"Case No.9 is a breakthrough Pakistani drama."
Case No.9 has captured significant attention on Pakistani television for its bold storytelling and how it addresses rape.
The drama follows the lives of women navigating personal and legal struggles, highlighting the stories of survivors and their pursuit of justice.
The latest episodes of Case No.9 addressed rape cases with an intensity and clarity that many viewers called unprecedented on television.
Beenish, played by Amina Shaikh, delivered a standout performance as a lawyer explaining that a victim’s past cannot be questioned in court.
A social media user commented: “This episode made it clear that whether a woman is divorced or a virgin does not matter.”
Her courtroom arguments contrasted sharply with Bukhari, portrayed by Noor-ul-Hasan, as facts clashed with myths, highlighting stereotypes and societal misconceptions.
Many viewers praised the episode for citing hard statistics about sexual abuse in Pakistan, noting that eight children are assaulted every day.
One fan wrote: “Women are harassed daily, regardless of clothing or behaviour, and this drama addressed those realities head-on.”
The daydream courtroom sequence featuring Sehar, played by Saba Qamar, also received praise as she confronted her rapist, displaying mental strength and courage.
A viewer shared: “Seeing Sehar face her attacker even in a dream sequence showed empowerment and the psychological journey of survivors.”
Episode 18 focused on Kiran, played by Rushna Khan, who finally left her husband Kamran after uncovering his inappropriate behaviour.
One fan commented: “Kiran taking her baby and leaving showed real courage. I hope this drama encourages other Pakistani women to set boundaries and demand respect.”
Audiences also highlighted the depiction of an older rape survivor who contacted Sehar after gaining courage, showcasing solidarity among women.
A social media user wrote: “Women supporting each other can create meaningful change in such situations.”
Public feedback repeatedly noted the language used in the show, praising Sehar for calling herself a survivor rather than a victim, which reinforced hope and resilience.
A fan wrote: “Sehar survived, and her declaration inspires hope.
“The drama showed that survivors can reclaim power and dignity.”
Many viewers expressed that Case No.9 connects different women’s narratives, from wives to lawyers to survivors, portraying collective empowerment.
Audiences are praising it as a groundbreaking drama that addresses sexual violence responsibly and educationally.
