BARZAKH | EPISODE 3 | FAWAD KHAN, SANAM SAEED, SALMAN SHAHID 

Maturity is when you can’t understand in this story but you are still watching because you want to prove yourself that you are very intelligent and you know what is going on in this story and you are so smart 😂😂

This is a mythological drama. It’s pure fiction based on realistic themes, comparable to works of Shakespeare. The son is fighting his gay desires. LGBTQ community exists in Pakistan whether you want to admit it or not. Premarital sex exists in Pakistan whether you want to admit it or not. Pretending it doesn’t exist won’t make it go away. Islam is nowhere mentioned here. Yes, it’s a Pakistani audience where majority are Muslim. But these characters are all mythical and fictional creatures. No, it’s not a family drama and no, it’s not meant for children to watch. Simple as that. It’s targeted towards an adult artistic audience who understand mythical literature and abstract metaphors. Most people in Pakistan don’t fall in that audience unfortunately they would rather watch the stereotypical second wife or saas bahu bullshit. Stay within your bubble and don’t watch this drama if you’re going to take it literally or personally. People in Pakistan would rather live their double life, be gay in secret and have a wife for the world to see with children. This is shining light on taboo subjects we don’t dare to ever utter.

dude loved her so much but he still plowed 2 other women after her and apparently is now crazy about her again tf

Sherezaad is the daughter of Mahtaab and Jafar, that much is proven. However, she was born in the 'other' world, not the one in which Jafar lives. Mahtab returned her after 30 years, which is why Jafar is almost her father's age. The Shaman was the one who took her in and gave her to Jafar. Also, the stones the souls are carrying on the back get chipped when they do a good deed. For instance, the girl and the boy at the restaurant were not talking to each other. Jaffar's wives, unconsciously, nudged them to talk to each other; that's why the rock chipped. So, maybe, if they do enough good deeds, their stones will be completely gone, and they will pass on to the other world. Also, this is The Land of Nowhere. Meaning, nothing normal happens here. It's not Pakistan, Islam, and as far as I believe, the characters aren't even Muslim. That said, I am not enjoying Saifullah's storyline. Asim Abbas always believes that he has a quota to fill. He did that in Churails as well. Showing these characters exist isn't bad. They do. But giving them a love story is completely wrong, no matter which angle you look at it. Yes, we see them in international shows, but they're not catered toward the Pakistani audience. This was, and Asim should've been careful.

What I don't understand about people in the comment section is this obsession with Netflix. Why should Netflix pick up "Barzakh" when its already on an OTT platform called "Zee5" which had 48.11 million paid users and is available in 190+ countries. It's already on an OTT why do you want it to go on another OTT? Free episodes on RU-vid are hurting this much so you wanna watch by paying subscription fees.

sheheryar saying “Are you always this high? Believe me hum darakht nahin hain” cracked me up. The sarcasm. hahahah

Aaqa is not an innocent. He lost his first love but he snatched the lands of many poor villagers to construct his own empire in the Village.

Jo quran ma ha aur Jo hazrat Muhammad SAW na frmaya wohe shch ha baki sub jot ha who is agee with me

It's a drama based on surreality. A fantasy maybe. It is vague. I am watching it out of curiosity because the concept is new and intriguing. Many things in this drama don't have any connection with real life except maybe the pain of losing loved ones.

This is for literature students, they will enjoy it. Loving to see salman shahid holding the whole plot on his shoulders. Giving king Lear vibes.

A brilliant show, mythology and storytelling at its best. A world-class production. Way ahead of its time for a country like PAKISTAN, where all these artists must be celebrated and not banned.

Wake up folks. It's just a drama just watch it and get entertained. If you don't like don't watch then.

Atlast a drama on guilt , grief and unfulfilled desires

This is so weird but intriguing at the same time.. I don't want to see it I want to see it lol

"Every night the sun sacrifices to let the moon shine" What a beautiful line

The lost daughters although it is said that they are called by mountains but the implicit meanings of this bulawa is actually that they committed suicide, because of all the injustice they faced. And if we see story in this way, it becomes clear that Mahtab committed suicide because she was carrying the child of dada out of wedlock and society did not accept that.

Hunza valley is highlight of the series - beautiful valley of Pakistan. My homeland ✌️

People who only can digest stories about Saas ki chalaki , dusari Aurat se mohabbat , rona dhoona typical and boring stuff ,or Husband ki bewafai ... All are going hysterical. 😂

I am in awe of M. Fawad's acting (The guy playing Saifullah). Portraying emotions like guilt, grief and shame all at the same time is not easy specially when your character have very less dialogue but he has done mind blowing job.

Barzakh ... Soul commited sucide is free from one world but not able to go to real world or after world Soul is burdened it is heavy to fly Soul is hungry People who are in this world but very greedy unsatisfied are physically here but soul is nowhere Alive person soul is heavy not letting him to sleep or find peace... Barzakh is a state of mind for living person And for heavy soul who taste death before its time is a place to decrease his heaviness to become light to fly... A masterpiece very well executed

this is netflix content....such a unique story ...loving this series

Fact: this drama can't be watched at 2× speed

Women who died naturally/not by suicide are having a stone at their back, wearing pink clothes and roaming in the hotel. While women who committed suicide are in burzakh, wrapped completely in red clothes.

I dont get it why everyone is complaining about the gay character? its just a character no one is glamorising it, or promoting it, they’re just showing his existence? how is it so wrong? does islam deny the existence of gay people? no? the guy in barzakh isnt even engaging in homosexual acts? its just a part of his existence is he supposed to stop existing?

Can’t wait for this upcoming episode…even a 3 days waiting seems like a long time 😄….such a beautiful art work, phenomenal sets, loving each and every bit of this masterpiece 🤩

Came for Fawad and Sanam , stayed for everything about this series ... ❤ splendid

Ye dunia ka pehla drama ho ga jis k nichy itna lamby lamby comment hn or wo b drama k upr 😂 wrna tu jo b drama open kro nichy comment drama ki story pr kam hoty thy or islam ki baten deen ki baten ho rhi hoti thn ....Aj tu comment pard ky hassi nhi rok rhi ... Story smj aye ya na aye lakin log ye drama skip kr kr k b dekhen gy k akhir is ma aisa ha kya

“Are you always this high?” 😭😂

God...its dark n to lighten my mood.. i think Aqa only tortured her n never let her eat mangoes in her life so in afterlife she got infinite no of mangoes probably as a reward for spending her life with someone like aqa

I have just finished watching 2nd episode. And as usual i have read some comments. The only thing that is wrong with this insanely genius piece of art, is that a majority of the Pakistani audience wasn’t ready for it yet! I can say this for a fact that we are a progressing country since 77 years.

Imagination and creativity at its peak… this story is complex because it is out of the ordinary and very unique… love the imaginative style… you poked the child in me who once was very imaginative but with time hid inside me👏👏👏👏👏👏

This drama is full of suspense, you can't guess what is going to happen next......it's amazing ❤❤❤

What rubbish 🤮you could also show the drama without all these "ghanda" scenes people considering it as a pure art should be ashamed of themselves and for their thoughts. The thing which is wrong is wrong it could not be justified by anything

It has come to pass these days that Art is a re-depiction of humdrum realities. And most people find recognition and comfort in this - for, they are not then required to invoke their sense of imagination (or lack of it). That Art is truly a re-creation of an artist's outlook of life, his/her emotional assessment of the world and existence, his/her agonies and ecstacies, crests and peaks, is something which is alien to the majority of people in this world. Pity !! The narrative, the picturisation and presentation in this serial is indeed top - notch. Play of characters is sublime. And performance? Too good. No words, really. Hats off !!

every episode of this show takes me out of this world within my own imagination. It's so grand how the storyline is playing with people's imagination. It literally takes me a few minutes to come back to reality after watching each episode. I get so lost and out of words and just sit there thinking. Mindboggling!!!

Mny is drama sa zada comment section gour sa prh rhy😂

I am flabbergasted by the narration, cinematography, conviction of characters. They have redefined the art of story telling. I am glued to the story, belived in their ghosts and fairies, crying for mehtab and sad for jafar's loss of mehtab yet angry on him for not being a good husband nd a father to his sons . Sanam saed, fawad khan, kushal and rest are spectacular. I am tranaported to the uninhibited world of Shakespeare.. thanks for creating this magical world. I am on board till the last episode ❤❤

This is not masterpiece its just fantasy or fairytale. Realism not existed. Male to male like qum e loot Allah may protect us this type of fitna ameen

I think these characters are not shown as Muslims , so criticism based on zina , lgbtq is baseless. Although romanticising such things in any other religion is also not apt. We can watch this show just for entertainment purpose like we watch other shows that's it. It shouldn't be taken as inspiration , people are concerned for kids watching this show then please it's duty of parents to teach fiqh / ruling of Islam.

Connections I was able to make from this episode: As seen in the last episode Jaffer was fighting with his first wife saying “kamyabi hai uskay pas bulandi hai - tumaray aam say pariron say kahi zada” which justifies why she was in the bath tub eating mangoes. Numberdar’s wife has also lost her daughter and her husband knows about it too - i believe he was involved in her demise to chaman. The people who gathered at the nunberdars wife’s house are planning to meet with their daughters when Jaffer goes to unite with Mahtab. Jaffer wanted to go to that meeting as well but saifullah stops him - not sure why and his suitcase carries “mehtabs duppata”. Also, all the souls with stones are stuck in this world and their rocks will break off if they commit good deeds - as shown in this episode where the wives help the couple and a piece of the rock breaks off. The tub scene was painted in the last episode by the strange lady and it was shown in the episode - the lady paints guilt. In the end, the girl Leena (who is fawad khan’s wife she enters Mehtab Mahal and sits with her mother in law. Notice all three ladies have white fingers indicating they were murdered (lack of oxygen flow in the body)

Sanam’s dialogue delivery and her acting has proven again that she’s one of a legend

It’s a fiction why everyone is so intimidated writer tried his best to imitate JK Rowling,Stephen King, George Martin …😋 Aese dekho jese games of thrones dekhte thy 😂 ab dekhna b hai aur tauba tauba bhi karni hai

This drama is such a masterpiece ngl. Finally Pakistani actors are making dramas other than saas bahu topics

So invested in this series, the story, the cinematography, the art direction+locations+performances everything is on point can't wait for upcoming episodes 🎉

This drama may be different but we must never forget our religion and its boundaries. Since when nudity and lgbtq become halal? These elements were not necessary for the so called 'international audience' & 'legacy of cinematography'. Khushal khan is hungry for fame thats why he did such lowly scene. We shall discourage the normalization propaganda. If not then the time is not far away when our child will come to us saying ammi I'm gay astaghirullah are you ready for this??

Hollywood-level production and direction. What a wonderful story .Will not appeal to those who love watching mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fights .Such season-ups will be seen in Hollywood This season should have been on Netflix

In the last episode, while filling the glass of water, it was overflown and saifullah didn't realize until aaqa called, he seems to forget when filling anything with water and and that is obvious because he is indulged in his thoughts. In this episode, the tub was again overflown with water and he didn't realize it until aaqa called him. I wanna get myself surprised if this has some significance later in the show.

This series is for high IQ people only. Our society should stick too saas bahu drama

I know everyone is talking about sanam saeed and fawad khan but damn the guy who played the elder son is phenomenal. He is such a brilliant actor.

When everyone sleep in this palace then spirits do party 😂😂

اور جو لوگ اس بات کو پسند کرتے ہیں کہ مومنوں میں بے حیائی یعنی تہمت بدکاری کی خبر پھیلے ان کو دنیا اور آخرت میں دکھ دینے والا عذاب ہوگا۔ اور خدا جانتا ہے اور تم نہیں جانتے ( سوره النور ، آیت (19)

The artist that paints actually is painting the past and future events

Guys, its an indian production house, but the set is in Pakistan - Gilgilt, Hunza side. Nevertheless, both countries did a fine job.

Beautiful drama, I think people who want to boycott it. they are uneducated and this drama is way far from their small mind

gulab jamun party🤣🤣 now I craving this midnight

Another great episode from this gem! This is literally gonna be one of my most favourite shows of all time. The cinematography is insane in this show. The script is so well written and executed that I'm at loss of words. Fawad & Sanam are marvelous in their roles. Saifullah's story line is quite interesting as well. Kudos to the whole cast and crew for making this magnificent show. Looking forward to the next episode.

56:13 this shot... the reflections are three separate shots put together. The middle reflection gives the bearly notable head shake and has a slight knowing smile. This was unnecessary for most of the audience... but it was still done. Respect for the art. 😮

It's one of the masterpiece...first the writer,then director...n the actors who bought the whole thing live.. outstanding.

Definitely an abstract story that is not easiest to grasp. In saying that the visuals and intrigue value glues you to the screen. I have not seen such gorgeous cinematography by Pakistani crew before - absolutely breath taking. It's like moving art.

It is next level you guys have done 👏👏 bravoo to the whole time. Fully intrigued and waiting for next episode

Brilliant! I still can't believe this is a Pakistani show (script, director, almost all the actors, one producer, music, etc.), understanding that it is a project of Zee Zindagi.

Ooo my goddd what a thrill!!!! I never expected such like this in barzakh. I really enjoy typical romantic Pakistani drama. Bt I also like this types. And this is justtt beyond description. Just waiting for the 3rd epiiii

Kis kis ko ye story samj nahi hata lekin pir bhi seasons 3 tak haya majbori me 😅😅

Read carefully please! This series isn't promoting homosexuality , infact Address the true scenario of those ppl who define themselves that they are homosexual. By birth no one is homosexual. Its not in our religion islam , this thing not existed by nature.It depicts that saifullah has no childhood, only he saw pathetic miseries and traumas in his life, he hasn't evolved him self as a male or female or simple as a person, obviously he has a baggage of past that make his character like this, there is dialogue with aqa where aaqa said u couldn't find ur true love so he didn't know abt love. Neither did he do any sin with male. Drama tells us the consequences of a broken family that turned him into a person that doesn't know even by himself who he is ? Plus he did crime by killing her mother and his hands has proof.so he not either have hormonal feelings towards man and female both, he is full of pandora box with shattered soul ,on right time if counseling was done by both of his parents he wouldn't even 1% be turned like that; he would know that its wrong to even think like this. In episode 3 its clearly sees that Saifullah denied the kiss of that italian guy and stood up and surrounded himself again in the loop of his past burden or baggage he is just misguided soul nothing else not homosexual yes italian guy may be (he is not muslim) but saifullah just not know the right path ,he is not confident like his sis sherzad or brother (fawad) he is prison of his own crime rest both aren't show this way because they never committed any crime. Pls like if anyone understands my point of view

Itne english kis liye ? sara flow sara concentration khraab kr deti hai kahani ka ,huh na Indians na Pakistani angrejo se ajad ho gye pr angregi se hona he nhi chahte 😢

What was I thinking when I thought I could binge watch this. 😁 This needs you to pause after every episode and let yourself be with it before you go for the next one.

I'm from India and I'm just loving this masterpiece Pak has created but the irony is some pakistani who were appreciating this masterpiece in the 1st episode and saying it can give tough competition to series on Netflix. Are only now criticizing it lol why? Cos it shows a guy who loves other guys. This show didn't even show any vulgarity and stuff . Still... 😆

Last m 3 gulam jamun kitti party was lovely 😂😂

Humaare Buzurg, Humaare Mehboob, Haraamzaade sab ke sab.

Unique concept, superb direction, brilliant actors . Even I can’t believe this is pakistani drama . It’s next level drama very interesting ❤❤❤❤❤

The concept of this drama is based on imagination and art. Whereas if you look up to the other aspects of this drama such as effects Masterclass 👏

Its an art piece and not the commercial one. Curiosity does nt die while watching this, but patience is needed

The drama Barzukh presents a compelling storyline with impressive acting and production. However, it has sparked controversy due to its depiction of themes and scenes that are often considered taboo in Pakistani and Muslim society. These include scenes involving parental intimacy, children's awareness of their surroundings, LGBTQ themes, and alcohol consumption. These elements have made some viewers uncomfortable and led to disapproval. Nevertheless, some argue that the inclusion of such themes is crucial for sparking important conversations and debates within society. The Quran mentions various evils, and by addressing these issues openly, the drama encourages viewers to confront and understand them rather than ignore their existence. This bold approach may be necessary to reflect the complexities of contemporary society and foster a more nuanced understanding. Overall, "Berzukh" tackles a significant and beautiful topic about the afterlife, where souls await with the burdens they carried in life. This narrative captures the essence of accountability and the moral struggles faced by individuals, making it a much-needed discussion in today's context. This drama serves as a mirror to societal issues, blending good and evil, and challenging viewers to develop a more informed perspective on these sensitive topics.

It's not pure art it's sure fart full LGBTQ promotion 😂

All those praising this series... haven't you read the Qur'an? And what happened to qaum e lut? What Allah SWT has forbidden that has to be forbidden! No other questions asked .. simple.. The series openly showcasing gay relationship and any one who's praising such things That means you're supporting such ppl and activities.. and those are supporting which Allah SWT prohibited them you are amongst them.. Hazarat luts wife was not involved in the activity itself but she supported the ppl involved... So she was also drowned in the punishment... Hope you get some guidance... Ameen

muhammad fawad you just nailed it mannnnnnnnnnnn the anxiety he is dealing with mind blowing actor yrrrrrrr

It's like the other side of the realm...people criticizing this will go see Hollywood movies and praise them ...but not content made in Asia ....such hypocrites

I honestly was not expecting to be enjoying it this much! Thankyou for this masterpiece. Pakistani media is next level.❤

Omg! It’s mind blowing!!!!! It’s beyond the level of seeing David Cameron’s movies.Its par excellence and tells us the truth that we belong to both worlds.

Acting of Salman Shahid's on spot ❤

This series is like Jalebi; you won’t understand its shape and structure, but you’ll enjoy having it. Similarly, you’re finding it hard to understand what this drama is actually about, but you’re enjoying it because of how technically well-made it is.

The aesthetics are just out of the world, lots of love and appreciation from India ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have never waited for days impatiently like this before #barzakh. Si much invested to this masterpiece ❤❤

This drama reminds me of "Dark" series from Netflix. Love it truly a masterpiece ❤

This is going to be an 'award winning Series'

Zgh and now Barzakh ❤ time flies...

What a writing !!! beyond imagination , Seen such greatest stuff after long time ...

@netflix kindly check the story and instead of thinking that it's Pakistani content take in on your website for more people to watch and get entertained by this 'not ever seen kinda story before'..amazingly casted and produced...🎉

Subtle 'normalization' of everything vile (suicide, murder, alcohol, lgbt as much as inapropriate language) is how u cultivate the the thoughts in masses :The absolutley forbidden? ...maybe its not that bad...i mean...[untill a person cannot tell the right from wrong] May Allah SWT protect us. AMEEN

Also shame on such actors for performing such scenes even they know that the are muslims and all the amount they are earning by performing such scenes is haram so reconsider your decision

Hats of to the makers! More such stories should be created in Pakistan 🇵🇰

One advice for the viewers, avoid the paragraph guy. It's all right not to understand it all at once as it has many layers to unfold over time but the true happiness of mystery is to solve it yourself no matter how slow.

Ok, so nobody is talking about the outstanding performance by Salman Shahid. He should be commended for portraying the role with such conviction. He's totally in the character! Amazing 👏

I must say I’ve never saw this kind of series by Pakistan ❤

Pakistan as a Muslim country now promoting gay #lgbtq in series shows how near are we ro qayamah.

We didn’t know we lacked this series istg it’s so good I’m obsessed

What a fascinating way to highlight the issues present in society through the supernatural and fantasy. Such a great of story telling without being preachy. If it was on tv it would show a women being beaten for 10 episodes and a girl being married off living an unhappy life for 25 episodes to have the writer have her say at the end that she wants to be free. Here 3 episodes in we have gotten these messages and more.

No comments fm my side..."I'm just watching & hooked"

Asim Abbasi har episode ke hamare understanding wale para pad ke haste honge. . Itne dhyaam se dekhna pad raha hai every episode jaise exam dena ho iska.

Who is here only for Sanam And Fawad????
