What sets O Rangreza apart is also the female protagonist that is unapologetic and thoroughly brazen about her choices. The romance of O Rangreza is based on no typical meet-cute or the regular cliches that most dramas rely on. O Rangreza lays bare the male hypocrisy of our patriarchal norms: what is okay for a man is never okay for a woman. It also sheds light on the differences in counterparts in a marriage, such as how Mumtaz (Irsa Ghazal) is completely different in her personality than Khayam. The same way Qasim’s personality, fairly similar to Mumtaz’s mannerisms and attitudes, is a different picture than Sassi’s. Sassi is a firecracker and Qasim is a quiet, smiling admirer. Mumtaz is fearful and uninspiring, Khayaam is dominating and manipulative. The play not only explores the conflicts of a gender-biased society in relationships but also talks about what it means to face the double standards of society and how the repercussions for breaking a norm mean something else for a woman and something completely else for a man.
