== Reception == Writing for ''Dawn'', Sadaf Haider found that "a strong cast and direction pull the story together, keeping it entertaining without going over the edge." and that "Like most Ramazan shows, the supporting cast of quirky but lovable personalities are essential to the spirit of the show.(..) Despite the simple setting, efforts have been made to keep up the production values, and the wardrobe and lighting giving us a very watchable show."<ref>{{Cite web |last=Haider |first=Sadaf |date=2023-04-02 |title=THE TUBE |url=https://www.dawn.com/news/1745121 |access-date=2024-06-27 |website=DAWN.COM |language=en}}</ref> Sada Noor, in ''Youlin,'' wrote'', "Heer da Hero'' (was) yet another romantic comedy, aired on Geo TV is written by Amar Khan, directed by Saima Waseem, and produced by Abdullah Kadwani and Asadullah Qureshi. Anyone who has seen last year’s ''Chaudhry and sons,'' won’t find anything different in the ongoing drama because it has the same director, actors and is being shown on the same channel. It is disappointing to see Imran making almost no effort in changing his mannerisms and acting."<ref>{{Cite web |last= |first= |title=Ramadan Dramas 2023 - Dr. Saba Noor - Youlin Magazine |url=https://www.youlinmagazine.com/article/ramadan-dramas-2023/MjQ4OQ==#google_vignette |access-date=2024-06-27 |website=youlinmagazine |language=en}}</ref>
