After an eventful 30-episode run, HUM TV’s Jama Taqseem concluded on Thursday with the show’s characters coming together to resolve much of its conflict over a hearty meal. Forgiveness was sought, hugs were exchanged and the show ended with a line about how dividing wealth, respect, and relationships is just as important as gathering them.
Fans had plenty to say about how the drama wrapped up. Some praised the show for touching upon taboo subjects and ending on a wholesome note, while others complained about loose ends and problematic elements in the narrative.
Some users on X enjoyed the episode, calling it “cute” and “wholesome.” One even said it reminded them of the Bollywood classic Hum Saath Saath Hain.
Throughout its run, Jama Taqseem tackled several important issues, including mistreatment in joint family setups, sexual harassment within families, and the importance of communication between spouses. These ideas resonated with viewers, many of whom described the show as “a breath of fresh air.”
Fans also appreciated how the characters were portrayed as flawed humans capable of growth. The emphasis on setting healthy boundaries drew particular praise.
Not everything was rosy, however. Viewers took issue with the much-discussed arc of the character Zeeshan. For those who may need a refresher, Zeeshan was previously caught red-handed harassing his cousin, Sidra, who understandably refuses to forgive him in the final episodes.
In the last episode, Zeeshan is welcomed back with open arms after he supposedly “mends his ways” and joins his father at work —though he is not allowed to return to the old family home with Sidra. Many viewers felt this punishment was too lenient given his actions.
One user on X also criticised a scene showing women handling housework while men sat at the dinner table, calling it too conventional for a show otherwise committed to social commentary and breaking barriers.
Finally, with so many hot-button issues packed into the finale, one viewer (rightly!) remarked that the drama seemed to be rage-baiting audiences at this point.
With Jama Taqseem now over, Wednesday and Thursday nights are going to feel just a little emptier. The show wasn’t perfect — few ever are — but it sparked important conversations in Pakistani living rooms about coexistence, boundaries and when living together may not be the best option. We hope to see more dramas that inspire similar discussions in the days ahead.
