Plot[edit]
The story revolves around a character Boota (Faisal Qureshi) who belongs to Toba Tek Singh and is the only son of a landlord. He is a mischievous fellow who has failed to do well in school. Boota changes overnight when he falls in love with Mahru (Farah Shah) whose car breaks down near his village when she and her grandmother (Khursheed Shahid) are going to Lahore. Boota soon runs away from home and goes to Lahore.
Mahru runs an advertising agency and her assistant Faani (Kashif Mehmood) takes Boota to the boarding house of Zohra Khatoon (Deeba) where he lives. Meeru (Babar Ali) is a fellow resident there who belongs to a broken home and hence has a shattered personality. He makes false promises to girls and then blackmails them after he gets their photos and letters.
Mahru loves him and tries to reason with him. Meeru falls in love with Mahru too but is afraid to admit it because he does not want to be in a position where someone else can exploit him.
This play was quite popular at that time (1999).[3]
