Usman Mukhtar and Saba Qamar’s Pamaal is not only dominating social media conversations but has also become a part of everyday discussions in households and for all the right reasons. This Green Entertainment serial captures the harsh, complex realities of our society with striking honesty, shedding light on the emotional, relational, and structural issues that many people encounter in their own lives.
Written by Zanjabeel Asim and directed by Khizer Idrees, Pamaal is produced by Tehreem Chaudhry under the Multiverse Entertainment banner.
Let’s take a closer look at why Pamaal has emerged as one of the biggest hits of 2025 — and what makes it so impactful and relatable for audiences across the board.
The lead characters of the drama, played by Saba Qamar and Usman Mukhtar, make Pamaal a strong and compelling watch, especially considering the quality of performances they have delivered in the past. Even if we set their star power aside, the roles they play in this drama feel deeply relatable in our society. Usman Mukhtar portrays an egoistic man who wants everything to work according to his terms, someone who needs control in every situation, yet still cares for the people in his life while maintaining his dominance. On the other hand, Saba Qamar plays Mallika, a middle class and ambitious girl who believes the world is exactly how she imagines it to be. She creates a perfect fantasy of her future partner, only to face a harsh reality check when real life does not match the dream she built in her mind.
The struggles between the two characters after marriage are shown with impressive detail. From choosing simple household items to everyday disagreements that escalate into heated arguments, the drama highlights how ego, stubbornness, and the need to enforce your own terms can damage a relationship. It also shows how not listening to your partner can affect your life, and how even small misunderstandings or actions done with good intentions can turn against you when communication begins to break down.
Mallika and Raza have given the audience moments filled with joy and emotion. From falling in love at first sight to getting married and slowly discovering each other’s habits, thinking and reactions to the people around them, their journey has been shown with great honesty. Pamaal highlights how small behaviours from family members can affect a couple and how difficult it becomes when those behaviours start bothering both partners. The drama beautifully shows how a man takes a stand for his partner when her self respect is challenged, especially after she is not given the space or regard she deserves.
The serial explores harsh realities of society. It shows the moment Raza and Mallika leave the house of Shahood, Raza’s brother, and how Mallika struggles while living separately with Raza. It also shows how Raza tries to make her understand the challenges of society and how she faces the consequences of not listening to him. Along with the personal challenges, Pamaal also depicts how issues in your professional life can become a major setback for you and your family. Difficult times reveal who truly supports you and who does not, and the drama captures this reality with great clarity.
If we set the story aside, one of the strongest reasons behind the blockbuster success of Pamaal is its chart-topping original sound track. The OST captures the emotional soul of the drama and fits seamlessly into every situation. It is performed beautifully by Shahid Amin, written by Tahir Abbas, and composed by Saad Sultan and Shahid Amin. The writing by Zanjabeel Asim is equally impressive, with every scene carrying purpose and adding depth to the overall narrative. Within just a few episodes, the audience has formed a strong connection with the plot, reacting passionately to every twist across social media platforms. Both fans and critics have been vocal in their appreciation.
The drama is visually stunning, filmed across the scenic landscapes of Islamabad and Murree, with every outdoor sequence showcasing exceptional cinematography and high production value.
Pamaal has already crossed 100 million views on YouTube in just 18 episodes and has become another major milestone for Green Entertainment. The upcoming episodes promise a powerful emotional ride as Raza battles his illness and faces the setback of a bail cancellation at a time when his family needs him the most.
This track is shaping up to be one of the most talked-about elements of the serial, and viewers are already anxious about what lies ahead, especially with the possibility of Mallika and Raza will no longer be together. The thought alone feels heartbreaking and has heightened anticipation for what the drama will deliver next.
