"Overcoat" is a tragic story of a destitute young man who tried to keep up appearances and his poverty under the overcoat He looked dandy with a hat and a can.

How people tend to stereotype people by their outward appearance; societies see the outer shell of people and immediately make a judgement without looking deeper. People are rejected because of their appearance; how appearances can be misleading.

The story 'Overcoat' is about a young man who dresses smartly, neatly and is well groomed in order to conform with the society.The story 'Overcoat' is about a young man who dresses smartly, neatly and is well groomed in order to conform with the society.

[Aqabutt426]

@muhammadtoqeer1988

I can explain..

1- He had thin mustache

2- the girl was short and fat n the boy was long n smart

3- there was a rose in collar of his coat

4- us ka accident truck k sath hua not car..

Anyhow that was a good effort... well done

[muhammadtoqeer1988]

@Aqabutt426 Yes you are right brother we made this film by changing all these things, because it is very difficult to shot the film as it is in the story even Hollywood filmmakers change the events while they are adopting a story.

Thanks for the appreciation and please spread this film because we did a lot of effort on that and for an artist appreciation of the work is enough.

[50rajput]

@Aqabutt426 sir zarori nahin k drama exactly novel jaisa hi banaya jaye balke shukar hai phool nahin rakh dia collar main warna voh ukka hi mental lagta. main to keh raha hon k aaj kal k hisab se coat ka style bhi change karna chahiye tha or lathi uss dour main larkay pakartay hon ge aaj kal kon lathi lay k ghoomta hai. a lot to improve

[50rajput]

Acting achi nahin thi lakin us ki kher hai kyun k students k level pe its okay. but dressing main bht blunder mara hai aaj kal kon larka lathi pakar k chalta hai yar

[50rajput]

aaj kal k dour k mutabiq dressing to change kar detay zarori nahin k jis zamanay main drama likha gaya hai usi zamanay k kapray pehnanay thay. paan wala modern banaya hai jo ye overcoat wala banda to dressing se koi ban than k phirne wala nahin balke acha khasa pagal lag raha tha. sorry to say koi halka lafz zehan main aaya nahin

@mizharulimankhan Please for God sake correct your information before commenting. The concept was even not conceived by PTV. This concept has come from the short story Overcoat by Ghulam Abbas. Piss off.

@Aqabutt426 Basically, what you are saying is that One should open his right eye when waking as it is written in story. The main idea is taken by story. These guys done their creative treatment.

[Aqabutt426]
