About Iqtidar Special

After losing her father, Mehrunisa (Anmol Baloch) becomes the steady hand holding her family together. When her brother is killed in a road accident, grief hardens into a demand for justice, placing her against people with influence and every reason to bury the truth. Her fight pulls her into the orbit of Shahnawaz Shah (Ali Raza), a politically connected man whose loyalties are far less simple than they first appear. Their charged encounters bring romance into a story driven by power, public image, and moral compromise, while Saman Shah (Rubina Ashraf) commands the political world surrounding them. Written by Hina Huma Nafees and directed by Fahim Burney, Iqtidar Special gives its heroine something more compelling than helplessness: a voice she refuses to lower. The result is a tense clash between privilege and accountability, with Mehrunisa's resolve keeping the emotional stakes sharply personal.

Editor’s Take

Anmol Baloch's steel-spined Mehrunisa gives this political romance its pulse, and her friction with Ali Raza makes every contest of wills crackle. The mix of justice, ambition, and attraction is shamelessly addictive, while Rubina Ashraf brings delicious authority to the power game. Our one gripe? The familiar entitled-hero setup can feel less daring than its heroine. Still, this is guilty-pleasure storytelling with a backbone, and we are happily hooked.
