Story Of Daurr
The plot of “Daurr” revolves around three families whose children attend a private school in Karachi. Shezray, the CEO of a textile company, has two daughters and parade of maids and drivers. Minhail, a mother of two, is haunted by her past, and dreams of taking up her career again. Hina wants to climb the social ladder and there is nothing that matters to her more. The three women have different aspirations, but one thing is common between them: they want their child to win the prestigious Asian games their school is competing in. The drama depicts the theme that all that glitters is not gold and children need love and affection rather than accolades and medals to be happy. Director Wajahat Rauf sheds light on the madness of the rat race that everyone is caught up in, in his unique way with this drama, using the perfect choice of actors who have brilliantly brought their characters to life.

Speaking to the press during drama series “Daurr” press conference, novel “Eye On The Prize” writer Safinah D. Elahi shares her thoughts.
I am happy that mainstream media is acquiring scripts based on novels. When I wrote the book, I wanted to reach a larger audience; this has been ethereal experience, and my first time working on a television series. Worked with the dream team to make this happen!

It was a pleasure doing Daurr – Eye On The Prize mostly due to two reasons: the fact that I got to do show that was based on an extremely well written book by Safinah D. Elahi and second, I got to work with my friends who also happen to be great actors.
