Storyline: Rayyan, a passionate young musician, becomes obsessed with Ruba, despite her being engaged to Murad. He pursues her relentlessly—crossing boundaries and ignoring her rejections—as he’s convinced they are meant to be. The film explores themes of obsession, toxicity, and “love” gone awry.
Reception: Critics largely panned *Chain Aye Na* for glorifying harassment and regressive behavior. Dawn Images criticized its normalization of violence against women and calls for “not taking no as an answer,” stating it “conditions men to never take no for an answer” :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}. Other reviews called it outdated, calling the scripting, acting, and production “shoddy” and “cringe-worthy”. The film failed at the box office and was deemed a commercial disaster.
