We finally witnessed the last episode of the epic that Sinf E Aahan was yesterday. The drama ended on a positive note with a lot of emotions. Heartbreak, nostalgia, inspiration, and a message of strength was at the core of the last episode of Sinf E Aahan.
From the acting to the dialogues, the direction and editing, Sinf E Aahan made a mark on television, bringing about a drama that focused on female empowerment without the stereotypical cliches attached to it. Nadeem Baig, the captain who helmed the ship, made sure to extract the finest performances from his lead cast.
The Plot
Sinf E Aahan, by ISPR, was based on the life and training of female cadets from all walks of life, who were commissioned in the Pakistan Army. Highlighting factors like patriotism, love, deceit, betrayal, passion, and dedication, Sinf E Aahan, brought about the stories of seven female cadets, fighting their own internal battles and yet coming together for the cause of training as soldiers. Each cadet had a backstory of her own, highlighting concepts of feudalism, gender stereotypes, betrayal in love, poverty, dedication, and wealth.
Proper Closure
What we love about the last episode was the fact that every story got closure, especially Mahjabeen (Kubra Khan) and Rabia (Sajal Aly). Rather than rejoicing at the option Rabia receives to visit her brother after he is injured in Waziristan and Mahjabeen selected to lead the passing out parade instead of Rabia, the latter makes sure to uplift her long lost friend. Mahjabeen mends all bridges with Rabia, ensuring she gets to lead the parade with a calm and composed mind, only to get her childhood friend back.
All the cadets get emotional about being the first officer in their families and how it has brought honour for them. Aarzoo (Syra Yousuf) and Nathmy (Yehali Tashiya Kalidasa) rejoice and share nostalgic moments together and it is an absolute delight to witness. We love how Aarzoo’s character became empowered in the course of the drama and, rather than a dependent girl who longed for love, we have a confident soldier of the Pakistan Army, ready to serve the nation and sacrifice her life. Shaista (Yumna Zaidi) returns home to witness her fiancé Kaamil (Junaid Jamshed) opening a girls’ school in her name. Pariwesh (Ramsha Khan) gets a warm welcome by the chief of the tribe, all her fears vanishing. The tribe witnessing her rifle-shooting and marksmanship skills first-hand was an amazing experience to see on screen. Nathmy Pereira flies off to Sri Lanka, but not before she bids goodbye to her her dear ‘Uncle’ Col. Mujahid Saleem.
The Reaction To Sinf E Aahan
With the moving and relatable content that Sinf E Aahan offered, it would be safe to say that its impact will be long-lasting and important. The drama was appreciated because of its unique content and how it portrayed women. It was free of routine family politics, focusing on empowerment instead.
Netizens flooded Twitter and Instagram with posts praising the content and the ending of Sinf E Aahan, more so because it brought about a refreshing change from what we had been seeing on television. The change of content was like a breath of fresh air and also kept the audience, especially the female audience, hooked to the edge of their seats.
Final Word
All in all, Sinf E Aahan proved to be a very unique drama with powerful content focused on the empowerment of women. If not motivating women to enlist, it has definitely given women the push they need to forge their own identities.
