Wapsi – A Collection of Three Telefilms
Wapsi is a collection of three telefilms written by Umera Ahmed: Wapsi, Sauda, and Libas. Although each story stands independently with different characters and situations, all three share a central thematic connection that revolves around the idea of “return” — whether it is a return to faith, conscience, identity, or inner self.

The first telefilm, Wapsi, is adapted from the English novel Shrine by Yasir Shah. Despite minor flaws, the novel impressed the writer deeply and was selected for screen adaptation. The issues discussed in the story may not be entirely new, yet the method of presentation is fresh and compelling. Through this adaptation, readers are introduced to thought-provoking social and spiritual questions.
Sauda and Libas
Sauda surprises readers because it differs from the writer’s usual style and temperament. The narrative tone and treatment are distinct, making it difficult to recognize it as her script. However, the writing process proved both challenging and enjoyable.
Libas addresses a sensitive and complex subject. Its depth and seriousness become fully apparent only after reading it. The story explores delicate moral and social layers that require thoughtful reflection.
Central Theme – Return or Compromise?
All three telefilms are connected by a shared theme — Wapsi (Return). The writer invites readers to decide whether the essence of the book truly represents a “return” or rather a “compromise.” Is it a return of the soul, a return to values, or merely an adjustment with circumstances?
This collection challenges readers to reflect on personal transformation, moral accountability, and the journey back to one’s true self.
