Synopsis[edit]
"Dumpukht" is a cooking technique in which rice, meat and vegetables are cooked on a low flame in a dough-sealed pot. Thus, the story revolves around the passion of love, which faces societal pressure and foreign heat and creates fire which causes destruction.
It focuses on how mystical practices, in the name of holiness, ruin the lives of normal people.
Plot[edit]
The plot revolves around a conservative household that firmly believes in the Peer Babas and follows Peer Habib Ullah in every matter, whether business or personal. The daughter of the elder brother, Kulsoom, is preparing for her exams and goes to Mehar Nigar's house for tuition. Mehar Nigar is worried about her son Bilal, who has been living with his father since the age of twelve years. Mehar Nigar wants to bring back her son and remains worried about him. Due to her sadness about her son, Kulsoom decides to take a taweez from Peer Sahab as she has the same views about this as her household, but Mehar Nigar does not think the same way.[3]
