The girl wanted to tell him that flowers and leaves were more real then gold, for they withered away and died. And only things that die are real. She wanted to tell him that there was no point in conquering the world when their destiny would forever be tied to these lands. She wanted to say so much, but it was only he who spoke. And she listened for fear that she would never hear his voice again.

i don’t think any Indian or Pakistani show has ever been able to achieve even half the aesthetic appeal and cinematographic brilliance as that of Barzakh- the storytelling, the metaphors, the visuals, all are just so brilliantly written and shot that every scene is a visual treat for the viewers.

tumhey hai pata, mainey pehli baar jo dekha tumhey, mujhey yeh laga, chahun bhi toh kaisey pas sakunga tumhey

tumhey jo mila, mainey jaana mei bhi zinda hun, suno

bina boley jo nazar keh jaaye, hauley hauley dil ko dil sey milaye, jaan-e-jaana, mujhey behkana

aur dil pey, lehraayi, aanchal ki chaaon si

hai chaand mei bhi daagh par, na tujh pey ek bhi

kisi zubaan mei bhi woh lafz hi nahi ke jinmey tum ho kya tumhey bata sakun

khud pe haq mera, terey hawaley kardiya

jaaney yeh kya hua/jaaney yeh kya hua/khwab ho tum ya koi haqeeqat/tere hawale/main agar kahoon/tere hawale

An exceptionally tender, nuanced and raw depiction of the idiosyncratic dynamics of a dysfunctional Pakistani family and its rich, complex emotionally detached female characters with the wounds of the past gnawing at them, Cake (2018) by Asim Abbasi manages to elevate a simple, granular family drama into a buried hatchet of secrets with layered social commentary hidden beneath it.

"kya aap thaq jaatey hai? haalan ke aapne na toh jismani mushakkat ki hoti hai aur na hee zehni. phir bhi zindagi bekaar lagti hai aur apna wajood, apna wajood bojh lagta hai.

zindagi mein aane wali har museebat par mai socha karti thee ke shayad ye aakhri museebat ho aur issey badi museebat mujh par nahi aa sakti. lekin woh saab theek nahi tha. jitni zillat aaj maine mehsoos kee hai, doobara kabhi nahi kar paongi.

main sochti hoon, Allah talah ne humari zindagi itni mushkil kyon banadi hai. main baar baar yahi sochti hoon, yahi poochti rehti hoon, lekin jawab kahi se nahi milta"

Barzakh Review: Love, Loss, Life, and the Afterlife: A Story of Eternal Connections

BARZAKH (बरज़ख) म्हणजे अशी जागा जिथे जीवन व मृत्यू वेगवगळे होतात आणि तिथूनच जोडलेले असतात.  हि गोष्ट आहे एका महत्वाकांक्षी ��ाणसाची ज्याने प्रेम समजून घेतल नाही, ना कधी स्वत: पूर्णत: प्रेम करु शकला. त्याच्या या कमतरतेमुळे इतरांची आयुष्ये कशी घडत गेली याची ही गोष्ट. मग यात नवीन अस काय आहे? हे सगळ बदलण्याची संधी! अशी जागा, वेळ आणि मानवी कल्पनेपलीकडील जग! आपल्या प्रत्येकाच्या सुप्त इच्छांच…

BARZAKH | EPISODE 1 | FAWAD KHAN, SANAM SAEED, SALMAN SHAHID

I knew I was raised right when even as a child watching diyar e dil I was rooting for sanam saeed's character even though everyone hated her. Maybe it was bc of my extreme bias towards sanam since I used to adore her (still do) so much but in my eyes she could do no wrong. I only rewatched the drama two times so I don't remember much except for a few bits but there was one scene I could never forget bc just how intense it was. The moment when the ml barges into the fl house and literally dragged her to go with him to his house. Like I mean he literally dragged her she fell to the floor he still yanked her arm like that. I remember she got hurt along the way too but the mf did not care 😭 like damn maya gave her all in that scene omg. And by the end of the drama I was shocked she still managed to fall in love with him despite everything he did to her. Me personally I would've poisoned his drink or smth if I was humiliated like that but Ig that wasn't the direction the drama wanted to go 😮‍💨

wali is SO terrible and there's even one scene where they're at a dinner together and bc farah is being "insolent" (i.e., still not adjusting to the fact that she was forcefully engaged and married to him against her will) he says something like "i should slap you right now".. and yet bc he gets his "redemption" in the end everyone endlessly fawns over him lol (and i mean tbf obi and maya's chemistry was at its peak at that time and they really are very good scene partners so i think that's something to factor in too). i'm told his arc in the book is better and that he's way more remorseful about his prior dickheadedness than he is portrayed to be in the drama so there's that ig but tbh it still doesn't help the setup of the drama and its reliance on arranged marriages that turn out to be the "right" decision in the first place. the whole thing reeks and i hate it
