What Its About
Directed by critically acclaimed British-Indian director Meenu Gaur, the desi noir series is a six-part anthology series featuring seven women. The series boasts of an eclectic ensemble cast including Sanam Saeed, Sarwat Gilani, Samiya Mumtaz, Faiza Gillani, Beo Raana Zafar, Eman Suleman, Saleem Mairaj, Ahsan Khan, Osman Khalid Butt, and Sheheryar Munawar.
While we have seen women as archetypes of patience often forgiving the treachery they have suffered, this show unearths their unapologetic, unforgiving side. The web series showcases what happens when a woman’s limit is pushed.
Written by the dynamic writer duo – Farjad Nabi and Meenu Gaur, the desi noir is set in a neighborhood rife with secrets and gives a glimpse of what happens when women decide to take charge of their destiny and not kneel before situations and society.
A Word From The Director
Commenting on the series, Creator and Director, Meenu Gaur said, “I am excited that I got the chance to create a show which delivers on suspense, mystery, and entertainment while leaving the indelible stamp of a woman’s point of view all over it. Giving film noir a South-Asian/desi and the feminist twist was definitely on my filmmaking bucket list. With this show, the femme fatale shake off several decades of the male gaze and play on their terms.”

Sarwat Gilani, who plays Mehak, said, “This series showcases the essence of life through different people and characters. The series is empowering, and it highlights the issues women face in a very honest way instead of sugar-coating them. Qatil Haseenaon Ke Naam is an important show for everyone as it portrays the consequences of trying to exploit and undermine women.”
Sanam Saeed, who plays Zuvi, added, “I am extremely happy to collaborate with Zindagi in this very different and mazedaar role compared to what I have done in the past.
