5 Things to Know About ‘Hurmat’ — HUM TV’s Bold New Drama Starring Dananeer Mobeen

HUM TV’s Hurmat has quickly become one of the most talked-about Pakistani dramas of the season. Twelve episodes in, the serial has sparked debate, split viewers into camps, and made Dananeer Mobeen’s Hurmat one of the most discussed heroines on Pakistani television. Here is what you need to know.

1. It’s Hurmat’s story, first and foremost. Dananeer Mobeen’s Hurmat is a young woman who has finished her degree and wants to keep studying — but her father Akram controls every part of her life, from her movements to her future. That emotional core, and Mobeen’s performance, is what has won over audiences. She is the standout of the show.
2. The confrontation that changed everything. In episode 8, Hurmat finally stands up to her father — and the next morning, he is found dead. Whether his death was natural or something darker remains an open question, and Hurmat blames herself for their final argument. It is the twist the whole season has turned on since.
3. The broken engagement. Hurmat got engaged to Tabish, a young Assistant Commissioner played by Shahveer Jafry in his television acting debut. By episode 11 she had broken it off, and episode 12 dealt with the fallout — splitting viewers into Team Hurmat and Team Tabish. It is the break-up everyone is still arguing about.
4. The prison-cell mystery. The very first episode opens with Hurmat behind bars, then flashes back to the house that confined her long before any prison did. The latest episodes leave her caught in a police raid after a party — and it is not yet clear whether that is the cell the show opened on.
5. Where to watch it. Hurmat airs on HUM TV on Monday and Tuesday nights at 8pm PKT, with full episodes on the network’s official YouTube channel. Twelve episodes have aired so far, and episode 13 arrives on Monday, November 16.
