## Synopsis

Shabad - Reet aur Riwaaz (2026) is a short Indian Hindi-language family drama series created by Jayati Pandya for ZEE5. Set in a tight-knit Punjabi household, the story follows Ghuppi, a stammering teenager played by Mihir Ahuja, who secretly chases his dream of football while being pressed to uphold the family's devotional music tradition. His revered ragi singer father, Harminder, played by Suvinder Vicky, expects his son to carry on the family calling, and the pull between them drives the series. Taranjit Kaur plays Manjot, and Maahi Raj Jain plays Ginni, adding warmth and friction to the household. The series runs for a single season of six episodes, each about thirty-one minutes, and builds steadily as tensions rise and both father and son must confront what they owe one another. Its tone is gentle, sincere and family-centred, with emotional honesty about identity, speech, and duty. Its intimate, domestic scale and quiet atmosphere will appeal to viewers who enjoy Bend It Like Beckham and character-driven Indian family dramas.
