Ainak Wala Jin (Urdu: عینک والا جن, English: Spectacled Genie) is a Pakistani children's television series produced and broadcast by PTV Lahore from 1993 to 1996 and again from 2005 to 2008.[1][2] This drama was rebroadcast two times on television in Pakistan due to public demand.

The theme was conceived by Hafeez thair. He starts living with humans, and the interesting interaction starts. He meets magicians, witches, other genies, space people, and real-life characters. These interactions gave birth to a very interesting story line that entailed comedy, magic, morals, and learning for children and adults.

Note: It should be mentioned here that four famous female singers of Pakistan started their career as actresses with this TV serial. They are Shabnam Majeed, Fariha Pervez, and Humera Arshad. While Hina Nasrullah also acted in Ainak Wala Jin 2.

The serial was written by the late Abdul Hameed, who is popularly known as A Hameed.[3] He has written about two hundred books, innumerable columns, memoirs, novels, fiction for children, and many serials for Pakistani television. His TV serials included Dachi, Alif Liala (many episodes), Ambar Naag Maria, and AINAK WALA JIN. The last one surpassed his other works in popularity.[3][2]

This TV serial was directed by Hafeez Tahir, a versatile director of Pakistan Television. He was given the producer of the decade award for this production by PTV.

He is a poet, short story writer, newspaper columnist and still photographer. He has three publications to his credit: "Aathwan Rang," "Zere Zamin", and his latest to date, "Manzil Manzil"

In the absence of computer graphics facilities, the director of the show, Hafeez Tahir, managed to create many special effects with the simple chroma key technique. Some ingenious techniques were invented to make those effects with the help of able lighting cameramen and their technical crew. Many layers were created and matted to create imaginative video effects.

This play has been immensely popular among children and adults at the same time. The children, their parents, and their elders enjoyed it together. The characters became household names, and some of the dialogues were transformed into political connotations. The team of the play had been invited by many educational institutions and dignitaries, like the Governor of Punjab, Pakistan, Khalid Maqbool, to request a live performance for them.

The team was also invited by Imran Khan, the legendary cricketer turned politician, to raise funds his Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre and, in this connection, the entire play team, along with the play director Hafeez Tahir, had the honour of performing before Princess Diana, Princess of Wales and Imran Khan.[4] The team, including Hamoon Jadugar, Zakoota Jin, Bill Batori, Hafeez Tahir, and some other actors, visited 2005 Kashmir earthquake-affected areas with the President of Pakistan to bring back smiles on the faces of mentally stressed children. The team visited the areas on a special helicopter. The play team also performed a magical comedy skit on the Eid Night live transmission from there.

Matloobur Rehman was paralysed and diabetic since 2012. He rose to fame after he played the chacater of Zakoota in Ainak Wala Jinn in 1993. Many famous dialogues of the character are still remembered by the fans.
