Principal photography for the series took place in Baku, Azerbaijan and Karachi, Pakistan.[citation needed] On April, 12 2024 the series ended with the airing of the 31st and final episode.[4] Broadcast and controversyThe fact that the drama mocked various Shah Rukh Khan movies did not sit well with netizens, who demanded an immediate ban on the drama. Some were disappointed that Pakistani dramas were now making fun of another nation's drama for attention, while others were miffed that the said dramas were promoting Indian movies.[5] ReceptionThe series received a positive review in Dawn.[6] Youlin Magazine was far more mixed and stated, "Nevertheless, the show suffers from a dearth of comedy and relatability. The allusions to famous Bollywood movies is also a bit over dramatic, and has been criticised by netizens. On the whole, it makes for a good light-hearted watch after Iftar, if you have nothing better to do."[7] References
