Dehleez (1981)

The drama unfolds in urban Karachi and centers on Saeeda (Roohi Bano), a principled and resilient woman who endures profound setbacks—most notably being expelled from her home by her husband. Faced with adversity, she relocates to a lower-income neighborhood, determined to rebuild a life for herself and her children. Facing societal prejudice, financial hardship, and emotional turmoil, she finds strength in her character, dignity, and the support of kind-hearted neighbors. The story captures the struggles of middle-class women, the harsh realities of a male-dominated society, and the courage it takes to stand up for oneself while raising a family.
