The Return of Faraz Ali

The Return of Faraz Ali

by Aamina Ahmad

In the turbulent backdrop of late 1960s Lahore, Inspector Faraz Ali, a man torn between the world he was born into and the life he was given, is called back to his childhood grounds—the city's infamous red-light district. Tasked by his powerful and distant father to obscure the murder of a young courtesan, Faraz finds himself in the moral quagmire of his profession. The simple mission of covering up a marginalized community's tragedy becomes an inner journey of unveiling truths, as Faraz is ensnared by memories of his past and his abduction from the mother and sister he left behind. As he delves deeper into the secrets of his family and confronts his own precarious identity, he faces the age-old question: whom do we choose to protect, and at what cost? 'The Return of Faraz Ali' is not merely a story of familial ties and corrupt power plays; it is a riveting narrative exploring human integrity in a caste-driven society.
