Abstract: Syed Noor’s 1997 Punjabi-language Pakistani film Laal Rang (The Red Color) stands as a seminal work in the canon of rural social dramas. Unlike the idealized portrayals of village life common in Lollywood of the 1990s, Laal Rang offers a stark, brutalist depiction of feudal oppression, unrequited love, and the cyclical nature of honor-based violence. This paper argues that the color red in the film operates on three symbolic levels: as a signifier of sexual desire, as a marker of violent bloodshed, and as a metaphor for the economic exploitation intrinsic to the jagirdari (feudal) system. Through an analysis of narrative structure, character archetypes, and visual motifs, this paper will demonstrate how Laal Rang functions as a socio-political critique disguised as a romantic tragedy.
