Gullak season 2 (2019)
|
TVF/SonyLIV
The same family, the same actors, the same producer and the same theme music but a different set of creators – this makes all the difference between the two seasons of the SonyLIV series
Gullak.
The TVF show’s first season layered its miniaturised portrait of an average middle class family in a generic north Indian city with charm and wit. Directed by Amrit Raj Gupta and beautifully written by Nikhil Vijay Motghare,
Gullak mined the profound from the trivial over five crisp but juicy episodes. The 2019 series focused on the minor-major pleasures of family life – the molehills that momentarily loom into mountains; the shared glee over the latest exploit of the overbearing next-door neighbour; the ability to overcome big problems with small displays of love and understanding.
