Mr Bordbaar and his son are careless people and Kamran is the only person who does any work at the company. Kamran is a shy, hard-working and stranger to the Bordbaar family. Kamran is also in love with Nazi, Bordbaar's daughter, who is in love with her old fiance. Kamran is too shy to show his feelings for Nazi. Kamran's dad "Mozzafar Khan Zargande" is a Khan who lives his life like old Tehran Khans.
Kamran also has a sister Forough Khanoom, who is snobby, spoiled and does whatever she likes to do. She is a widow, and her past husbands have been killed by strange accidents that have something to do with how mean she is. They also have a servant, named "Heyfe Naan" which means "worthless". He craves abuse from his masters. They also have a sloppy, worthless lawyer, who is trying to get the family to sell the garden. According to Jamshid, the lawyer, Tehran is going to have a highway that runs through the garden and they should sell it before the price drops drastically. The Zargande family live in a huge garden which is shared by Mozzafar Khan's Cousin, Mansour Khan. Mansour Khan, suffers from short term memory-loss, hates his cousin, and is old with no family of his own. The story will go on about Kamran in pursue of his love.
Criticisms against this series
Mehran Modiri is considered one of the greatest satire directors in Iran. He has made popular series like Pavarchin and Shabhaye Barareh. His work in Baghe Mozaffar has also received some criticism.
Among their criticism are:
- The series has more advertisements than his previous series.
- The characters of Baghe Mozaffar are not real, they are all imaginary, which is not the case for Shabhare Barare.
- There were ample recommendations about paying tax, fish-eating, and reducing gas consumption.
