'Gullak 5' to be out on June 5
Mumbai, May 20
Popular family drama show 'Gullak' will be back with its fifth season soon.
On Wednesday, the makers announced the release date of the show. It will be start streaming on Sony LIV from June 5 onwards.
This season, Mishra Nivas isn't just getting an upgrade, it's getting a life update. A fresh coat of paint. A new Wi-Fi connection. And a family slowly (and sometimes reluctantly) trying to keep up with changing times. But while the world outside evolves, the little moments inside the house remain timeless, as per the press note.
Annu (now played by Anant Joshi) is "battling the familiar pressure of proving himself and the family, where ambition constantly wrestles with self-doubt."
Aman returns quieter than before, carrying secrets of his own. And Shanti unexpectedly finds herself enjoying a little spotlight, thanks to the online popularity of "Bittu Ki Mummy," in a world suddenly obsessed with being seen.
Talking about the new season, Vijay Koshy, President, TVF shared, "With every season, Gullak has only grown closer to audiences because the Mishras feel like a family we all know. Season 5 reflects the changing realities of middle-class India while holding onto the warmth and simplicity that make the show special. This season is about growth, change, and the bittersweet feeling of moving forward while staying connected to your roots."
Geetanjali Kulkarni said, "Shanti has always been the emotional anchor of the Mishra family, but this season audiences will see a slightly different side to her - one that's adapting to a rapidly changing world in her own unique way. What I love most about Gullak is how honestly it captures everyday life, and I think that's why people see themselves in these characters year after year."
Produced by The Viral Fever, the new season brings back the beloved ensemble featuring Jameel Khan, Geetanjali Kulkarni, Harsh Mayar, Sunita Rajwar, Helly Shah and Anant Joshi stepping into the role of Annu this season.

Oh man, Annu's character change is going to be interesting. The pressure of proving yourself while dealing with family expectations is something every Indian youth understands. Hope they do justice to the role transition.
Gullak is the kind of show you watch with your family on weekends. Simple, heartwarming, no unnecessary drama. Glad to see TVF is sticking to what they do best. 5th season already? Time flies!
As someone who grew up watching American sitcoms, it's refreshing to see Indian families portrayed with such authenticity. Gullak feels like visiting my own relatives' house in Lucknow. Bittu Ki Mummy going viral? That's going to be hilarious.
Honestly, I wish they'd release it on Netflix or Prime too. Sony LIV subscription is an extra expense. But knowing TVF, the content will be worth it. Just hope the writing stays as sharp as earlier seasons.
