ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Television (PTV) has digitally resurrected the beloved 90s children’s classic Ainak Wala Jin, releasing the remastered HD version on its official YouTube channel.
The fantasy series, which originally aired in 1993, now offers sharper visuals to enchant nostalgic fans and new audiences alike.
Nostalgia Meets Modern Technology
The HD restoration brings new life to the adventures of Nastoor Jin, the benevolent spectacled genie from Khokhab, and his human friend Imran.
PTV’s initiative preserves the show’s original charm while upgrading its visual quality, making iconic characters like the mischievous Zakoota Jin, bumbling Bill Batori, and cunning Samari Jadugar more vibrant than ever.
The series’ pioneering (for its time) special effects and moral-driven storytelling remain intact.
Cultural Legacy Rekindled
Ainak Wala Jin dominated 90s Pakistani pop culture with its unique blend of fantasy and comedy, spawning catchphrases that endure today.
The YouTube release makes this cultural treasure freely accessible globally, allowing diaspora viewers to revisit childhood memories and introducing Gen Z to Pakistan’s first major children’s fantasy production.
PTV plans to upload the complete series gradually, with the first five HD episodes already garnering thousands of views within hours.
