Below is the story of episodes 01 and 02 of the drama ‘Qalandar‘ that were aired on 14 & 15 October 2022 on Geo TV.
Episode 01 Story
A humble, decent, and religious girl, Dur-e-Adan (Komal Meer) lives in a village where she is hailed as a spiritual being because her prayers are always answered. Orphaned, she lives with her loving paternal uncle Ayub (Noor-ul-Hassan) and his cruel wife Rahat (Kinza Malik).
Despite treating Adan like a maid, Rahat keeps torturing and taunting her. One season, the villagers suffer from barren land due to a lack of rain. Ayub requests Adan to pray to God to bless the village with rain. She prays with all her heart and moments later, it starts pouring.
Irfan (Ali Abbas) is an obedient son, who works as a lecturer in a small school in the village. He has three younger siblings; Tabraiz (Muneeb Butt), a young, modern boy who studies at a high-class university in the city, Juhi (Fajjer Khan), a beloved but lazy daughter, and youngest Nomi (Sadoon Ali).
Episode 02 Story
Although Irfan supports his family in all sorts of ways, his mother Safiya (Asma Abbas) keeps praising her younger son Tabraiz for his brilliance. Shafaq (Kinza Razzak), Irfan’s maternal cousin likes him and despises Juhi for her sloppiness.
Shafaq’s mother, Qudsia (Naima Khan) keeps persuading her to make a good image in front of Safiya in hopes that Safiya hitches Shafaq with her educated son, Tabraiz. Safiya and her husband Yaqoob (Kashif Mehmood) miss Tabriaz immensely and eagerly wait for his studies to get over soon so he gets a decent job.
In the city, Tabraiz befriends a girl, Sumbal (Hiba Aziz) at his university. Sumbal is a spoiled brat with anger issues who shows off her father’s wealth while abhorring the poor and deprived. When Tabraiz decides to visit his family, Yaqoob plans a trip to his elder brother Ayub’s house. Ayub’s elder son, Tanvir lives with his wife Aneela separately. Despite his love marriage, he keeps a lecherous eye on Adan, making her feel uncomfortable.
