Viral in India, questioned everywhere: Pakistani drama ‘Jahannum Ba'raasta Jannat’ sparks meme fest online for getting everything wrong

A Pakistani TV show is suddenly all over Indian social media feeds, and people are not holding back. Short clips are being shared widely, reactions are pouring in, and the conversation is getting louder by the day. What has caught everyone’s attention is not just the storyline, but also how certain details have been presented. Many viewers here are watching closely and questioning what they see.

This online buzz has also brought back the discussion around a Bollywood film that had earlier sparked debate across the border.

How one film started the conversation

Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar, never saw a theatrical release in Pakistan due to the ongoing situation between the two countries. Even then, the film reached audiences there through pirated DVDs and illegal streaming.

Over time, it also became available on Netflix Pakistan. Its sequel, Dhurandhar 2, followed the same pattern and was accessed through unofficial sources.

The film became popular, but it also faced criticism.

Why Lyari became a sensitive topic

A section of Pakistani viewers was unhappy with how Lyari was shown in Dhurandhar. Many felt that the area was presented in a negative way.

According to them, the film showed Lyari as a place filled with crime, gangs, and political issues. This led to backlash from viewers who believed this was not a fair representation.

The reaction even led to an official response. The Sindh Information Department announced a film titled Mera Lyari and called Dhurandhar “propaganda”. The project has not been released yet.

A new show now in focus

Now, a Pakistani drama titled Jahannum Ba'raasta Jannat is getting attention in India. The show started airing on Green Entertainment on March 29 and is telecast every Sunday at 8 pm.

It stars Umer Aalam, Momina Iqbal, Bushra Ansari, and Javed Sheikh. The story seems to revolve around an India Pakistan espionage theme.

Some unintentionally funny clips from the show are now going viral on Indian social media.

What viewers are pointing out

Many users online have shared their reactions to the show. One common point being discussed is the dialogue delivery.

Some viewers feel that the actors are speaking Urdu while using complex Hindi words that do not sound natural in the scenes. The accents have also been noticed, with people saying that the characters do not convincingly appear Indian.

Concerns around quality and details

Apart from the language, the overall execution has also been questioned by some viewers. Social media posts have highlighted concerns about the production quality.

There are also discussions about certain errors in the storyline. One detail that people pointed out is related to geography, which some say affects the authenticity of the show. The drama ended up showcasing Mumbai skyline as New Delhi headquarters of RAW.

A familiar actor gets noticed

Javed Sheikh, who plays a RAW director in the show, is a known face for Indian audiences. He has worked in Bollywood films like Om Shanti Om and Namastey London.

His presence has added to the curiosity among viewers who are watching the viral clips.

The online debate continues

Right now, Jahannum Ba'raasta Jannat is being talked about widely, especially in India. While some are watching out of curiosity, many are actively sharing their opinions.

With Dhurandhar still part of the conversation, this cross border discussion around films and shows does not seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
