The story of Parchi revolves around a group of friends who find themselves in trouble when one receives a ‘Parchi’ from the gangster he owes money to, and what follows is a series of comical situations, and a full-fledged rollercoaster ride. It is a situational comedy that revolves around gangsters, and highlights the parchi system in Pakistan without any serious undertones.
