Warning, this story contains spoilers for the finale of the drama Jo Bichar Gaye.

Jo Bichar Gaye has come to an end after 14 episodes and the short but impactful drama has left fans consumed by emotions after witnessing the conclusion to the three main characters' journeys. Though netizens describe the drama as heartbreaking, there's high praise for how it stays true to the historical event and its consequences.

Based on the true events that occurred during the separation of East Pakistan in 1971, the drama takes a wide lens and allows for a Bengali view. It then takes a deeper dive by linking the timeline of political failures and the human cost. The cast includes Wahaj Ali, Maya Ali, Talha Chahour, Nadia Jamil, Sajid Shah, Adnan Jaffar and Rana Majid, among others.

The historical drama explored several points of view and in the finale, it boiled down to a soldier (Chahour) who had to weigh choosing his family or his country, Wahaj, a man who'd been misled by his superiors finally taking a stand and a woman (Maya) trying to make the right, unselfish choice at the cost of her own life. Fans raved about how underrated the drama is and how the industry needs to follow suit and create more shows that prioritise quality content that balances entertainment and information.
