In the landscape of Pakistani dramas, 'Ishq Murshid' is the latest addition.
It emerges as a catchy narrative that precisely weaves the threads of love, fantasy, and political intrigue together as a drama.
Led by Farooq Rind's direction, the drama introduces audiences to 'Shibra' played by Dur-e-Fishan Saleem and Salman played by Noor ul Hassan, interweaving their lives with unexpected twists.
The arrival of Shahmeer Sikandar played by Bilal Abbas Khan, tied in a one-sided love affair, adds depth to the plot. Rind's masterful direction, along with Abdul Khaliq Khan's storyline paints a visually stunning canvas, adding another gem to the list of top Pakistani dramas.

While the drama serial has already garnered immense praise, the script inconsistencies and character complexities arise. Shibra's character arc received mixed reviews, touching on themes of judgmental behaviour and questionable actions. Though Bilal Abbas has received much love and appreciation for his commendable acting as "Shahmeer."
