Khajawa and Son (begun in 1985) is a comedy serial that revolves around Khawaja sahib (played by Ali Ejaz) and his son Jawad. As a father, Khawaja sahib is quick to catch on to any mistake or wrong step his son takes and is ever ready to correct him. His major correction tool is twisting the ears of his son, who is a full grown adult. With his father not giving him much room to breathe and his nine sisters continuously placing demands on him, there is not much fun out there for Jawad. Fortunately, Jawad's loss is our gain as the products of these interactions, the comical scenes and situations, are a treat to watch.
This drama is for those who appreciate principles, family values, and respect for elders, and above all have an insatiable appetite for fun and humor. Khawaja and Son makes for light viewing, isn't taxing on the brain and therefore can be viewed over and over again.
Ali Ejaz's comical role as Khawaja sahib is a revelation. His dialogue delivery is quite exceptional, especially when he suddenly switches to speaking in English (broken and forced); this is a source of much amusement for the viewers.
