One user wrote, “#Barzakh is a cinematic masterpiece. Sure, the concept is abstract and complex, and you need to think hard before you can form a straight idea, but the world is meticulously created, and it makes you want to explore more. I loved Sanam’s narration and Fawad M. Khan’s acting.”

“The cinematography of Barzakh is beautiful,” wrote a third user. “Oh, the cinematography of the first episode of Barzakh must be studied. This is already crazy,” wrote another user.

One viewer wrote, “#Barzakh is so touchingly poetic. The first episode is very interesting and full of suspense. Looking at the previous works of @IllicitusProduc. I find it interesting that this is closer to #Churails than #Cake. However in the end, it is something completely new (sic).”

‘Barzakh’ also features excellent supporting cast including Iman Suleman, Khushal Khan, Faiza Gilani and Muhammad Shah.
