=== Critical response ===
Shilajit Mitra of [[The Hindu]] praised ''Barzakh'' for its "achingly, unabashedly artful" approach, noting how it intertwines past and present through its characters' stories. He highlighted Fawad Khan’s portrayal of Shehryar, mentioning his "wintry handsomeness with a comic cynicism." However, Mitra criticized the series for losing its "sustained mysticism" in a "psychedelic freak-out" sequence.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Mitra |first1=Shilajit |title=‘Barzakh’ series review: Fawad Khan grounds a bewitching, overblown saga |url=https://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/movies/barzakh-series-review-fawad-khan-grounds-a-bewitching-overblown-saga/article68424866.ece |access-date=21 July 2024 |work=[[The Hindu]] |date=20 July 2024 |language=en-IN}}</ref>
