Five families, one neighbourhood and plenty of everyday chaos — Chumbak is coming to OTT with a feel-good story that blends humour, family drama and relatable moments.
The series explores how neighbours living side by side can slowly become one big extended family.
What Is Chumbak About?
Chumbak is set in Chumbak Colony, a lively Mumbai neighbourhood where five families live side by side. Their homes, celebrations and everyday problems are closely connected, so even a small incident can quickly become a matter for the entire community.
The series explores marriage, parenting, friendship and neighbourhood bonds, while showing how neighbours slowly become an extended family. With plenty of gossip, misunderstandings, celebrations and everyday chaos, the show brings a light-hearted take on modern family and community life.
Its tagline, "Paanch padosi, dus dost aur anginat hungame (Five neighbours, ten friends and endless fun)", sums up the show's central theme.
