Watch this episode now on 4oD Ash and Shahid

A stylish black and white comedy in Urdu featuring Rez Kempton and Ace Bhatti as Ash and Shahid, two lazy and bored social workers who reluctantly agree to reunite the cast of a legendary amateur Bollywood musical, Pappa Kehta Hain, to be restaged at the Pakistan Centre where they work.

In their search for the old cast members, they encounter a singing barber, a villainous butcher and an over-acting taxi driver, and along way they reconnect with their enthusiasm for life, love and family.

But unless they can track down the elusive hero, Sajid Hussain, the show can't go on...

  1. I thought the production was superb. The acting, directing and editing tight and highly professional. I particularly enjoyed the simple and very entertaining storyline. One note to mention, I thought that Javed Khan played his character exceptionally well - truly believable, authentic with apparent life experience. A very big thank you and well done to all involved ~ GuruSavlis

  2. I disagree in parts to the comments. If you fell asleep, its obvious you were tired, after all it was on during Ramadan and all Muslims are drained of energy during that time. Back to the film, it was a great concept which had this quirky cool feeling abou it. As a film enthusiast hoping to shoot films of the same style, my pointers to the director would be to get the characters to work on their Urdu and pic more golden oldies from Rafi Sahab as the soundtrack. The plot of a possible weekly should be similiar to the whole Ando/Hiro character from the Heroes. They should be sent on weekly adventures around the UK to sort out the mess off the pakistani community. All in all i hope there is more to come!

  3. Hi, It was a good try but i regret to say that whilst i was watching it i went to sleep. It didnt turned out as expected. The dialouges, Script especially the plot. I have no clue what it was about. just to look for the Hero for the drama "papa kehtay hain." I can easly tell that the two friends forced eachother to laugh on their jokes. I rather say please bring in a better plot next time. Black & white was a good concept but still its was not worth watching. No wonder it was telecasted in midnight. sorry guys but you guys need much more to entertain and you need to work on the language if you claim it to be the first urdu drama. hope its is posted.
