"Panchak" is a comedy that explores the consequences faced by a family when an elder passes away during an inauspicious celestial alignment known as Panchak. This cosmic event is believed to bring unfortunate events, including the predicted demise of five family members in the following year. The narrative delves into how individuals attempt to reverse these ominous predictions, using superstition and fear as a comedic backdrop. The story humorously unfolds as characters navigate and defy the perceived negative cosmic influence, offering a lighthearted take on the intersection of tradition, belief, and the absurdity of trying to control fate.
