Phavur Studios just released their song production “Sahiban”. Against the backdrop of three melodious voices of Amanat Ali, the gorgeous UrwaHocane and handsome Hassan Khan tell the Punjabi folklore, Mirza Sahiban.
The infamous Mirza
Sahiba story is retold by two dynamo women, Hira Yousafzai (Director), Hira
Farooqi (Producer), and pushed forward by the multi-talented ZayanAgha(On-set
Producer). The story is retold using modern language and a female empowering
twist.
The song sings to the younger generation who want to hear of strong individuals unwavering in their aspirations. For the first time ever, we see the female lead, UrwaHocane, as Sahiba basks in the essence of love for Mirza (Hassan Khan) AND more importantly, herself.
Phavur Studios is an
up-and-coming production house based in Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, and Toronto,
and now investing in content in Pakistan and underprivileged communities
around the world to bring untold stories to life. Spearheaded by a strong team
of independent filmmakers, Phavur is launching its first project with the
power of music through folkwarestory-telling.
The music video is
the first of its kind where we see that old traditional story-telling is being
met with empowering values. When two empowering women are the driving force of
a story, you can see that reflected on the screen and that is definitely the case
with Mirza Sahiban. There is no doubt that this catchy song will be a hit,
especially since romance is in the air with the wedding season in full swing.
Pakistan is home to
many inspiring romantic folk stories that tell the tale of pure love. Punjab is
one of the regions within Pakistan that is home to the folk stories of
Mirza-Sahiban, Sassi Punnu, Sohni-Mahiwal and more. We’re so excited to see
that international platforms like Phavur are focusing on ancient, traditional, and
cultural storytelling to capture the essence of story-telling in
Pakistan.
The video opens with
a beautiful song that plays for the duration as we see glimpses of the
blooming of love but by the end, we see why it is important for women to be in
full control of their own fate and there are better outcomes for women outside
of the ‘damsel in distress’ trope.
The song is sure to
be the song of the season and the go-to song for all romantic souls!
