Description

With the fascinating and tenacious Feroza Begum at the centre of the storm, Tarana Husain Khan's adventure, which is laced with grandeur, tragedy, and imagination, explores the social, political, and religious dimensions of 1897 Sherpur. Recently, the blue-eyed Feroza disobeyed her family's wishes and went to the Benazir Palace to celebrate Nawab Shams Ali Khan's sawani. When she was kidnapped and held captive in the Nawab's harem, which was hopping with seductive activity and riddled with shady power struggles, tragedy coloured the night. At the Bazaar Chowk, dastangoi Kallan Mirza captivated his audience with the legend of the sorcerer Tareek Jaan and his chimerical city, the Tilism-e-Azam, where women were imprisoned in beneath cellars, as tyranny and repression tightened their grip inside the royal walls.
