Passwala is an adaptation of the late Jayant Pawar’s Mulakat, centered around a Smashan Ghar (crematorium) keeper.

How do families cope with their lives in a crematorium? What is their state of mind after witnessing bodies, day after day? Do happy occasions like childbirth and marriage ever take place in such a setting? How do people living there ward off evil spirits?

Passwala is set in a crematorium and deeply reflects the vagaries of life.
