The story revolves around a group of students living at 420 Petticoat Lane. Shafiq, a student from Bangladesh, is dazzled by the fact that he is finally in London, the city of his dreams. He is welcomed to East London by Rahat, the ever-optimistic busybody who seems more interested in making money than studying. At 420 Petticoat Lane, we also find everyone's favorite :Genius da, a responsible and yet comical character who holds everyone in their places.

Then there is Opu, who is studious and ambitious and who also has affairs of the heart. Adding colour to the story is Tisha and Sally who live in the flat above, and who in their own distinct styles, are out to win the world. The story captures the complex, hard and sometimes comic, side of life in the Bangladeshi student community.

420 Petticoat Lane has been produced by Londone Filmz, a company recently floated by writer and journalist Muneera Parbeen and popular TV presenter and actor Arif Islam. This is their first production, and marks the directorial debut of Muneera Parbeen. The film has been produced in association with Redmark Films.
