Barzakh has stunning views, great cast...I know very few of the actors by name but no doubt all of them are masters of their craft. The story is, for me , a bit ambivalent...the maharaja has not forgotten his first love and as he ages his love gets stronger for his murdered beloved, to an extent that he plans to finally marry her on a particular day....this would be called senility in real life instead everyone gives in to his whimsical fancy. And then there are rhoos floating around with rocks on their backs they all seem sad and so do the villagers who are not dead. Little girls are going missing in the village and Sanam is the child who returns from this other world and is not from this world but a connection between the two worlds, basically (a shaman) or a tantric personality that can feel the unseen. It is more of a cult village where they believe in exorcising certain pain through the girls who are going missing. But what is with that woman who never stops painting ...she too looks like a dead soul but people stop by and watch her paint so she is certainly not dead. All in all it is a thought provoking series, something to ruminate about.
