ZEE5 premieres 'Babbar Ka Tabbar'

Close on the heels of the successful launch of Zero KMS, ZEE5- India’s digital entertainment platform for multilingual entertainment, released yet another unmissable series, a light humoured family entertainer– Babbar Ka Tabbar.

Babbar Ka Tabbar reflects the times that we live in, and addresses the generation gap between today’s youth and their parents in a quirky way.

Watch out for the ultimate generation battle. The series showcases a Punjabi family, the Babbars and their daily life struggles while trying to maintain sanity.

Their saviour is their tenant Jamia played by Anshuman Jha, who becomes the sutradhaar between the parents and the kids. Jamia provides solutions to everyday issues in the lives of the Babbars.

The 12-episode series set in Delhi is launching in 2 parts and stars Manu Rishi, Anshuman Jha, Ayesha Raza, Avneet Kaur and Bhavin Bhanushali, who portray quirky and loveable characters.

A ‘trying too hard to be cool’ father, an over-protective mother, a socially-awkward son, an overconfident daughter and a good-for-nothing paying guest cum family therapist- all these characters come together to make the series, a masala entertainer.

LSD (Love, Sex aur Dhoka) fame Anshuman Jha, on his first web series says, “It has been really exciting working with seasoned actors like Manu Rishi and Ayesha Raza. Babbar ka Tabbar is fresh, relatable and a fun to watch series, something I have never attempted before. I can’t wait to find out the audience’s reaction to the show.”

Manish Aggarwal, Chief Marketing Officer, ZEE5 India said, “After Life Sahi Hai 2, here is another mass entertainer from our OC stable, and we are confident that the Babbars and Jamia will be loved as much as the rest of our characters. Since our launch, we have been registering viewers from across the country who are seeking entertainment and are willing to pay for it. This is in keeping with the content
strategy we have carefully chalked out for ZEE5, and viewers have much to look forward to in the coming months. In a first, we will also be offering the first two episodes of Babbar ka Tabbar free for
non-subscribers; we are confident that this binge watch-worthy series will have the viewer hooked.”

Speaking about the show, Victor Mukherjee, producer of the show, said, “We are excited about partnering with ZEE5 on a format that is unique and has loads of desi tadka. Babbar Ka Tabbar is a light-
hearted, funny and entertaining show which is perfect for an entertaining binge-watching experience. It has been an absolute pleasure working with such brilliant actors. We do hope the viewers enjoys
watching it as much as we enjoyed making it.”
