Basic Plot[]
This is the story of 8 girls from different backgrounds and walks of life who abandon routine female duties to achieve something greater than themselves and the expectations of their families by responding to their country's call to duty. These 8 girls, though all extremely competent both academically (all having being educated to Masters Level) and socially, find that there is more to life than what the world thinks of women to be. Taking it upon themselves to go through all the trials and tribulations that constitute the forging of an army officer, we see how they are transformed from soft rose-petal-like shy timid girls to women of steel 'Sinf-e-Aahan' as the name suggests by going through the same rigours and furnaces as their male counterparts in order to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with men in the service of their nation.

Reception[]
Like serveral predecessors of its kind produced by the ISPR of the Pakistan Army, it upholds its honourable position by projecting the passion, the dignity, the professional attitude and the dedication to service. Not only that, but it also shows the respect and honour granted to overseas officers from other countries given by the Pakistan Army, in all, projecting the fact that not only is the Pakistan Army thoroughly professional in service to the nation, but one of the most caring and hospitable institutions of the world. This is clearly evident in the way that a Sri Lankan Lady Cadet is heartily welcomed and treated as one of their own, a role that was very readily accepted not only by the Sri Lankan actress who played it, but also the willingness of the Sri Lankan nation to allow her to untertake such an interesting and demanding assignment. It also shows the extent of strong and friendly brotherly relations Pakistan shares with Sri Lanka.
