Welcome to Khandaan: A Bollywood Podcast where this week we’re joined by Aimun F. (@bluemagicboxes on Twitter) for our deep dive into BARZAKH.

Directed by Asim Abbasi (Cake, Churails), this ambitious 6-part Pakistani drama is now available on Zee5 and YouTube. Starring Fawad Khan, Sanam Saeed and others, this is a tale of the supernatural and the real that takes its own time.

Aimun joins us to discuss the way this story weaves into the realities of Pakistan, the lives of the characters, and the various themes.

The entire season of Barzakh is available to watch on Youtube (here) if your country has not barred it.
