Gullak Season 4: Some shows make you happy and calm and take you back on a sense of sweet and nostalgic journey and one of those shows is TVF’s Gullak as the show dives in to tell the story and chronicles of a middle-class Mishra family and their share of struggles and chaos, it takes you back to moments and laughter that you have shared with your family. 

From the dynamic between the husband and wife to the gossip-loving firstborn son to the relationship between the two siblings and their fights to the love between the family. Everything about the show seeps in the sweetness of love and middle-class chaos which makes them an emotion for everyone watching.

 Here are the moments that make your parivaar connect to Mishra parivaar. 

 

        1. Tehri Nahi ‘Disappointment’. 

Every time Anu complains about the food “ Mummy Fir sae wohi .. aalu daalke peele chawal .. “ 

“Tehri bolte hain usse …” 

“Tehri nahi disappointment bolte hai usse!” 

The relatability that every Indian kid felt when they saw Shanti Mishra once again cook ‘Tehri’ and the collective roar of ‘disappointment’ that followed behind is something every middle-class family felt. 

 

      2. ‘Fail hi toh huye ho …’ 

 

The emotional turmoil that Annu faced after not clearing the SSC competitive exams and thinking that his mother Shanti Mishra fainted because of his result connected with every student who is burdened with expectations and fears of disappointing their parents. The reaction of parents makes this moment so special because it's just real, raw and simple.  

 

     

          3. “Zindagi thodi ruk jati hain” 

 

They are angry but they aren’t disappointed. Their son’s efforts matter more than the result, every child wants this reassurance to fear the future a little less. “ Mehnati aadmi ho, kuch na kuch zaroor karloge.” 

      4. ‘Hum apne liye magaye hain yeh milti’ 

 

The outburst of Shanti Mishra after the whole family was on her head to change her routine after the diagnosis of Diabetes, as sweet as it was to watch the three men of the family find their way into the kitchen and juggle it all. It also connected all the housewives and mothers out there, who silently work for years without ever doing anything for themselves to the mother onscreen. 

Shanti ordering Mixi for herself was a heartfelt decision that brought us a little more closer to her and our mothers. 

“Kya tum log badal paaoge apna routine?” 

 

       5. ‘Thoda na duri kam karna padega’ 

 

One of the best moments of the show was when you see Anu and his father after an argument in frustration. The family is trying to get a ‘happy’ family picture and you see the father and son at a distance, Anu not being able to close off the distance between them and Mishra Ji bringing him closer, ending the rift, making Anu weep and the whole family emotional. 

It made all the sons who aren't able to close this distance between their fathers and themselves wipe the tears secretly in the corner, because in the end, every father-son wants to do that, just that. 

You see a happy family, irrespective of their struggles and issues, emotions, you see them together just like your families, they also end up finding their way back to each other.

 

       6. ‘Humari ladki ko doubt hain’

 

You see Shanti Mishra explaining to the family why the marriage proposal of Phurtili shouldn’t happen and in that moment every woman who faced criticism for something as silly as her name felt that. The importance of acceptance in marriage and between two people and how important it is to understand that a woman isn’t just a piece of furniture that can be altered to everyone’s liking. Her identity, good or bad should be accepted because ‘har jawab ladki ko hi nahi dena chahiye.’ 

 

       7. ‘Tum kabhi soche ho, papa nahi hoge toh iss ghar ka kya hoga’ 

           ‘Esse hi jaate hain log, koi kisi ko kuch nahi bata ke jaata’ 

 

After Santosh Mishra suffered a heart attack amidst the suspension fiasco, we see the whole family under stress, the way Anu handled the family and took responsibility as the eldest brother and how he had this deep sense of fear and realisation of responsibility ‘Bade hain, saari zimdari bhi uthalenge’ every eldest sibling who had to grow up a little early felt that feeling, those emotions. 

And every child felt that fear of losing their parents, of not knowing where any of them stands without that one thread tying them together.  

Gullak managed to tie all these real-life emotions between its stories and presented us with this slice of drama that managed to bring families back together on the sofa to watch the show and find their experiences, laughter and a source of togetherness in the tales of this family living the small town life.
