Aangan (Urdu: آنگن, lit. 'Courtyard') is a Pakistani period drama series, based on the 1962 eponymous novel by Khadija Mastoor,[5] originally broadcast on Hum TV.[6] Apart from the initial few episodes, the story set in British India, is narrated by Aaliya, who is an ambitious girl and witnesses the stories of relations affected at the time of partition of India, presenting the trials and tribulations as her own family falls divided.

The serial was created and produced by Momina Duraid under MD Productions and directed by Mohammed Ehteshamuddin. Based on Mastoor's novel, Mustafa Afridi wrote the screenplay. The serial stars Mawra Hocane as Aaliya, Ahsan Khan as Subhan and Safdar (dual role), Sonya Hussyn as Salma, Sajal Aly as Chammi, Ahad Raza Mir as Jameel, Hira Mani as Tehmina, and Rabia Butt as Kusum.[1]

Aangan was highly anticipated, with a huge star cast and a high production budget.[7] It mostly received positive reviews from critics and praise for its cinematography, visuals,[8][9] and performances, especially Aly's performance.[10] It received multiple nominations at the 19th Lux Style Awards, including Best TV Play, Best TV Actress (critics and viewers) for Aly, and Best Director.[11]
