Halala Review

A web series by Ullu Originals, its story revolves around the relationship of a newly-wed muslim couple, Afza and Raahil, initially happy and basking in the sweetness of their new marriage. However, things go sour pretty soon as Raahil, once in a fit of rage, divorces his wife after 'Triple Talaq'. To save his broken marriage, Raahil takes help from his friend, Zaid, for the infamous practice of 'Nikah Halala', wherein a divorced muslim woman has to marry someone else, consummate this farcical marriage and divorce this other guy in order to become a lawful wife of her first husband. It stars Shafaq Naaz, Ravi Bhatia, Ejaz Khan, Neelima Azeem and Deepika Singh Goyal in important roles. The storyline is predictable but your heart goes to the woman, subjected to this brutality in the name of religion. The characters are nice and Shafaq's role is pivotal and does justice , in its own way, to Afza.
