Plot[edit]
Jire Khursani portrays social problems suffered by everyday people with a comic punch. The show also features issues of polygamy; two wives of Shivahari Paudel live under the same roof with their children.
Jeetu Nepal plays Mundre (Mr. Ear-ring wearer) who says it with much pride that he is the first one in his entire family to have passed SLC. He wears a wool cap all year round and a lot of jewellery. The role of his father Asina Prasad (Mr. Hailstones) is played by Shivahari Paudel, who has a habit of saying "Mukhama Hannu Jasto" all the time. He has two wives out of which the latter one is the mother of Mundre. The other one is Chothale, whose son is Bhoke. Bhoke is a consummate eater and hungry all the time. He eats all the time and when not fed breaks into a fit of sobs.
Mama (maternal uncle) is played by Kiran K.C. who has a habit of saying "Eh Rata Makai" and was married to a rich Sherpa girl who merely uses him as an object of desire. Frustrated, the show takes crazy twists and revolves around a restless and noisy family. Rajaram Poudel has also special role as Thulo Bau (paternal uncle) of Mundre.
Asina Prasad is the main character. He makes the show interesting with his crooked attitude. He has many messes with law and other people and this show revolves in a plot of comedy by crookery.
