Introduction
TV play about everyday life of army officers at Pakistan Military Academy.
Sunehrey Din literal English translation: Golden Days.
The story revolved around the lives of young cadets of Pakistani Military Academy in Kakul. The seniors imposed tough restrictions on the juniors in order to prepare them for enduring challenges. But the juniors got to take revenge when they turned into seniors for one night before their promotion.

After several attempts of persuading his mother, who is reluctant to send him to Pakistan Millitary Academy (PMA) in Kakul, along with the help of his grandfather, he joins PMA. At the same time there is the arrival of their new neighbours just across their house.
