As much as the audience was anticipating it, Pamaal has come to a turn that takes us on a rollercoaster of emotions-Raza’s(Usman Mukhtar) death. Shot with attention to detail, Pamaal captures the characters’ emotions through intense expressions and dialogue, earning praise for its storytelling.
Raza and Malika(Saba Qamar) decide to go on a date, like old times, which Raza calls their last date. Dressed in a suit, Raza takes Malika on a boat ride, surrounded by serenity. While Malika talks about how they have seen all seasons in life, Raza takes his last breath in her lap. Raza’s demise was subtle, yet the loss was visible and heard.
The moment Malika says she wants to be with Raza even in the afterlife is the moment she knows her husband is no more. Shocked, Malika loses her composure and grieves her loss; she cries her heart out as all she had to do next was to be strong for her daughter.
The life of a cancer patient and how they lose the battle of life was deeply understood and displayed by the Pamaal team. The way people related to Raza’s final days and his passing has made it a further success. Sharing their own experience, a netizen called Pamaal is real and raw. They stated that Pamaal has respected the ones who have lost family to cancer by touching on the topic realistically. They posted:

However, the ones invested in Malika’s story are not happy with Raza taking the central role in the plot. They posted:
#Pamaal has killed all objections aligned with male chauvinism, misogyny and misandrist. The drastic shift in his toxic behaviour to a supportive husband has overlap male critiques on Pakistani drama industry of being women centric ! an award winning performances!
