Pakistani television is undergoing a creative shift, and HUM TV’s latest drama, Jama Taqseem, is at the forefront. Airing Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8 p.m. and also available on the channel’s YouTube, the drama has become the talk of the town, generating millions of views and endless discussions and for very good reasons.

Written by Sarwat Nazir, known for her realistic portrayal of family life, and directed by Ali Hassan, who adds cinematic finesse to television storytelling, Jama Taqseem is a series that resonates deeply with viewers. The drama stars Mawra Hocane as Laila, a modern, confident young woman, and Talha Chahour as Qais, her high-school sweetheart turned husband. Supporting the cast is Adnan Qavi Khan, son of the legendary Qavi Khan, along with veteran actors like Javed Sheikh and Beo Raana Zafar, creating a compelling ensemble that brings authenticity to every scene.

The drama centers on the journey of high-school sweethearts navigating love, marriage, and the complexities of a traditional joint family. Laila struggles to adjust to Qais’s household, where rules, expectations, gossip, and family politics create constant challenges. Qais, meanwhile, tries to maintain harmony between his wife and his family. Relatable moments from everyone squeezing into a single car to negotiating household responsibilities reflect both the warmth and tension of joint family living.

The title itself “Jama” (togetherness) and “Taqseem” (division) perfectly captures the drama’s theme. Sensitive issues like lack of privacy, familial pressure, and gender expectations are explored with empathy, making the characters and their struggles highly believable.

What sets Jama Taqseem apart from other dramas is its balance of love, family, and realism. Mawra’s portrayal of Laila, striving to find her place, and Talha’s supportive yet conflicted Qais, create performances that draw viewers in. The series is addictive because it not only entertains but also reflects real family dynamics, encourages conversation, and captures the small, relatable moments that viewers identify with.

For those still undecided, the verdict is clear: Jama Taqseem is worth the hype. It is more than a love story it’s a reflection on togetherness, compromise, and understanding, making it a must-watch for anyone who enjoys heartfelt, relatable drama.
