The highly esteemed Pakistani web series Churails that was due for its second season next year, has been taken down for Pakistani audience, owing to its controversial monologue that went viral on social media. Hence, the journey of highly idolized, daredevil girl gang that harvested massive accolades globally breaks off in Pakistan.

The staggering announcement was brought to public eye by Asim Abbas, who serves as the show-runner of the blockbuster series. Taking it to his social handles, the ‘Cake’ director seemed extremely disheartened, as he emphasized ‘Ban on Churails’ to be loss of every other individual who commended the optimism that this web series delineated.

Asim captioned, “How strange for #Churails to be lauded internationally, and now not be viewable in its country of origin. In the very country where hundreds of artists came together to create something that could initiate dialogue and open doors for new narratives. Artistic freedom squashed because it is wrongly perceived by some as a moral threat. Predictable, and yet, still disappointing. For this is not just my loss. This is a loss for women and marginalised communities that this show meant to re-represent. This is a loss for all actors, writers, directors and technicians across Pakistan, who were hoping for digital/OTT to be their saviour. And it’s a home-run for all the misogynists who have once again proven that they are the only voice that matters.”

Here to mention, the international giants, including India will premiere the second season of megahit presentation as per schedule.

About Pakistani web series Churails

Churails is Pakistan’s first ever crime thriller series, brought to life by Indian broadcaster Zee5 exclusive and Zindagi Original. Its quirky timeline and distinctive plots, revolving around female empowerment earned the series stupendous kudos and acclamations. Hence, its first season, comprised of 10 episodes that aired earlier this year was an enormous hit, both nationally and internationally.

Plot: Churails is a tale of feminism, women vengeance and girl power, centering on four courageous women, who have been mistreated by men authority in their past. Hence, the foursome unites on a mutual ground that is to retaliate.

In a façade of veiled women, the female troop combats against men dominance, in order to provide justice to the wrecked and ill-treated women of this sick society.

Reason of imposing ban on Churails

However, as Pakistani viewers are way too quick to judge the book by its cover, the remarkable series was also criticized by a bundle of people. And in present, the series has landed in hot water yet again that led to its permanent ban in the country.

Few days back, a video clip from Churails went viral on social media, with the pessimistic twitter users calling for ban on the series.

The short clip that took the internet by storm was of Hina Khuwaja, revealing how she got a job at a particular salon. Hina says, “I used to give hand jobs twice a day to my boss who was 20 years older than me. After this, he gave me a job and after giving several more jobs, he gave me a promotion. Now I am the wife to the same person.”

Just received a clip of any drama or series of Hina Khawaja …. I am not sure it was an online series or an on air drama. But the language she is using is disturbing or shocking for me. Mostly our dramas stories are cheating, flirting with close relatives. pic.twitter.com/J5FQnRUx6y

The series was immediately poured scorn on by the sick minded audience, over promoting such loutish content. As the debate over monologue upsurge to popularity, Zee5 original decided to terminate the series for Pakistani audience. Hence, Churails is now banned for viewership in Pakistan.

Twitter reactions

In an era of drama serials depicting mind-numbing love stories, women fighting over same man, evil in-laws and family disputes etc. Churails voiced out some daring and meaningful societal tissues of female oppression, male dominance and women liberation, followed with portraying the sturdier side of the females.

When the series was praised by a majority of Pakistani population, there were some gloom-ridden pessimists, ready to criticize the screenplay. Similarly, the recent ban on Churails has received mixed reactions on twitters, with some defending the series while others approving the prohibition.

Well #churails is banned not surprising at all. But what a waste of good script direction & all the hard work put together by the cast. Only to be sabotage by a dialogue like Hand Job which was unnecessary & avoidable. This is Not women empowerment but stupidity#PEMRAhoshMeinAao pic.twitter.com/ba7gzVznt0

It’s amazing that men in a country with one of the highest rates of porn viewership have a problem with a scene from #Churails that highlighted the grim reality of what women must deal with at the workplace.

Ban action movies too as Pak has had a crisis of violence and killing!

Murder, rape, violence, premarital relationships and explicit language have all been done in Pakistani media before. The only difference was #Churails is strong female led storytelling.

Honestly, banning #Churails just shows “maard ko dard” hogaya hai. I am happy a lot of people got to watch it as soon as it was released. It was bound to touch a nerve. Hopefully more of such shows to follow!

#Churails is banned in Pakistan because they've highlighted many imp issues of the society such as rape, patriarchy, strict mindsets of society and cheater husbands
We can watch this nonsense only in my country A culture that supports extremism, hate, violence and harassment WOW pic.twitter.com/yzxcPwIfbT

Nevertheless, here are some users blaming the series for encouraging such bold content and approving the ban.

Indian funded project ,How can anyone think that it could be in great favour of Pakistan .
The purpose is to portray the their desired side of Pakistan #Churails

#Churails All those defending this crap show I have one question for you. The question is that when you plan to defend people like Abu Juhal and Yazeed and Firaun and Namrood. Because you are no different than these people. You are all same. pic.twitter.com/RnuWtKhuJG

The value they are showing of woman in this Drama is not real one given here in Pakistan because our country is not that much modern as it’s shown in this series & not every good woman smoke cigarettes it’s Islamic republic not India #Churails @shailjaofficial @ZEE5India https://t.co/ANQ981WWIu
