Netflix’s Chumbak Trailer Previews Chaotic Neighbourhood Family Comedy
Chumbak is a new comedy series about five families who live very close to one another.
Their neighbours know almost everything happening in their lives.
This means that private problems quickly become community problems.
The trailer shows arguments, parenting troubles, romance, celebrations and lots of gossip.
These ordinary situations turn funny because everyone gets involved.
The families also eat, drink, laugh and face difficulties together.
The show tries to recreate the warm feeling of older neighbourhoods while using a modern setting.
Aatish Kapadia and Jamnadas Majethia helped create the series.
Chumbak will premiere on Netflix on September 10.
Netflix released the 2-minute-16-second Chumbak trailer on August 26 ahead of its September 10 premiere.
