Ghanchakkar – Comedy Play

Ghanchakkar, staged at Studio 2 of the Arts Council of Pakistan in Karachi, is a laugh-out-loud Urdu farce presented under the banner of the World Culture Festival – Karachi 2026, directed by Farhan Rahim. The play centres on a shy accountant who, on his way home, picks up the wrong briefcase — one packed with a fortune in cash. What follows is a spiralling evening of chaotic visitors (Arsal and Noreen), a persistent taxi driver, and two suspicious police detectives. Hysterical lies and frantic identity swaps pile on until the situation spins completely out of control. Genre: Farce Comedy Language: Urdu Duration: 60 minutes Festival context: The World Culture Festival – Karachi 2026 runs from 29 October to 22 November 2026. Registration: Entry is free for all, but registration is mandatory. Register through the Arts Council of Pakistan.
