About Pukaar

Samra (Yumna Zaidi) is a bright, spirited young woman whose marriage to Fahad (Saad Qureshi), the son of a powerful feudal family, seems like the future she chose for herself. That happiness is shattered when she is widowed soon after the wedding and left inside a household that treats tradition, reputation, and control as more important than her right to live freely. As grief closes around her, the once lively Samra is expected to carry the family's pride like a sentence. Sarang (Zahid Ahmed) enters this suffocating world with a more hopeful view of life, challenging the despair that has begun to define hers. Written by Adeel Razzak, Pukaar turns a personal tragedy into a tense study of widowhood, feudal power, and the courage required to imagine a life beyond inherited rules. Its emotional pull rests on Samra's fight to recover her voice without losing the tenderness that made her who she was.

Editor’s Take

Yumna Zaidi gives Samra's grief a quiet, bruising weight, while Zahid Ahmed brings a welcome warmth that keeps Pukaar from sinking under its haveli gloom. Their chemistry is the spark we kept waiting for, and Sarang's optimism feels genuinely earned. Our one gripe? Across 25 episodes, the pacing drags and the flashbacks repeat emotions the performances have already sold. Still, this is heartfelt television with a stubborn pulse. Come for the stars, stay for Samra finding light.
