Review of Gullak 4: A lovely, sentimental, and somewhat mature reunion of the Mishra family
Do you recall how it felt to hold a cup of tea on a chilly afternoon? or sipping some lemon water under the sun? That’s how Gullak 4 makes you feel.
Review of Gullak season 4: Is it worth it? The hectic yet endearing lives of the Mishra family return in the fourth installment of the SonyLiv dramamedy. They return this time, more conflicted and mature.
The most recent season succeeds in winning you over once more thanks to strong writing and effortless performances from the main actors.
When the OTT industry was beginning to make inroads into the Indian entertainment scene in 2019, we were first introduced to the world of Gullak.
It was comforting to read about the Mishra family as they navigated life in a middle-class home in a tiny village in North India. The SonyLiv show provided a respite from the content that was heavy on crime, drama, gore, foul language, and nudity for the whole family to enjoy together. And even in the fourth edition, the creators were able to maintain such cosiness.
The family and I re-connect as they move forward in life. This time, younger brother Aman (played by Harsh Mayar) is rebelling as a teenager, while curly-haired Annu (Vaibhav Raj Gupta) is attempting to deal with her career challenges as a medical representative. Additionally, Sunita Rajwar, commonly known as “Bittu ki mummy,” lives next door and brightens the scene each time she walks in.
Santosh Mishra (Jameel Khan) is the family’s father, and he struggles to raise his children appropriately. His wife Shanti (Geetanjali Kulkarni) serves as the family’s pillar and keeps them all together. The arguing, eccentricities, and fervour to find happiness in little things of life.
Conflict between being an adult and a parent
This time, the narrative takes viewers on a journey as the parents look for the best parenting style and the children attempt to accept the changes in their environment. Because it approaches more complex themes with sensitivity in a lighter mood, this season can be considered the riskiest one.
Nothing extremely profound or difficult can be found in this story, from observing their son’s developing disobedience to dealing with snoopy neighbours to the difficulty of offering a bribe. However, universality triumphs over particular. It is distinct because it is filled with essential topics and a central parental relationship that many people can relate to.
With a touch of nostalgia and fun, the writing is eminently readable and skillfully done. This time, Vidit Tripathi is the show’s writer. Shreyansh Pandey created the show. It’s lovely that the tale doesn’t feel jumbled even though the season has a new writer.
In terms of the story, each of the four main characters has a well-rounded character journey. It doesn’t get overly dramatic, but there is more drama, twists, and highs and lows in terms of feeling.
The cast’s on-screen chemistry remains the strongest feature of the show to this day. They establish a connection with the audience by effortlessly assuming their roles.
Beneath all the laughing and a fantastic day out, there is a deep drama woven by the characters’ real honesty and fragility. One of the primary features is the chemistry and banter between the siblings.
The fourth section features fantastic comedic punchlines, a compelling plot, and don’t miss the insightful narration by a Gullak (voiced by Shivankit Singh Parihar).
In fact, there are several allusions to earlier seasons throughout the version, which helps viewers remember them in a positive light.
Beneath all the fun and laughter, there’s a serious drama woven by the genuine vulnerability and honesty of the characters. The sibling relationship and banter is one of the main characteristics.
Great comic punchlines, an engaging story, and an intelligent narration by a Gullak (voiced by Shivankit Singh Parihar) can all be found in the fourth portion.
In reality, the version makes multiple references to previous seasons, which helps viewers recall them favourably.
Though it doesn’t ruin the fun, there’s an increasing feeling that the show’s creators are purposefully making it more sentimental, which makes you keep reaching for the tissue box.
It is evident that the show is gradually straying from its straightforward plot in an effort to explore more intricate and dramatic themes, increasing the degree of danger involved.

Review of House of the Dragon Season 2 Episode 1: A solid, albeit sluggish, comeback with more discussion and less action
There are high hopes for House of the Dragon’s nearly two-year return. The first season of the prequel series to Game of Thrones raised the bar by placing viewers squarely in the thick of action and including rich character development spanning about 20 years in the Dance of the Dragons. The second season picks up just after the horrific events of the first, in which Prince Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell) and his dragon killed Rhaenyra Targaryen’s (Emma D’Arcy) youngest son, Lucerys (Elliot Mitchell). Now, intent or lack thereof is irrelevant. There’s been bloodshed, and the fallout will be far bloodier.
Fans of Game of Thrones may be reminded of the strategic war table scenes in which the protagonists scheme and plot in poorly lit interiors and consult council to choose the best course of action in the first episode of the second season, “A Son for a Son.” This time around, viewers should anticipate a more engaging comeback if the first episode is any guide. To be honest, it’s a pleasant diversion from the previous season’s unrelenting presentation of the developing conflict between the Blacks and the Greens. This season seems to be taking a much more methodical approach, focusing primarily on the internal conflicts. Peace is undoubtedly unattainable, but in the pursuit for revenge, what also meets the eye is the reclamation of power, and the expression of grief.
Emma D’Arcy is fierce from the moment they first appear, adding a hint of melancholy and sorrow to the cunning world of things. However, Daemon (Matt Smith) is not to be trusted because he has his own ideas about who will succeed him. He doesn’t understand why pursuing retribution must wait when it may be completed right away. He reasons, “The mother grieves as the queen shirks her duties.” Additionally, Alicent (Olivia Cooke) and her daughter Helaena (Phia Saban) need to go beyond being remorseful spectators. By the end of this grim tale, we realise exactly why Helaena says she is afraid of rats.
The first episode immerses viewers in the discussions and betrayals that take place in the council chambers and chambers. It takes a confident and poised stride towards intensifying hostilities. While some viewers may be taken aback by showrunner Ryan Condal’s approach, which emphasises character-driven intrigue over grand schemes and spectacular action scenes in the beginning of the season, the show delves deeply into themes of war, betrayal, and legacy. We do get a deeper look at the hopelessness and inner demons of these men who pleasure in killing and retaliation, which makes the first episode promising even though it is a little too inconsistent and constrained for its own benefit. Even now, the first episode is personal and moving, laying the necessary groundwork for the battles that will inevitably follow as the season develops.
