Jo Bichar Gaye (Urdu: جو بچھڑ گئے, lit. 'Those Who Were Split') is a Pakistani historical drama television series based on the book "Bichar Gaye" by Col. Z. I. Farrukh. The series is directed and produced by Haissam Hussain under his banner H2 Films, Mehreen Alam as co-writer for screenplay and written by Ali Moeen. It features Wahaj Ali, Maya Ali and Talha Chahour in leading roles. Set in 1970 and 1971, Jo Bichar Gaye is based on Bangladesh Liberation War, including the fall of Dhaka. It premiered on Geo Entertainment on 12 December 2021 and aired weekly. The show ended on 13 March 2022 with 14 episodes.
The plot revolves around the political conflict between West Pakistan and East Pakistan (modern day Bangladesh) at the time of the Bangladesh Liberation War, and deals with fictional events from 1970 to 1971.
Wahaj revealed in an interview about his upcoming project with Maya. Talha Chahour, a theatre actor makes his television debut with this serial. The serial marks comeback of Nadia Jamil after her cancer recovery.
The shooting of the series took place within Lahore at several locations, mainly Government College University, Punjab University Old Campus, National College of Arts (NCA) and Chamba House, Lahore. A few scenes were filmed in Governor's House, Lahore too.
The series was originally produced to be release on Green Entertainment, however due to the delayed launch of the network it could not happen and consequently the series aired on Geo Entertainment. The first and second teasers were released on 8 December 2021. The series premiered on 12 December 2021.
The series received acclaim due to its execution and script.
In a review for Dawn, the reviewer praised its unbiased approach comparing it with Hussain's previous historical-period drama stating, "Like Haissam Hussain’s previous work Dastan, which centred on Partition, Jo Bichar Gaye does not indulge in triumphalist patriotism or demonisation." A review for The Express Tribune noted Wahaj Ali's performance as Rumi. Noor-Ul-Huda of The News International found it as a "well-executed drama" with a "nuanced storyline" and commended the casting, direction, and subject matter, its attention to detail in cinematography, costuming, and visual effects.
In a review published by The Daily Star, the reviewer panned the series for its distorted portrayal of the 1971 Liberation War, showing protesting Dhaka University students as "uncouth bullies" and Pakistani army men as "righteous gentlemen", and noted the inaccurate depiction of historical events and its use of derogatory language towards Bengalis.
