Aurat Raj (transl. Women's Rule) is one of firstPakistani feminist film. Released in 1979, it was produced and directed byRangeela.[1][2] It is a satirical movie and was produced during the grim times for women under the conservative dictator, GeneralZia-ul-Haq's, socio-politically adverse dictatorship. Ahead of its time, it did not do well commercially at the box office.[1]

The plot is based on a short story ofShaukat Thanvi, where oppressedwomen of Pakistan fight back by forming afeminist movement on roads and gain political power too. After gaining political power, in a satirical comedy fantasy scene, the female lead gives a taste ofpatriarchy andmisogyny to Pakistani men by converting all of them into women a time.[1] The fantastical scenarios, musical flights and comedic twists in the film have been hailed as interventionist tools and techniques that help to complicate and refashion the present by envisioning radical futures.[3]
