Barzakh

Pakistan set a benchmark for their web series in terms of storytelling, production value, art, breaking norms and whatnot. The series is a bit slow which shouldn't be & in final episode needed some shots where the group of people also talking to the angels(their daughters). The story does not just talk about the Barzakh ( in between heaven & Earth ) only it talks about love, honour killing, separation, parenting, Lgbtq, fantasy, old rituals, family relations, feelings and whatnot. Vfx is also good and the execution of scenes is also good in an artistic way a bit feel of live theatre. But sadly the Pakistani awaam is demanding to ban the show, why? Just because it portrays the Gay character. I mean seriously? I mean Pakistan isn't an educated country but it is a peak of uneducated things seriously, on the other hand, they watch adult films, the Game of Thrones, Money Heist, Mirzapur, Sacred Games and every other popular show or film across the world but they can't digest the gay character who isn't even doing any intimate scene in the whole series. They can't fight for army rule, they can't fight for rapes/molestation, they can't fight for berozgaari but they can fight for banning a show who just portrayed the gay character, it's a joke in itself. Whether you accept it or not things exist in this world and they have been in Pakistan too since the beginning. So it's not what you like or whatnot it exists in this world that's why it's here. Grow up get yourself some education and be less rigid and religious fanatic.

Asim Abbasi has created a masterpiece from the story, cinematography, performances, music. It is absolutely stunning and what a shame that hateful bigots have forced producers to take it down from YouTube Pak. How can there be progress when bigots dictate how people make art. Please support this project. It's a fascinating story of this world intersecting with another world and the burdens that we bear in life. You can't miss a single scene as every single frame has a deeper meaning. It is the best drama I have seen come out of Pakistan but the bigots prefer to watch sagas where women are getting beaten up. I wish the producers hadn't given into hate. Please watch it and support independent art like this. I hope it gets picked up by Netflix.

"Barazakh" is truly a masterpiece of art. This drama encapsulates mystical realism in a way that leaves you with goosebumps at every turn. The storyline is captivating, drawing you into a world that feels both otherworldly and intensely real. I've never seen anything like it.

The acting is nothing short of phenomenal. Each actor brings depth and nuance to their character, making the story come alive in an unforgettable manner. You can feel the emotions, struggles, and triumphs as if they are your own.

The cinematography is out of this world. Each scene is crafted with such precision and beauty that it feels like a visual feast. The stunning visuals enhance the mystical elements, creating a dreamlike atmosphere that is both haunting and mesmerizing.

"Barazakh" is a beautiful masterpiece by Asim. Well done!

I loved the story outline and everything about this series except the fact that it inputs an overdoes of poetic elements that made it an overdone poetry-nut fart.

Especially the stone-bearing deads with their cliche( it became cliche due to the absence of minimalism) imposing character arc. Otherwise, the acting, cinematography, catchy dialogue, gripping pacing, editing, color, BGM - everything was top-notch. The way it unfolds the story seemed a bit predictable, however, it was so beautifully crafted that it didn't matter. The dining scene was remarkable! I could feel the tension in my bones. The homoromantic visualisation deserves claps as it showed 'realistic' representation of queer life in oppressed countries. What an international piece of work! Highly recommended.

Treat to watch such a masterpiece. "Barzakh" is a tour de force that stands out in the realm of Pakistani web series. With its stellar cast, particularly the magnetic pairing of Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed, it offers a compelling narrative wrapped in mystery and enhanced by breathtaking visuals. The series is a testament to the creative potential of Pakistani filmmakers and sets a high standard for future productions. As each episode unfolds, "Barzakh" keeps its audience on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting the next installment in this captivating journey through the realms of the unknown.
