Story

“Sang-e-Mar Mar” delves into the intricacies of a Pashtun family, led by Gulistan Khan and his wife Shameem, with their sons Safiullah, Aurang, and Goher, along with their daughter Bano. Tradition tightly grips the family, exemplified by Gulistan’s adherence to Pashtun customs, notably in attire and values. Aurang, unlike his siblings, carries urban perspectives, tethering emotionally only to his mother, fostering frequent visits to their ancestral village, Garhi Baran.

Another narrative thread weaves through Shireen’s life, residing with her elder brother Saif-ur-Rehman and his manipulative wife, Pari. Shireen’s past affection for Aurang intertwines with the familial feud between their households, complicating any potential interaction. Meanwhile, Bano faces the suffocation of a forced marriage, her resentment palpable towards her husband Torah due to perceived social status mismatches and family ties.

The convergence of these storylines breeds tension and tragedy. Goher’s duplicitous love affair entangles Shireen and Durkhanay, leading to fatal misunderstandings and cascading repercussions. Betrayals, murders, and the unearthing of dark family secrets ensue, each character grappling with the weight of tradition, love, and vengeance. Ultimately, amidst the chaos, Shireen’s resilience shines, navigating treacherous waters to salvage what remains of shattered lives and fractured bonds.
