The story revolves around a family preparing for a wedding in Pakistan. The main characters are Reema (the bride-to-be), her parents, and other family members. The family appears to be from a middle-class background but is trying to present themselves as more affluent to impress Reema's in-laws, who are coming from Lahore.
The story begins with family members discussing their plans to upgrade their lifestyle and home to appear wealthier. They talk about buying a large house with multiple bathrooms, a swimming pool, and space for several cars on the roof. There's humor in their exaggerated and sometimes impractical desires, like wanting a swimming pool outside every bathroom. The family is particularly concerned about impressing the in-laws from Lahore, whom they perceive as more sophisticated and wealthy.
They discuss various strategies to appear more affluent, including borrowing expensive clothes from neighbors and lying about their professions and possessions. Reema's brother, Nabil, is portrayed as irresponsible and prone to exaggeration. He claims to have bought expensive, branded clothes from London, but his mother suspects they're actually from the local second-hand market. There's a comical scene where Nabil tries to convince his mother that he's a successful lawyer who studied in London. While she worries about the family's reputation if their lie are discovered. The story also touches on cultural aspects, like the importance of appearance in arranged marriages and the perceived differences between people from different cities (in this case, Karachi and Lahore). The family's efforts to impress the in-laws highlight the societal pressure to appear successful and wealthy, even if it means stretching the truth or going into debt. There's another plot involving Reema's pigeons, which she's very attached to.
A character named Luqman is preparing some kind of medicinal concoction that requires pigeon meat, much to Reema's dismay. This leads to a confrontation where Reema threatens to report Luqman to someone named Anjuman Apa if he harms her pigeons. The story also includes some scenes of daily life and family interactions. There's a humorous exchange between a rickshaw driver and a passenger, highlighting class differences and the driver's attempts to earn a fair wage. The family's preparations for the wedding involve cleaning the house, with Reema insisting on doing it herself, possibly to hide something from her mother. Throughout the story, there's an underlying tension between the family's desire to appear wealthy and their financial situation. Overall, the story presents a humorous middle-class Pakistani society, focusing on themes of social mobility, the importance of appearances, family relationships, and the lengths people will go to impress others. The episodes of the show are available on YouTube.
