Synopsis


The story is about Ali (Rahat Kazmi) who is expelled from the architecture department for not following the traditional architecture designs. His friend Raheel Obiad joined a popular architecture firm and is achieving traditional success. Then he meets Mehreen (Sahira), a newspaper reporter, and has a hard time with Babar Kamal (Shafi), a businessman. Shazia (Badar), a famous actress, asks Raheel (Usman) to become friends with her daughter Salma (Saba) who lives in a girls hostel.
Just like in The Fountainhead; Teesra Kinara explores the themes of Individualism vs. Collectivism under the pretext of primarily architecture as well as journalism.
Ali the protagonist is a brilliant individual who does not feel he has to earn his degree although the Dean offers him to come back after 1 year after he is expelled. He creates designs that do not conform to traditional designs and it does not sit well with experienced professionals and professors. He struggles to get work even after proving himself to be brilliant in the market.
Raheel Obaid (Usman Peerzada) on the other hand enjoys the benefits of collectivism. He gets the first position in the university; gets hired immediately by a famous firm and is well-liked and respected in his community.
Meehreen is the daughter of a famous businessman (owner of the firm that employs Raheel Obaid) and is a critic too. She is unhappy in her profession, and routine and is fed up with reviewing similar projects. She is approached by multiple men in her life but she is only interested in Ali. In her own way, she believes in individualism but she is bound by her Newspaper agency named (Jazbat).
Self-awareness is also explored as In Teesra Kinara characters are surprisingly self-aware of their abilities, shortcomings, and public perceptions.
