Plot[edit]

Dillagi is a romantic story of Mohid (Humayun Saeed) and Anmol (Mehwish Hayat). It is set in the narrow back streets of Sukkur in interior Sindh, where Anmol lives a simple life with her mother and younger sister Mishal Ansari. Before he died, Anmol's father had paid off a debt he owed to local moneylender Kifayat Ali using his home as security, but Anmol's mother has no proof of the debt repayment, so they are an easy mark for fraud. Kifayat Ali engages Mohid, who specializes in real-estate and a little ghundagardi on the side to evict Anmol's family. The clash between Mohid and Anmol is the crux of this story.
