Churails proves that not all superheroes wear capes; the ones in Churails wear veils. Coz, it’s about four badass women who take it upon themselves to fight for the rights of women, wronged by today’s outdated patriarchal social norms. The women are less superheroes, and more crusaders – the veiled crusaders, maybe.
Pakistani actresses Sarwat Gilani Mirza, Nimra Bucha, Mehar Bano and Yasra Rizvi play the four female vigilantes. The first ZEE5 Zindagi Original from Pakistan ‘Churails’ is made by well-known Pakistani writer-director, Asim Abbasi.
The trailer shows how the women operate a detective agency of sorts, which they’ve named Halal Designs. They specialise in digging up proof against men who are cheating on their wives. The sequences where they recruit other like-minded women for their crusade are quite cool.
Churails depicts feminism of a different, hard-hitting sort, where women hit back at society and its hypocrisy with spunk and spirit.
Churails premieres on ZEE5 Global on 11th August. Have a look at the trailer below
