Barzakh OTT Release Date: Here’s When and Where To Watch Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed’s Romance Drama Series Online (View Poster).
India Today: "Unlike Sanam and Fawad's previous outing - 12 years back with 'Zindagi Gulzar Hai' - the dynamic here is more complex. This is no run-of-the-mill love story and definitely not a typical Fawad-Sanam love story, so don't jump in expecting that. Instead, the duo lend their powerhouse of talent to playing roles that extend to the larger theme of the show."
News18: "Barzakh wouldn’t be what it is if it weren’t for its cast. Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed are undoubtedly one of the most drawing factors of the show. However, the first two episodes merely teased the big potential they have in the upcoming episodes. Fawad’s scenes with his on-screen son, especially the one in the second episode’s climax, are my favourite. On the other hand, Sanam casts a magical spell on you with her presence and performance in the show."

Times Now: "Barzakh, in Islam, means the period that the soul waits after death and before the final judgement. The show wonderfully explores what it is to wait, to long, to suffer from the excruciating pain of being parted from those who make up your world. It is a story that will make you sit and ponder and will stay with you for a while. Watch this delicate piece of art with an open mind, an empathic soul and of course, a handkerchief, for the raw emotions will haunt you more than the ghosts do."
Indian Express: "Mercifully, the strong story-telling and performances, and the breath-taking scenery (the production design is outstanding) more than make up for those bits. Fawad Khan, whose heart-throb quotient hasn’t dropped an inch for his fans in India, is every bit as dishy as he has been; Sanam Saeed is as gorgeous."
Considering the widespread positive reviews for Fawad Khan's show Barzakh, are you thinking of watching it soon?
