Express Delivers a Rare Treat With Mohalla
Let’s admit it, we don’t tune in to Express for dramas very often. But Mohalla is a chaotic caper that stands out. A neighborhood is full of well-meaning characters eager to gossip about everything from upcoming marriages to sudden scandals. Their chatter is never mean-spirited, and the humor...
