Barzakh Trailer Out

The series explores profound themes of life's mysteries, the afterlife, and the enduring power of love, as highlighted in its official synopsis. In the trailer, Fawad is seen driving through the hills to a place intriguingly named 'Land of Nowhere.' Upon arrival, he encounters Sanam and remarks, "So you're still running the circus around here?" to which she responds, "Who else will?" As the wedding day approaches, the trailer hints at various supernatural occurrences.

A particularly striking moment is when a child questions Fawad about why no one is stopping his grandfather from marrying a ghost. Fawad replies that it’s due to 'fear.' While he believes his father is misguided in thinking he can marry a ghost, Sanam sees it differently. She describes it as the power of love and persuades Fawad to support his father's unusual decision.

Barzakh, a highly anticipated series featuring stars Fawad Khan and Sanam Saeed from Zindagi Gulzar Hai, premiered globally on Zindagi’s YouTube and ZEE5 on July 19. Directed by Asim Abbasi, known for his work on Churails and Cake, the series is produced by Shailja Kejriwal and Waqas Hassan.

Director Asim Abbasi describes Barzakh as a story about love and faith, focusing on humans desperately seeking connections and meaning in life. ‘“Fragile, broken souls are looking to hold on to whatever they can to make sense of this big, bad, beautiful thing called life. Thanks to Shailja and Zindagi, 'Barzakh' has truly been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me," Abbasi said.

Producer Shailja Kejriwal highlights the uniqueness of Barzakh, noting how the cast and crew came together to create something fresh and slightly mind-bending. "At its core, 'Barzakh' is about an estranged family reuniting for a wedding. It is unique because this reunion brings together the living as well as the dead. It is elevating because, at the end of it all, there is a 'happily ever after'!" she said.
