Background:
Qatil Haseenaon Ke Naam is an anthology series created by Meenu Gaur and stars Sanam Saeed, Sarwat Gilani, Beo Raana Zafar, Faiza Gillani, and Eman Suleman alongside other cast members. The series has 6 episodes, each having a runtime of 45-50 minutes.
From the article:
Her femmes fatales chase their desires--money, power, status, love, freedom, revenge--while conducting a bloody orchestra, at times quite literally. And there is no moral comeuppance awaiting them.
To get the mood and feel of noir, Gaur shot her series in old parts of Karachi and Lahore during the foggy winter months.
“It’s set in this mythical space called ‘Androon Sheher’, like an old city...It could be old Calcutta, Old Delhi, where the buildings have a certain old-world feel but are housed in an otherwise modern city,” she explains.
Watch out for a few pink-purple passages ("pulpy peppiness of Bollywood"...) but a great deal of background can be found here for this director.
No news as yet regarding a streaming platform in the US. But with "no moral comeuppance" for the femmes fatales, will it find its path blocked or not?Let's hope not...
