As Pakistanis, we have learned about Fatima Jinnah and her unyielding soul with which she helped her sibling, Quaid e Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah. Notwithstanding, a few of us know hardly anything about the lady behind one of the major revolutions in the world’s history.
Danial K Afzal’s impending web series Fatima Jinnah intends to tell a riveting visual and real piece in light of the earliest female lawmaker of Pakistan. The series is separated into three different times of her life; Sundas Farhan, Sajal Aly, and Samiya Mumtaz will be seen playing quite possibly of history’s most un-credited revolutionists in every period individually.
Year 1929
The 14-minute-long teaser starts with a scene from 1929 as we consider Sundus Farhan to be Fatima Jinnah in her 30s, wore in an ivory sari, sitting in her Dental Clinic, as she reads a newspaper declaring the passing of Jinnah’s wife other Rattanbai. She is currently searching for a servant for her niece Dina Wadia and all the while has a “Notice of Cessation” directly in front of her. She is examining undisclosed issues with her comrade, Joseph, while there is an unopened letter from Harindarnath Chattopadahyay in front of her as well.

Year 1947
The visuals then take us to 1947 at the Northwest Railway Junction in Lahore, where a refugee train set to take travelers to Pakistan has been gone after. Sajal Aly should be visible as Fatima Jinnah in her 50s here as she entered the train individually and witness passing before her eyes. She finds a child crying in the lap of a dead mother.

Joseph continues onward the following carriage after they hear the sound of something breaking, just to find a shocked girl with eyes completely open, folded under dead bodies. She begins shouting for her life as Fatima stands numb before her. As the shouts reverberate, so is the aggravation that accompanies the acknowledgment that this is the cost of opportunity, this is the award of an independent state.

Year 1965
The story then moves to Katrak Parsi Colony Karachi, which was Pakistan’s then Federal Capital. Samiya Mumtaz plays Fatima in her 70s. She stands quietly seeing as Azaan reverberations behind the scenes. We hear a declaration that “Fatima Jinnah has chosen to make her re-enter politics.” She is as yet perusing the baffling, presently broken down letter, which she had gotten in 1929. Afterward, she moves out of her home to address the general population.

The series looks fascinating and the performances are very noteworthy, in any case, how edifying it would be for the country must be measured once it airs. It likewise stars Dananeer Mobeen as columnist Anita Poonamwala and Omer Abdullah Khan as comrade Joseph. The series is made and produced by Aur Digital and will release in 2023.
