About Behadd
Masooma (Nadia Jamil) has rebuilt her life around her teenage daughter Maha (Sajal Ali) after losing her husband. Their bond is fierce, protective, and increasingly claustrophobic: Maha has become the center of Masooma's world, while Masooma is the one person Maha cannot imagine sharing. When Jamal, or Jo (Fawad Khan), a charming childhood friend and divorcee, returns to their orbit, his easy warmth offers Masooma the possibility of companionship and a future beyond grief. It also unsettles Maha's fragile sense of security. Written by Umera Ahmad and directed by Asim Raza, Behadd turns a seemingly gentle romance into an intimate study of parental devotion, possessiveness, and the blurry line between selfless and selfish love. Nadia Jamil gives the story its emotional gravity, while Sajal Ali makes Maha's fear feel raw rather than merely petulant. Fawad Khan's relaxed charm completes a telefilm that values complicated relationships over easy villains.
Editor’s Take
Nadia Jamil and Sajal Ali give Behadd its bruised, beating heart, turning a mother-daughter bond into something loving, claustrophobic, and painfully believable. Fawad Khan brings a welcome softness, and Asim Raza lets Umera Ahmad's sharp writing breathe instead of drowning it in spectacle. Our one gripe? The late emotional turns push harder than this otherwise subtle telefilm needs. Still, this is mature television storytelling with nerve, warmth, and no interest in easy villains.
