A vicious circle of love, lust, longing and Lahore - based on the International Bestseller, 'Moth Smoke', by Mohsin Hamid
Cast: Adnan Siddiqui, Ayeshah Alam, Aijaz Aslam, Shahzad Nawaz and Amir Abbas
Description: Set in the city of Lahore, Daira captures the heart and soul of an 'independent Pakistan'. It is a film about givings and misgivings, love and deceit or how Mohsin puts it in the book aptly, between the 'cooled' and the 'un cooled'.
Reviews:
"For those who have had enough of Hindi-film remakes and teleplays with tired themes, this is a telefilm on the anvil that attempts to be daringly different - or, in movie parlance, 'thora sa hat kay!'"
Sanna Bucha, Newsline
"The story is great, the movie is brilliant."
Women's Own
"I believe it is important to support new creative talent, especially here in Pakistan- I'm proud to be associated with this project."
Mohsin Hamid (author of Moth Smoke)
"Daira - a fresh breath of air in Pakistan's teleworld."
