Directed by Ali Mehdi, Kachrachi follows the story of a homeless madman essayed by Nazar Ul Hasan, who lives under a city bridge. The title of the short, Kachrachi is basically a combination of the Urdu word kachra (trash) and the city Karachi and sarcastically highlights social issues that have been overlooked by its people.
