Vipul Mehta wrote and directed the direct-to-digital comedy drama. It also features pivotal performances by the late comedian Raju Srivastava, Piyush Mishra, Alka Amin, and Rajiv Gupta.
‘Kanjoos Makhichoos’ tells the story of the Pandey family, a middle-class family from Lucknow.
‘Kanjoos Makhichoos’ is the story of Jamnaprasad Pandey (Kunal Khemu), who is infamous in the town of Deoria, Uttar Pradesh as a miser. His parents, Gangaprasad Pandey (Piyush Mishra) and Saraswati Pandey (Alka Amin), wife Madhuri (Shweta Tripathi), and son Krish are fed up with Jamna’s penny-pinching habits.
Manish Kalra, Chief Business Officer, ZEE5 India said “Kanjoos Makhichoos” is a unique and refreshing story.
“It is a refreshing story with light-hearted humor, entertainment and a sweet message. Also, the talented cast led by Kunal Kemmu and Piyush Mishra has done a great job at delivering entertainment with their pitch-perfect comic timing. We hope that our viewers will have fun watching this family entertainer,” Kalra said.
