Ahead of release of Gullak 3, Geetanjali says comedy’s simplicity makes it one of the few OTT series that a family can watch together
Geetanjali Kulkarni with Jameel Khan in Gullak
Those who have seen Gullak will agree that there’s a distinct charm to it. In telling the everyday struggles of the Mishra family, the series will leave you chuckling sometimes, and at other times, misty-eyed. Ready to roll out the third season, Geetanjali Kulkarni — who plays Shanti Mishra, the sharp-tongued mother — says the comedy is a breath of fresh air in Indian digital entertainment that is overpopulated with whodunits. “Right now, there are few shows on OTT that a family can watch together. Many have told us this is the only show [fit for family viewing]. I feel Gullak has the flavour and humour of Basu Chatterjee’s movies. The simplicity in storytelling connects with the audience,” she says.

The upcoming instalment of the SonyLIV series — also starring Jameel Khan, Vaibhav Raj Gupta and Harsh Mayar — takes the story forward after elder son Annu fails to land a job while younger son Aman passes his examination with flying colours. To Kulkarni, it is heartening to see how the central characters have evolved over the three editions. “The show has an honest and compelling storyline, which aligns with its relatable characters. These individual [tracks] will be explored in greater depth this season. The characters have matured in different aspects, and that reflects in how they handle things.”
