National Artist of the USSR award for his works, is celebrated as one of the founders of the Uzbek film making industry.[4][5]

Plot

The events in Mahallada duv-duv gap occur in a

mahalla — a traditional Uzbek neighborhood — in an old part of Tashkent
at a time when big-scale construction works are taking place. The movie humorously depicts the relationships between traditional parents and their modern children.

Script

The script for the film was originally written in Russian. However, Shuhrat Abbosov wanted to make the film in the Uzbek language. Just one day before the start of production, he asked the renowned Uzbek author Abdulla Qahhor to translate the script. Qahhor was in hospital at the time. He translated the dialogues in the script in two hours sitting on a bench in front of the hospital. Abdulla Qahhor is credited as a translator and an editor in the movie.
