You can trust the Marvel Cinematic Universe to keep delivering hits one after another and with Ms. Marvel, its latest offering, the MCU has done it, yet again! Representation is incredibly important, especially when it is treated right, and Ms. Marvel hits it out of the park with its Pakistani-American Muslim teen superhero, who is, honestly, so relatable.
With a cast of fantastic South Asian actors and those of South Asian origin, including Iman Vellani, Zenobia Shroff, Mohan Kapoor, Samina Ahmad, Nimra Bucha, Mehwish Hayat, Rish Shah, Farhan Akhtar, AND Fawad Khan, the show is an absolute treat to watch. Its treatment of sensitive issues such as the Partition of 1947 and the positive portrayal of the everyday lives of Muslim families, has deservedly garnered praise.
Yet another aspect of Ms. Marvel that is absolutely wonderful, is the music selection that features an array of South Asian artists and tunes that are either extremely catchy or pleasantly familiar. Ergo, here's practically every desi song (or songs with desi representation) that has been featured on the show:
