"Shani, you need to finish your test too." The demand from his significant other Nazo (Hania Aamir) hits Shani (Ali Rehman) out of nowhere. "Test? What test?" he goes, and afterward it occurs to him.
Shani and Nazo can't have youngsters and it can't be the lady's shortcoming generally. For men, it's difficult to accept. Skeptical, Shani doesn't want to discuss this further. The shouting begins soon enough.
The kickoff of the trailer for Wajahat Rauf's new film, Parday Mein Rehne Do (PMRD), a dramatization satire, doesn't keep down its huge spoiler; there is certainly a ripeness issue with Shani and, since it's a Wajahat Rauf film (the man is known for making interesting, family motion pictures), thus lies the parody.
Shani's father (Javed Sheik) is irate in light of the fact that different couples are reproducing whole cricket crews. "Somebody from the area is conveying their 10th youngster and our child doesn't have an opener," he furiously jokes to his better half. What kind of 'happiness regarding' conjugal life is this!" he hollers.
The subject of barrenness for the most part hasn't been handled in both film or TV in Pakistan, since it is generally expected thought about no-no. However, all that is going to change with Wajahat Rauf's Eid-ul-Fitr discharge, Parday Mein Rehne Do
For an intense film, the jokes and gags about the distinction among 'significant' and 'barren', synthetic home cures, mantras and tantras, fly immovable.
Nonetheless, more significant than the layering of humor are the feelings. How does a couple, who love one another, manage such an unfortunate disclosure, Wajahat tells me as we at long last put our ears to our cellphones for a discussion.
PMRD, his fourth film, and furthermore one of the five movies booked to come out this Eid-ul-Fitr (the others being Ghabrana Nahin Hai, Dum Mastam, Chakkar and Tere Baajre Di Rakhi), is a takeoff from what he frequently makes: carefree movies about affection, sentiment (Chhalawa) and, as a general rule, travels (Karachi Se Lahore and its spin-off Lahore Se Aagay).
"At the rear of my psyche I needed to accomplish something else with my fourth film," Wajahat tells Icon. Wajahat and Yasir Hussain were outfitting to compose their next film when, he says, God gave PMRD to him.
This is a parody film with a message that is appealing, he says. "Shaadi biyaah [weddings], travels, there was a period for that for me - and it isn't like I have developed past those sort of stories - however after three movies, one needs to wander into different types prior to returning to his usual range of familiarity."
The screenplay by Mohsin Ali (Wrong No., Chhuppan Chhuppai and the forthcoming Ghabrana Nahin Hai) was at that point prepared for shoot. The sought-after entertainer, Hania, definitely had some awareness of the story, so the undertaking just required a capable and willing chief, an agent and a decent male lead.
"While Hania definitely had some awareness of the story, we wanted a solid entertainer to pull off a similarly solid male person. Some other entertainer could mull over a person like Shani," Wajahat says about Ali.
The venture went into creation right away.
Wajahat, it's notable in the business, doesn't invest energy contemplating on projects. He isn't obliged to studios and merchants for consents on the grounds that, quite often, his own cash is on the line.
"I think since the subject of barrenness hasn't been handled in both film or TV, it holds curiosity an incentive for myself and for the entertainers," Wajahat reasons. The subject is everything except thought about no-no however, he reminds me, comparable stories have been made in Bollywood.
A story like this could in all likelihood be a subject for TV, however film, he contends, holds a higher, more renowned family than TV. Film, by means of global shows, film celebrations, opens entryways for social trade, and connects with the two outsiders and expats in a manner TV doesn't.
The medium is additionally substantially more assorted, with long haul life span and reach through adjuvant roads, like advanced stages (Wajahat's movies regularly get gotten by Eros, and the stage likewise financed his web-series Enaaya, with one more set to follow).
"A film carries with it a twisting impact that makes buzz, so having the right subject has a significant effect," Wajahat proceeds.

"Doing things another way is additionally a movie producer's liability. The business has heated up at this point. Three four years prior, film was excessively new for trial and error be that as it may, with spine chillers, for example, Laal Kabootar, things are progressively transforming," he says, further clarifying his explanations behind doing PMRD.
The film began shooting in February 2020 however, with barely 18 days of shoot in the can, the Covid pandemic ended PMRD's creation for almost a year. Creation continued precisely one year after the fact, in February 2021, with an additional 18-day spell.
Wajahat, be that as it may, didn't wait during the year. He coordinated the hit sequential Raqs-I-Bismil featuring SarahKhan and Imran Ashraf, for Hum TV. His last introduction to TV, as a chief, was Shaadi Mubarak Ho in 2016 (he had been delivering dramatizations - yet not guiding them - for the beyond 18 years, he tells me). The cheerful series ran on ARY Digital and featured Kubra Khan and Yasir Hussain.
Raqs, an intense TV show composed by Hashim Nadeem, was another blessing. It permitted Wajahat to dominate the dismal tones of feelings that PMRD required.
The film, given its subject, isn't all horrid and dim, notwithstanding, Ali Rehman lets me know when we talk on the telephone a couple of hours after my discussion with Wajahat.
PMRD is principally a romantic tale around two individuals, Ali says. "This is a family performer. There is a sentiment point in it, and there's satire in the circumstances. Nonetheless, the film isn't a parody," he avows. "We're conveying a message while remembering that the crowd will watch PMRD with their kids."
Ali's personality Shani would be promptly conspicuous by everybody coming to the films. A working class, taught, reasonable, delicate and sure youngster, Shani is unquestionably something contrary to his loved ones. Like most of youngsters, Shani is terrified of his dad, Ali clarifies.
Individuals by and large think that fruitlessness is either a man or a lady's concern when, as a matter of fact, it impacts the entire family," he says, clarifying the profundity of the issue they're handling.
"Individuals don't comprehend that there are alternate approaches to having youngsters," he clarifies, which is likely one of the issues PMRD's story might address (that is, this essayist trusts it does).
The film's planning could never have been something more, he says. As per Ali, according to the examination he accomplished for the job, the Punjab government is caught up with making ripeness centers available and free for individuals who need them.
Hania, who I get to address past 12 PM, is all commendations for her co-star.
"I'm super-glad for Ali for taking the person. A ton of male entertainers would have been reluctant to do the job. They would think 'How might we, as saints, be viewed as na-mard [infertile]'," she says via telephone.
"There is a silly disgrace joined to barrenness. One needs to see it as something not in your control. Now and again you can't have children," she says.
For men, it's more straightforward to fault a lady," she says. The go-to arrangement is to just remarry: "Iss ko chhorro, agli pakro [leave one lady, and follow another]," Hania says.
We're attempting to jab them… inspire them to open their eyes. A few won't approve of it and some will like it, yet that occurs with each film, regardless of its classification and message," she says.
"I don't think there is a particular opportunity to talk about a specific point, including Eid," she tells me as we get to the subject of why this might possibly be an ideal Eid-ul-Fitr discharge.
"I don't think Eid movies ought to be of a particular kind," she starts. "Individuals who come to see films aren't transforming, they're similar ones who go to the films on Eid or typical days."
As per Hania, assuming we just delivery films with average stories and amusement esteem on Eid - i.e., routine romantic tales - then, at that point, that would make a prosaic, constrictive picture of Pakistani film that sounds inconvenient over the long haul, all things considered.
PMRD, coincidentally, additionally has tunes and moves - this is a business film all things considered - however the significance of the message is undeniably more conspicuous.
"The more individuals come to watch PMRD on Eid, the more they can discuss it - and it's better that a many individuals talk about it," says Hania. "Our motivation to make this film is to begin a discussion."
Hania's personality, Nazish (affectionately called Nazo) is incredibly engaged by her own self, the entertainer tells me. "She is brimming with affection, and she's amusing and loves to live it up. You sit with her and you relax due to her energy. She's that individual, jiss ke saath baith ke maza aata hai [she's the kind of young lady who you appreciate hanging out with].
"Nazo was so genuine, and I love doing characters who are near the real world, since I'm like that, in actuality, as well. I could connect with her at the same time, simultaneously, she can separate among good and bad. Assuming you cross her, or hurt her sentiments, she will take as much time as is needed dealing with it," the entertainer clarifies.
"I think there is a collaboration in making a person," she says, clarifying that she loves Mohsin's composition and Wajahat's bearing. As a matter of fact, Hania calls Wajahat an expert of subtleties with regards to comedic subtleties.
For reasons unknown, you can't get Wajahat far from satire. "For my purposes, I'll continuously stay with parody," he tells me, tolerating his own tendency towards the class.
His next film may very well be a hard and fast silly satire yet for the present, with Parday Mein Rehne Do, he's blissful going amiss from his usual range of familiarity by handling a subject that truly matters.
