Having moved to the city of Khojpuri to pursue his scientific investigations into the uses of onions, Hunsilal soon discovers a novel way to tackle mosquitoes, and is celebrated by Raja Bhadrabhoop. However, he soon learns that things may not be as they seem, that the mosquitoes may not be the pests (or even the insects) he once assumed them to be, as he gets drawn into an undercurrent of revolution and discovery, precipitated by his burgeoning love for his colleague Parveen. Inspired by the traditional Gujarati Bhavai, 'Hun Hunsi Hunsilal' is interwoven with an absurdist, innovative soundtrack and presents a satirical, modern day tragic fable about fascism, revolution and the power of stories, all shot beautifully, in what is one of India's most powerful and relevant films to date.

Inspired by the famous Gujarati column Duniya Ne Undha Chasma by Taarak Mehta, this show captures the everyday life in Gokuldham Co-operative Society, addressing socially relevant issues with humor. At its heart is Jethalal, an uneducated Gujarati businessman, who often seeks guidance from his wise neighbor and friend, Taarak Mehta. Jethalal lives with his naive yet lovable wife Daya Ben and their mischievous son Tapu, whose antics frequently disrupt the peace of the society. The members often warn Jethalal to control Tapu or face eviction. In desperation, he calls his father, Champaklal, from the village, hoping he’ll instill discipline in Tapu. Instead, the grandfather-grandson duo teams up, creating even more chaos and turning Jethalal’s life into a comedic roller coaster. The show blends family dynamics, friendship, and neighborhood bonds with a dose of satire and laughter.
