ARY Digital – Making Waves as Mainstream Social Change Catalyst

ARY Digital – As always is bringing an array of main steam productions with socially relevant issues with some of the recent cases being Dunk and Aulaad.

The most enterprising entertainment channel in Pakistan ARY Digital is now bringing the audience an array of mainstream productions with socially relevant issues being addressed, two new drama serials are being launched  with a foray of superstars, both the serials have BLOCKBUSTER written all over them.

DUNK being an intense & bold subject which hits the nerve of today’s times and AULAD heart-touching social drama.

A horrific incident is being depicted in DUNK, showcasing the female lead protagonist Sana Javed in a distressed look, meanwhile a stalwart of an actor Noman Ejaz is seen in shades of grey. Bilal Abbas is a new-age heart-throb and can be seen in the main lead, whatever he touches turns to gold these days, he is by far the most talented in the new era of actors. The plot is relevant in these times and brings an intense feel to the promos. Blockbuster is written all over the appeal of this drama serial.

On the other hand is in contrast a family drama, the heart-touching teaser of the upcoming drama Aulaad. Beautifully depicted characters are etched our by the upcoming serial, Aulad, shows yesteryear’s super lethal actors Marina Khan & Mohammad Ahmed in roles of suffering parents to a special, seemingly differently-abled girl child and a thankless, cruel male child, a son an heir, dialogues are heart wrenching and the storyline is a depiction of how our society’s fabric is being torn apart. Scenes are a delight to watch for the viewers, Hagan looks good in grey shades of a thankless son and the new actor as a special needs child looks quite promising.

Both the drama serials leave us on the edge of our seats and contain profound social messages that are a niche for this entertainment channel.

Aulaad is starting from Tuesday 22nd December at 08:00 PM, whereas Dunk is all set to hit the televisions screens from Wednesday 23rd December at 08:00 pm only on ARY Digital.

DUNK – False allegations or true??

Mind-Boggling trailer, with aptly cast innocent looking lead Sana Javed, playing the character of a college student who has accused her professor, a sober family man, Noman Ejaz, as Humayun. 

This is a debate that has ignited amongst the genders today, how far can you take a lie without proof? The dialogues, locales and performances by the entire cast, including the current sensation, Bilal Abbas & the girl playing the daughter of professor Humayun, leaves me stunned with her dialogue delivery.

The trailer has made me re-think my stance about the #metoo movement where a sexual abuse survivor denounces her aggressor, yet again the female being a considered a victim, a symbol of honor & the weaker sex, we have only & always seen this allegation from her perspective, DUNK makes me realize how capable this gender bias is in our inbred society, that can shatter a man’s life with 1 single violation of his character, that even his own daughter makes his touch of fatherly protection & purity, seem questionable.

DUNK seems to be highlighting this much needed conversation by weaving a story that depicts a man as a protagonist & his questionable act against the weaker gender.
