Zindagi Gulzar Hai

I have always wondered why we have, coming from Pakistan, such amazing dramas with stunningly effective expressions of human relationships through simple real-life situations. We saw this in some amazing TV serials in the 70's and 80's and now we have some more shown to us, thankfully, by an Indian channel. Zindagi Gulzar Hai, along with Humsafar, is one such.

I guess it is because the top writers and directors of Pakistan are not enamoured by the props (both visual and aural) which my countrymen tend to make over-liberal use of. There is much for Indian industry to learn from the where the heart of Pakistani drama lies.

If there is a better presentation of a love story based on the South Asian culture . . . I haven't seen it - I am 66 and have been watching them for over half a century.

The beautifully written dialogue, superbly rendered by the two protagonists are the stand out feature of this romantic drama. The background score is amazing in its subtle and subdued presentation. One tends to see this play and snippets from it again and again and the beauty of the background score starts glowing brightly once one has started hearing other things besides the luminous dialogue.

The acting of all the actors is flawless but Fawad and Sanam Saeed steel your heart.

This is one for the ages.

This show surpassed my expectations in every way.I noticed my mother watched it on Zindagi channel.In college one of my friends recommended it to me.I love shows like Breaking Bad,Friends,Six feet under etc.This is my first Pakistani show and what a show it is!.If you like drama with social issues stressed upon ,this is a show for you .If you like shows with good looking lead characters ,who have a superb chemistry between them,this show is made for you. All in all i fell in love with Kashaf Murtaza,and now I watch every episode and regret why i watched it.Maybe i could go back in time and watch it again!.Silly huh? .Maybe your thoughts about me change, once you give it a try.

I can't express the awesomeness of this show by words. Excellent display of reality, relationships, conditional experiences and our society. This play will not drag you to unwanted emotions but conveys something very strong in every scene. Depicts the reality of life in a wonderful way. Whether it's Kashaf OR Zarun OR Kashaf family OR Zarun family OR friends, everyone played a unique role in displaying reality of relationship and thoughts in present situations. The ending displays a substantial reasons for the title which is what is life? It is zulgar.... Found a wonderful play after very long time....if possible will give 11/10 for this show.

To speak the truth, I didn't expect much from this TV series even after hearing all the positive reviews. After watching a lot of legendary masterpieces like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Sherlock, Dexter and so on, should I go for Zindagi Gulzar Hai??? I was so confused! Specially because I never enjoyed any Indian TV series before! So I thought this Pakistan made drama series could not be any better. I was so confused whether to give it a try or not! But somehow I managed and gave it a try... and then BOOOOM!

What an experience! What a journey! I finished the series and found myself speechless! The actors was outstanding, direction was phenomenal, music was just perfect! and the story? Believe me, no word is enough to praise it! In a word, ZGH was f***ing perfect in every way! Finally, a true masterpiece has come out from an Indian subcontinent. It was way beyond my expectations. Definitely recommended to watch.

This drama series was one of my favorite! All the episodes were poignant, meaningful, and powerful. The actors/actresses were all engaged with their characters, therefore it looked real and natural. Sameena Peerzada is amazing! I absolutely loved all the simple and meaningful conversations between mother and daughters, son and his parents, brother and sister, sister to sister, wife and husband, and all the ones in between.

The drama gave so many life lessons that everyone who watched it should implement in their own lives. The writing, direction, production, and acting were all excellent!

Thank you Umera Ahmad for writing such a beautiful and well-produced drama series!
