PLOT: "Jhamela Unlimited" is a comedy daily soap where a variety of dialects are reflected upon. The story starts with Mosharraf Karim as a pickpocket who seems to be struggling in terms of morality within his subconscious self. Although the show has a long list of casts, the focus seems to be at Mosharraf Karim due to his role of an unusual good-hearted pickpocket. The plot opens up with an unfruitful couple who allows young people to stay in their house as a paying guest but that soon results into a houseful of chaos. The landlady is a strict woman and her tenants are always engaged in disruption making her more crotchety than ever.

REVIEW: The verbal cat fights between Prova and Sonia are not be missed in the story. Prova's acting especially in terms of her dialects in the show is an absolute treat for the viewers. Even her makeup is different than usual, which projects her with a different personality compared to the roles she did in the past. The acting of the cast is very naturalistic and it holds as their strongest remark for the show. However, at times it might be a bit confusing for the audience to understand the dialects that are used. The only comprehensible dialects were the prominent dialects of Noakhali, Barisal and Chatgaiya, and even though the content might be funny it gets difficult for the audience to laugh at the sarcasm. Too many dialects have been used at the same time which seems to be puzzling as well.

The theme song of the show is very catchy and has a good beat to it as the lyrics sums up the context too. Overall, a kind of comedy soap like "Jhamela Unlimited" is a fair and exciting one to watch with family members without getting bored at all.
