Reviews

“A new Pakistani web series called Churails has created an uproar in the country for its bold subject matter and depiction of its female leads.”

BBC

“Churails is a superb example in crafting a thriller sans cliffhangers. The nuanced storytelling, exemplary cinematography and production design makes this Pakistani web series created by Asim Abbasi a must watch.”

The Hindu

“All in all, Churails is not only a delightful series but also one that everyone should watch. The show serves as a mirror to the harsh realities of our world and teaches us how to be more tolerant where needed and take a stand. Ending on a cliffhanger, we now wonder what the next season, if there is one, will bring to the table.”

The Express Tribune

“While Churails was initially intended to be made into a film, its online release only shows how that sensibility has evolved. It is bold and intelligent storytelling that opens doors for conversations on ‘difficult’ women.”

Khaleej Times

“There are 10 episodes of ‘Churails’, but each episode makes you get to engage with the characters till the end, you cannot skip a single part of an episode.”
