## Synopsis

Gullak (2019-2026) is an Indian Hindi-language family comedy-drama created by Nikhil Vijay and Shreyansh Pandey for SonyLIV, produced by The Viral Fever. Set in quaint by-lanes across India, the show follows the Mishra household, centred on the everyday life of a middle class father Santosh Mishra (Jameel Khan) and his wife Shanti Mishra (Geetanjali Kulkarni), with their children Aman (Harsh Mayar) and Anand Annu (Vaibhav Raj Gupta) at the heart of its small domestic dramas. Their engine is ordinary life itself: money worries, school pressures, neighbourhood rivalries and the quiet frictions of a crowded home, each half-hour episode built from a modest incident that grows into something tender and funny. The show runs across five seasons of short, self-contained tales that still accumulate into a continuing family portrait, and the title refers to the clay savings box that stands in for the household's hopes. Its tone is gentle, nostalgic and sincere, with a wry humour that never tips into cruelty. Fans of The Wonder Years, Everybody Loves Raymond and Permanent Roommates will find resonance in its warm, observational take on everyday family life.
