Style

His body of work is a showcase of the storyteller's art. The humor in his scripts is real. He never exaggerate the subject and use real life humor. One can see an undercurrent of social issues in his screenplays but with the treatment, laced with humor. He is fascinated in the satirical way Mushtaq Ahmad Yusufi dealt with serious issues. Desi Rants n Raves wrote "Mohammed Ahmed is a seasoned writer and his flair for penning relatable and real stories is on full display in most of his work. With no black or white extremes, a simple story on the surface, his script appears to have layers of meaning embedded within crisp and meaningful dialogues." [2]
