If there is one thing people are excited about in Ms. Marvel it has to be the music. People are impressed with episode four already especially since a Coke Studo hit that's very special to our hearts made its way into the episode. Ali Sethi and Shae Gill's 'Pasoori' is the second song from the recent season of Coke Studio to make it to the Disney+ series and the musicians as well as music producers are "honoured" to have their work featured.

Abdullah Siddiqui, the associate producer of Coke Studio's latest season, wrote on Instagram, "Unbelievably honoured to have my work featured in the MCU." He said it's been a year for Pakistani representation. He called it "overwhelming and so beautiful" and said he is thrilled to be a part of it.

The producer of the latest season, Xulfi, also shared the same photo as Siddiqui on his Instagram and congratulated the team while also thanking the "universe" for infinite blessings.

Sethi also shared the news with a clip from the fourth episode from Ms. Marvel. He called it "'Pasoori' pow".

Singers Faisal Kapadia, Rup Magon of Josh the band, music producer Talal Qureshi, actor Adnan Malik, artist Misha Japanwala and Gangs of Wasseypur actor Richa Chadha also dropped by to comment on the achievement.

The recent episode also featured Pakistani songs such as SomeWhatSuper and Abid Brohi's 'The Sibbi Song', 'Aag' by Talal Qureshi and Naseebo Lal, 'Doobne De' (Reprise) by Hassan and Roshaan, 'Disco Deewane' by Nazia Hassan, 'Babia' by Sajjad Ali' and 'Mera Laung Gawacha' by Musarrat Nazir.

'Pasoori' is the second Coke Studio song to be featured in the series. It is the first, however, to make it to the actual episode. Hasan Raheem, Talal Qureshi and Justin Bibis' 'Peechay Hutt' made it to Ms. Marvel's second episode's credit scene. It was also used in a short promotional clip shared by Marvel on Instagram for the second episode.

Episodes of Ms. Marvel drop every Wednesday on Disney+ and are also being screened in theatres across Pakistan. Episode 3 and 4 will be screened on July 1, while 5 and 6 will be screened on July 15.

Our people feel honoured and thrilled on being included and misrepresented in something that will lead to the social fabric being totally torn in order to fit with and meet the expectations of the West. Wait a minute, we are already there after social media bulldozed our social and moral values.

We should feel honored about our own music/production...not a small glimpse of a foreign show that is primarily made for a foreign audience as that makes me feel that we think foreign productions are inherently superior to ours.

There is nothing Pakistani about Ms marvel. Except some side actors who are played by Pakistani actors. Even the main actors are played by indians which is pathetic.

@Truth be told, what misrepresentation? The show is representative of the lived experiences of the Pakistani diaspora, written and developed by a Pakistani British lady and the lead played by a Pakistani Canadian ( I.e. Pakistani diaspora again) with a lot of effort put in to be actual representation instead of lip service. Also if a fantasy TV show is somehow going to tear the Pakistani social fabric (how extract would that even happen?) then that social fabric is so weak, you have bigger problems to contend with, so maybe focus on those. If you dont like the show that's fine. But check the hysterics at the door please.

@Farrah get your facts straight please. The show is representative of the lived experiences of the Pakistani diaspora, written and developed by a Pakistani British lady and the lead played by a Pakistani Canadian ( i.e. Pakistani diaspora again) with a lot of effort put in to be actual representation instead of lip service... aka the team behind the scenes, the supporting actors, and the score / soundtrack. All of which gives Pakistan and Pakistani talent across the spectrum, positive global exposure.

Pakistanis are mentally slaves to the whites, why should someone from eastern culture be honoured to represent western values ? Wannabe “gorays” should find something worthwhile and stop being ashamed of their culture And skin colour.

Yeah - we have very little left to celebrate these days - a sad state of affairs for our "civilization". The particular representation itself has been hijacked and colonised and it is the colonised mis-representation with even more distorted roots that is becoming a cause for celebration this year again and again? It's great that our peeps are getting employment but jubilations over fiction, is that what we have really come down to now? Sadness...
