OTT Giant Netflix dropped the teaser of their next series “Chumbak” . The series features Neena Sumeet Vyas. It’s a new original series that turns the spotlight on neighbourhood life and the bonds that quietly shape everyday living. The series offers a glimpse into a world driven by shared meals, laughter, arguments, tears, and enduring companionship.
Set in an old row-house neighbourhood in Mumbai, Chumbak explores a space where neighbours are more than polite acquaintances. The series follows five families whose lives are closely intertwined, forming a surrogate family over time. Anchored by a young author and an eccentric family support group, the narrative captures moments of humour, vulnerability, and collective resilience as the characters navigate life’s everyday challenges together.
The makers calls Chumbak as a return to the warmth of community living. Sharing their excitement, the team behind the series said, “they are much excited to eventually introduce Chumbak to the world. This has been a truly collaborative journey, with an infectious energy on set that came from working so closely together every day. That spirit has translated beautifully on screen, and we can’t wait for audiences to experience Chumbak on Netflix this year.”
The series is written and directed by Aatish Kapadia, with Jamnadas (JD) Majethia serving as producer. Acknowledged for their work rooted in everyday relationships and family dynamics, the creative team brings a familiar yet reflective tone to the show’s storytelling.
