Gullak – Season 1 introduces viewers to the Mishra family: Santosh (the calm father), Shanti (the outspoken mother), Annu (the elder son preparing for exams), and Aman (the mischievous younger son). Set in a small North Indian town, the five-episode season explores mundane yet touching moments of everyday life — from quarreling over chores to striving for dreams amid financial constraints. Narrated by the family’s humble clay piggy bank, the show cleverly uses humour and nostalgia to highlight what it means to be part of a middle-class Indian family, where love, conflict, aspirations, and small victories are part of daily life. Its grounded storytelling and strong performances have made it one of India’s most beloved family dramas on OTT platforms.

Although Gullak feels like a perfect slice-of-life story, the show’s creators didn’t even know for sure if Season 1 would ever find a platform to release on when they were shooting it. The cast and crew worked for months without confirmation of distribution, unsure if audiences would get to see the finished product — yet it went on to become one of India’s most beloved and highly rated family dramas on streaming.
