(Madhav Lal Hussain) “My heart is a grave, where love is buried, and I am a mourner” I read these beautiful words of someone and they were imprinted on my heart forever. who brought these words back to mind, love, death, love, memory and life, these are words that are closely related to each other. If we go, we realize who, where and how we are, this world is another name for troubles and sorrows and they are realized when we do not get what we desire the most, Barzakh series too. Seen surrounded by such emotions and feelings, the pain that this series has hidden in itself can be felt by every human being, that is the reason that perhaps a person gets lost somewhere in his memories after watching it and these words come to mind:
“In the end, it wasn’t death that destroyed me, but the life I lived without you.”
Barzakh is a harrowing, audaciously technical six-part series shot in the ‘Hunza Valley’ of northern Pakistan, a valley drenched in desolate, lush beauty, styled by director Asim Basi. Fawad Khan, Sanam Saeed, Salman Shahid, Syed Arham, Khushal Khan etc. seem to be lost in the characters in such a way that the story seems to give a sense of their own life story. , the characters in this story are lost in the lush mountains of trees, poplars, apricots, everything seems ripe with metaphors, leaves, pigeons, palm prints, magic moon signs written on the wall, those stones of the rocks. which the ghosts carry on their backs, from an angle, resembling fairy wings, a door frame echoing the Ouroboros tattoo on the prince’s arm, the story’s characters in an uncanny valley of desire and death. Seemingly trapped, Jafar lives in a literal haunted house, though the lives of ordinary villagers seem just as haunted (they seem to agree on what constitutes “the mercy of the universe”), Barzakh. The interval between two things is called “Aar”. Yes, the story also revolves around the same topic:
