Dillagi is a romantic story of Mohid (Humayun Saeed) and Anmol (Mehwish Hayat). It is set in the narrow back streets of Sukkur in interior Sindh, where Anmol lives a simple life with her mother and younger sister Mishal Ansari. Before he died, Anmol's father had paid off a debt he owed to local moneylender Kifayat Ali using his home as security, but Anmol's mother has no proof of the debt repayment, so they are an easy mark for fraud. Kifayat Ali engages Mohid, who specializes in real-estate and a little ghundagardi on the side to evict Anmol's family. The clash between Mohid and Anmol is the crux of this story.
Iman Ali was offered the protagonist role in the series, however she declined it due to her reluctance to work in summers.[4]
The show was dubbed in Arabic under the title الحب المستحیل and is available as VOD on shahid.net. The show is also available on MX Player app. It was also aired on ARY Digital's sister channel ARY Zindagi.
The series received acclaim due to its script, performances and strong female protagonist.[5] [6] The Nation praised the writing for breaking the gender stereotypes.[7] DAWN Images praised the writing for the depiction of family values, women bonds and strong female protagonist, which was rare on television at that time.[8] [9] The misogynistic elements of the plotline were however criticized.[10] [11]
