Coming Up: Adha Cup

Coming Up is a season of seven original half-hour dramas made for Channel 4 by the UK's most exciting emerging film makers. This year's season kicks off with Adha Cup, a stylish black and white comedy in Urdu about Ash and Shahid: two lazy and bored social workers who reluctantly agree to reunite the cast of a legendary amateur Bollywood musical, Pappa Kehta Hain to be restaged at the Pakistan Centre where they work. In their search for the old cast members, they encounter a singing barber, a villainous butcher and an over-acting taxi driver, and along the way they reconnect with their enthusiasm for life, love and family. But unless they can track down the elusive hero, Sajid Hussain, the show can't go on. With English subtitles.
