Armaan (Urdu: ارمان) is a 2013 Pakistani romantic drama film directed by Anjum Shahzad. The film is a remake of the same name released in 1966, which starred Waheed Murad and Zeba. The film is produced by Tarang Housefull, Abdullah Kadwani and 7th Sky Entertainment. Film stars Fawad Afzal Khan, Aamina Sheikh, Vasay Chaudhry and Mahnoor Khan. Fawad Afzal Khan and Aamina Sheikh won Tarang Housefull Awards for Best On Screen Couple.
The film tells the story of a beautiful but underprivileged girl, Zarnaab, living in Murree with her widowed stepmother and half-sister, Zartaab. A young and flirtatious man, Armaan meets Zarnaab at a friend's Mayoon and is mesmerized by her. Zarnaab pranks him by switching places with a hijra. The encounter of Armaan flirting with the hijra is recorded on the video of the ceremony. An infuriated Armaan orders his manager, Danny, to find out the name and address of the girl who played the prank on him.
The following morning, Armaan's grandfather (and also his only guardian) informs Armaan about his late father's letter asking Armaan to marry his relative's daughter in Murree. Meanwhile, Danny finds out about Zarnaab. Reluctant at first, Armaan agrees to go to Murree when he is told that Zarnaab also lives there.
Not inclined to marry, Armaan informs Danny that they will switch roles in Murree. Armaan strolls off to explore Murree and looks for Zarnaab. Upon hearing the piano playing from a nearby school Armaan follows the sound and discovers that Zarnaab is the one playing it. Panic stricken, Zarnaab calls the security guard and the principal, Zarnaab's stepmother, also arrives. They kick Armaan out of the school premises.
