Akoori

When Dara, a 55 year old bigot, in the midst of trying to protect his property from the hungry clutches of his cousin and hotel industry agent Zeus, finds out about his wife's comatose situation, he is forced to invite his children, who blatantly despise him and vice versa. What ensues is a drama wrapped in tragic hilarity when the dysfunctional Irani family realize that it will take a lot more than a common last name to survive under one roof.

Directed by Nikhil Venugopalan, Harsh Dedhia, Akoori leans on a strong ensemble — Lillete Dubey, Kurush Deboo, Shadab Kamal — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2018.
