Originally rumored to be titled Khoon Baha, fans can now get excited for Qarz-e-Jaan, a name that already gives us hints of a crime mystery on the cards. While the teaser doesn’t reveal much just yet, it certainly sets the stage for an intense journey.
The teaser offers a refreshing twist, giving us a glimpse into life’s battles and the relentless pursuit of justice.

2. Yahya Featuring Madiha Imam & Khushhal Khan: New Drama, Old Story, Fresh Take!
The new drama Yahya is just two episodes in, and it’s already setting the stage for intense family drama and personal growth. Yahya, played by Khushhal, is the beloved only son in a family of sisters, basking in the attention and affection of his dadi and mother. However, his older sister Bushra (Zara Tareen) isn’t thrilled about Yahya’s privileged position and harbors serious resentment, particularly as she struggles with her own issues surrounding marriage. Just when we think we’re about to roll our eyes at the all-too-familiar trope of the jealous sibling, we are introduced to Mili, the girl next door, played by Madiha Imam. Mili is an only child, adored by her parents, and she also has a special soft spot for her neighbor, Yahya.
So far, we also get a glimpse of Yahya’s secret passion for cricket, which he has to hide from his overprotective father. The tension between Yahya’s dreams and his father’s expectations brings an emotional depth to the story, highlighting the struggles young men face when their ambitions clash with family values. With his controlling father, bitter sister, and love for cricket, Yahya’s life is full of challenges and emotional twists.
How will Yahya overcome these obstacles, and what’s next for him? If you’re intrigued to see how it all unfolds, tune in to Yahya on Geo and follow his journey!

3. Tax Lagega Featuring Mirza Gohar & Noreen Gulwani: Dark Comedy Mirroring Real Life Problems!
If you’re a Pakistani, especially someone who runs the household and is the primary breadwinner, you can relate to the heavy burden of taxes—whether it’s on something as small as a toothbrush or as big as a luxury car. For middle-class individuals with a minimal wage, this tax and inflation become a REAL struggle that feels impossible to escape
Tax Lagega, an upcoming episode in the Bol Kahani series, reflects these real-life problems with a clever twist of dark comedy. Mirza Gohar plays the protagonist, a man overwhelmed by the burden of taxes and inflation, unable to meet the needs of his family. At his breaking point, he contemplates suicide, only to discover that even the rope he contemplates using to end his life comes with a hefty tax attached! This darkly humorous take highlights the absurdity of life’s struggles, where even death feels taxed. Noreen Gulwani plays Gohar’s wife, and together, they find themselves stuck in a web of financial misery, facing the harsh realities of a country where even the simplest pleasures come at a price. The drama offers a biting commentary on the system, blending humor with despair in a way that will leave viewers both laughing and reflecting on the absurdity and traumas of everyday life.
Tax Lagega is written by Osama Sadique and directed by Mehroz Amin. It is a project of Babar Javed Productions airing on Bol TV as part of one episodic Bol Kahani Series. The cast features Mirza Gohar, Noreen Gulwani, and more.
