The horror-comedy gave us new moments to laugh about this week as highlighted in the week’s review. With the long-awaited character, Jazim the suitor, everyone stands in the court (created through special effects) torturing human species and revealing the power dynamics in his race, the Jinn.
On the other hand, we have our male lead figuring out riddles scattered by his father left and right as he ends up calling his blogger friend Nadia to decipher the cryptic message.
Next comes a sequence with Ali running around the house looking for Khushi who has bewitched him not with magic but clear as the day earnest interest towards him that he acknowledges.
In addition the drama also shows an energetic dynamic of Nadia and her journalist mother, played by the talented Nadia Afghan, rooting for her to get married to Ali.
The episode unfolds to show Zara, Ali’s sister-in-law, on the other side displaying playful chemistry as she plays ludo with her husband Asad. The scene certainly presents a relateable moment to the audience.
Cutting to the damsel in distress, Khushi remains bound, her punishment for falling in love with a human — and though Azar shapeshifts as Khushi, Ali is able to identify that the situation has become muddled. With a clear and engaging storyline, the drama also throws in little comedic bits such as Chamki taking a nap after 400 days of no rest. Nevertheless, odds are in the couple’s favor as the metaphysical beings experience a delay in marriage.
2. Pamaal
At second place we have Pamaal which has created a stir on social media sparking debate. As fans wait each week for the story to unfold, they stand true to their commitment and offer comments and criticism about Malika and Raza’s character.

The narcissistic husband Raza with his highly unpredictable mood is a reality, many women face in every day life. For instance, in an interview, the writer explained how husbands remain split between loving and controlling their wives and it is a character put together by keeping the typical 90’s husband in mind. Moreover, according to the writer, this is something a modern-day woman would never comply with and the multiple comments and reaction of Pamaal fan base confirms that thought.
1. Jama Taqseem
Our top pick this week is Jama Taqseem. Keeping the audience hooked, HUM TV’s Jama Taqseem takes the lead yet again with its well-directed and well-written script unfolding the events in a natural order that invites important questions regarding the years of family traditions that seem outdated and ill-fit in the mechanics of modern family systems.
This week the important question posed in a review was: ‘Is Qais being fair to Laila as he puts her in a tough spot by making her parents leave so soon?’ A very noticeable gap causing problems between the adored couple is the lack of communication. Throughout this week’s episodes, the couple goes back and forth over the issue on how the other one should have treated their respective parents.
The drama had its lighthearted moments that show even in times of struggle, there are characters that come to shine in the moment with the softness of the heart which is the mother-in-law on both cases.
Next, the episode unfolds with toxic and rude remarks exchanged between the two sides creating tension. These conversations are addressing the age-old beliefs and traditions upheld by the older generations. However, with Zubia being a protective layer against toxic behaviors challenging old customs, to Laila’s father trying to keep the peace we see the significance of ‘good’ parenting.
Lastly, we see an important message in the form of Zeeshan’s character who sees the world with his tinted lens, a reflection of his inner twisted self.
