Asim Abbasi’s second project after ‘Cake’, a web series releasing on Zindagi Channel, ‘Churail’s‘ trailer came out today and everyone’s talking about it; trending on Twitter all day, Churail seems to be showing strong female leads fighting against patriarchy in the society.
The trailer has exceeded people’s expectations and seems to be job well done. Content that blows your mind away, Churail seems to be much awaited by both Indian and Pakistani audiences, now more than ever, after the release of the trailer.
Churail’s trailer narrates the story of four females, proclaiming themselves as Churails who have come togethers, forming a detective agency, to spy and expose their cheating husbands amongst the elite of the city.
Showcasing strong minded, independent women, they seem to be saving other female victims of abuse, harassment and mistreatment at the hands of their husbands.
Churails focuses on four women hailing from different professions and backgrounds -one is a lawyer, another a wedding planner, a boxer and ex-convict, who come together for the same goal.
The 10-episode series, comprising of 55-minute episodes, will be premiering on August 11 and can be binge watched since all 10 episodes will be releasing together.
The web series aims to challenge the hypocrisy deeply rooted in patriarchal society that ignores rights of women. The plot also shed light on social issues like sexism, child abuse, classism and others.
Watch the official trailer below:

Is this content about so-called feminism, liberalism or they are showing women who wear burqa have any purpose to wear it???
Or then they are giving idea that one can also wear burqa for secret purposes.
Nonetheless, I did not get the point of showing veil here. #Churails pic.twitter.com/mUyrqWJZlr— Asma Khan (@ImAsmakhan) July 31, 2020
Earlier this month it was revealed that India’s major channel, Zee Entertainment Enterprise will be showcasing a few Pakistani dramas and web series through their digital app called Zindagi- Zee5Global.
It wouldn’t be wrong to say that Indian audiences totally love to watch Pakistani content because of the unique storylines and they just cannot get enough of the content.
However, as soon as the news was revealed, it received an overwhelming response not only from Pakistan but from India as well.
The poster of the first Pakistani series, which will be aired on Zindagi, was revealed earlier and has been creating a storm on social media.
Titled “Churails”, the upcoming series is directed by the talented Pakistani filmmaker Asim Abbasi. The web series features Sarwat Gilani, Nimra Bucha, Mehar Bano and Yasra Rizvi in pivotal roles.
The poster was first revealed the gorgeous Sarwat Gilani through her social media accounts.
Get ready to witness the revolution brought by HEROES donning a BURKA. Premieres 11th August on ZEE5 Premium Poster artwork by Samya Aarif.
Have a look at the poster below!
To create the hype, the actress also changed her name from Sarwat Gilani to Churail Sarwat on her social media accounts.
While talking about the series, the ‘Cake’ director Asim Abbasi said:
“A story about strong women embarking on a journey of self-discovery, empowerment and sisterhood, I believe ‘Churails’ is a timely show with pertinent themes that will resonate with audiences globally”.
