"Blind fans are hailing it as perfection"
The latest episode of Jinn Ki Shaadi Unki Shaadi has divided audiences, with reactions ranging from heavy criticism to disappointment.
While the unique genre has intrigued many, several viewers on X have expressed their disapproval with its visual effects.
One highlighted scene involved a character releasing black smoke before splitting into two, revealing another hidden figure inside.
This particular moment went viral, sparking widespread discussion and leaving some viewers unimpressed by the execution and overall direction.
A disappointed viewer commented: “There’s no way you can make this and actually feel proud of it.”
Another lamented the shift in HUM TV’s content, contrasting it with classics like Zindagi Gulzaar Hai and Parizaad.
They argued the channel is increasingly leaning toward supernatural plots that resemble Indian serials, diluting Pakistan’s signature storytelling reputation.
Memes comparing Jinn Ki Shaadi Unki Shaadi to shows like Naagin circulated widely, fueling further debate on cultural direction.
Criticism was not limited to visuals alone, as some viewers also slammed the overacting and melodramatic portrayals within scenes.
Netizens mocked both the acting and the drama’s exaggerated supernatural tropes.
They questioned whether originality was being sacrificed for market-friendly supernatural narratives.
A user said: “But what the actual hell is this cringe and unbearable overacting?”
Another commented:
“Now, they’re churning out illogical jinn-bhoot dramas with substandard VFX.”
“And blind fans are hailing it as perfection and a masterpiece.”
Despite the backlash, several defended the effort, acknowledging the limitations of budget and resources in Pakistan’s entertainment industry.
A user pointed out that quality visual effects require substantial funding, noting that HUM TV dramas operate within constrained financial frameworks.
Others argued that comparisons to international productions or even Indian television lack context, making such expectations unfair for local projects.
Some viewers conceded that while visuals may be forgiven, unbearable overacting damaged the experience beyond saving.
