22 Qadam – 11 Women Athletes From Different Backgrounds Unite For One Passion, Cricket Is The Heartbeat Of the Nation Confirmed, Regardless Of Gender!
Fari and Alizay are just short of 1 person to complete the 11 persons in the team. 22 Qadam balances humour and a serious side to the story brilliantly, as it takes us along Fari’s journey to realize her dream.
Sammy Comes Around!
Not just Kiryana and Fari, even Junaid joins in the comedy with his lame sense of humour, which was definitely a genuine effort to make Sammy feel comfortable about her background. The whole process of visiting players individually to ask them to be part of the team was not only interesting to watch, it made us become part of their journey. The narrative created a bond between the viewers and drama characters so that we are able to laugh along with them and feel their challenges as well.
Junaid, Oblivious To Love?
Poor Liza is being turned into someone conniving and scheming thanks to her father. Unfortunately, her father might be underestimating Junaid and over-estimating the entire situation. It doesn’t look like ignoring Junaid will make him fall in love with Liza. He only thinks of her as a friend. Though we question; how can he be so oblivious of her feelings?
The Story Of Every Girl Who Dreams Cricket
22 Qadam shows us another world, where girls, despite having talent, do not have the facilities, opportunities or permission from their families, to flourish in this field. From controlling family members to no direction or training; the drama maps the backstory of each player. But then it also gives one hope and guides viewers – how support of one family member, especially male family members, can make or break the choices we have in life.
It will be interesting to see them all playing together, hailing from diverse backgrounds, having different ambitions in life but sharing only one thing in common – an undying passion for cricket!
What Will It Take Amo To Come Around?
As Amo refuses to be pulled in to the playing the game, we wonder when she’ll finally come around. Every player’s story is different, and unfortunately. Amo’s will be realized when her engagement falls through with her fiancé in Germany. The drama shows us that there is no single way that girls will fight for their dreams, sometimes it takes more than just a supportive husband or brother, it takes a near miss, failed marriage or engagement for girls to realize they must never give up on their passion, the present, for the sake of a relationship, a future that hasn’t even begun.
That will be Amo’s story, and it might resonate for many young girls and budding athletes watching 22 Qadam!
