‘Sher’ Finale to be Screened in Cinemas across Pakistan

ARY Digital has confirmed that the final episode of Sher will not only air on television but also be screened in cinemas.

The channel shared the announcement on Instagram, inviting fans to “witness the last roar” of the much-discussed drama on the big screen.

To build excitement, the promotion included an AI-generated image of Danish Taimoor and Sarah Khan stepping out of a cinema.

The playful poster hinted at paparazzi-style coverage, positioning the finale more like a film premiere than a regular drama broadcast.

However, reactions from viewers have been mixed, with some fans excited while others feel the serial has lost momentum.

Danish Taimoor’s supporters welcomed the move, calling it a good decision.

Several television viewers expressed that the show had grown overly dragged, making its cinematic release seem less appealing than intended.

Adding to the drama surrounding Sher, lyricist Akram Rehan previously revealed grievances regarding the treatment of the OST he wrote.

In an interview, he alleged that he was underpaid and misled, receiving only Rs 50,000 with no proper contract.

He stated that the producers described the project as low budget, only for his work to later become the show’s official soundtrack.

Despite Arif Lohar’s powerful rendition and strong composition, Rehan lamented being denied credits, describing the experience as deeply unfair and disappointing.

Beyond production controversies, Sher has also been the subject of widespread ridicule due to questionable creative choices in recent episodes.

In one infamous scene, a character calls her father from the United States, but poor green screen editing drew heavy backlash.

Viewers mocked the unrealistic depiction of America, with many comparing the production quality unfavourably to simple TikTok videos.

Others criticised the actress’ forced American accent, calling it jarring and unconvincing for a drama backed by a major television network.

Previously, a psychiatric ward sequence also became viral after absurd wall scribbles included phrases like “Kill me,” “Shut up,” and “Coronavirus.”

The moment was roasted online, with memes ridiculing the attempt at symbolism that instead came across as unintentionally comedic.

Despite flaws and controversies, Sher has remained one of ARY Digital’s most talked-about serials due to its scale and star cast.

The final episode’s cinema release is being marketed as a good move, though success will depend heavily on audience turnout.

Whether the finale redeems the drama or adds to its list of viral memes, it will certainly be watched closely.
