In the new season of the heartwarming TVF series, we see our favourite Mishra family tackling different problems but with the same amount love, humour, sincerity and emotions.
While Shanti (Geetanjali Kulkarni) learns to love herself, her husband Santosh (Jameel Khan) almost decides to accept a bribe but gets saved by Amrit wali kheer.
Their elder son Annu (Vaibhav Raj Gupta) is unemployed, but he tries hard to establish himself in every way possible.
Annu's younger brother Aman, on the other hand, is getting ready for his board exams.
Though he comes across as naive and foolish sometimes, Aman really is the dark horse here.
The problems this middle-class family faces is something we have all been through.
So the script isn't extraordinary, but it is very relatable and perfectly executed. That makes Gullak 2 an enjoyable watch.
Every character has been etched out beautifully and they all bring something magical on screen.
