Sang-e-Mah (Urdu: سنگِ ماہ, transl. Moonstone) is a Pakistani television series, and second series in the trilogy preceded by Sang-e-Mar Mar. Having central plot line inspired from William Shakespeare's Hamlet, it is written by Mustafa Afridi, directed by Saife Hassan and produced by Momina Duraid under her banner production MD Productions. The series revolves around the mysteries that unfold when a young man Hilmand decides to avenge the murder of his father. It focuses on the oppression of women in the form of 'ghag'[a] in tribal areas and also deals with interreligious harmony. It features an ensemble cast of Nauman Ijaz, Atif Aslam, Sania Saeed, Samiya Mumtaz and Omair Rana with Kubra Khan, Zaviyar Nauman Ijaz and Hania Aamir in supporting roles. This marks the television acting debut of Aslam who played the main role of Hilmand Khan, and sung the soundtrack of the series as well.[2][3] The series had a cinematic launch on 8 January 2022, while it premiere on Hum TV on 9 January.[4]
Sang-e-Mah earned widespread critical acclaim for the cast's performances, Aridi's script including the engaging storyline, strong characters, and impactful dialogues but was faulted for stereotypical portrayals of Pashtuns, with TRPs ranging from 4.4 to 9.3, throughout its run. At the 22nd Lux Style Awards, it won Best TV Writer and Best TV Director out of seven nominations.
