Oye Hoye has turned out to be the epitome of a tension free life where stresses simply roll by. It is unique and highly appealing appearance is considered as one of the absolute freedom in face of toughness of a young person and carefree life.
Oochi, which is the mascot for Oye Hoye is now widely known for his exceptional brand of style and comedy. The role is commendably played by Fawad Khan, curly haired, tracksuit, aviator donning hero depicts an incredible persona that amalgamates epic fails and tall tales. Always trying to one up the rest of the world, Oochi finds himself on the weird side of things quite often. This naïve character along with his iconic afro appeared with Fawad Khan’s own input on set to inform the world that it is time to be tension free no matter how many curveballs life targets and throws at you. One of Oochi’s many quirks is a face which shows that his life might be Oye but in chips, he always keeps Oye Hoye as his first preference. The world of Oochi soon turns the same for its customers as his amusing behavior never ceases to create a captivating juxtaposition between reality and expectation. From ‘Oye Hoye’ (great) to “Oye” (not so great), Oochi brings up his own amazing flavor to every situation even though he always finds himself at the wrong end of certain things.
