Naram Garam chronicles the hilarious exploits of a mad cap family. The matriarch (Ammaji) is senile, crazy and potentially dangerous. Her son is a retired Col, who wants to run his house much like his unit. Her grandson (Jay) is an aspiring writer down on his luck. He is however the object of the dumb-witted well meaning neighbor, Khadija. Jay's older sister is Maham, a hot tempered aspiring entrepreneur. She is married to the mad scientist Ibrahim, who has a very loose hold on reality. The household is rounded up by the sole servant, Amjad Khan. The less said about him the better.
