Written and directed by Zain Anwar, the short film delicately delves on the freedom of a woman to follow her dream independent of male support. The protagonist, Aamna (played by Farida Jalal) burns with the desire to perform the Hajj but is crippled by a Saudi Arabian law that forbids women to travel for the pilgrimage without a male blood relative. The movie revolves around the characters in her life and her lone struggle to achieve the seemingly unattainable.
Speaking about the release, Manish Aggarwal, Business Head – ZEE5 India said:
“We are proud to bring a film like Mehram to the OTT audience, this Eid. Given the reach of the platform, we hope the film can go beyond the realm of entertainment to spark a thought and subsequent conversations among the viewers.
Our legacy of the ZEE Group gives us the unique strength of having a strong pulse on viewer preferences. We are aware that India has an audience whose preferences are as diverse as their stories.
