Quaid-e-Azam Zindabad

Set in contemporary Karachi and its surrounding urban areas, the film mirrors current social and political tensions. It weaves in themes of currency symbolism, public protests, and the struggle between law enforcement and corruption. The pace and locations reflect a modern-day Pakistani metropolis rather than a historical era.

The story unfolds primarily in Karachi, a bustling urban center where police stations, political offices, and busy streets form the backdrop. Clifton Beach serves as a dramatic finale setting, contrasting the city’s everyday chaos with a high-stakes showdown. Mazar-e-Quaid appears as a symbolic site for public action and national sentiment within the narrative.

⚖️ Corruption

The movie exposes how money, power, and influence corrupt both police work and politics. It shows bribes permeating the system, manipulating decisions and harming ordinary people. The narrative uses Gulab’s initial moral decay as a lens to critique systemic rot and the ease with which integrity can be compromised.

🔄 Redemption

Gulab undergoes a dramatic personal transformation, choosing to return ill-gotten gains and publicly confront misuse of power. His attempt at reform and accountability contrasts with his earlier corruption, suggesting that change is possible even within a flawed system. The arc culminates in a self-sacrificial move toward genuine justice.

🗳️ Public Justice

Protests and public sentiment drive the narrative against the removal of Jinnah’s image from currency and against the symbol of privilege embodied by Rana’s private lion. The film ties citizen action, media, and law enforcement to a broader demand for accountability. It frames the struggle as a collective fight for dignity, law, and fair treatment under the state.
