The beloved Mishra family is preparing to welcome audiences back into their world as 'Gullak' gears up for its fifth season. Known for its heartwarming portrayal of middle-class life, the series has built a loyal fan base through its relatable characters, everyday struggles, and nostalgic storytelling. The upcoming season promises another dose of humour, family drama, and emotional moments that have become the show's trademark.
'Gullak' Season 5's trailer offers a peek into changing households
The recently unveiled trailer takes audiences back to the cosy surroundings of the Mishra home. Familiar elements such as the neatly stacked steel containers, the trusty cooler, and Santosh Mishra's constant concern about electricity bills instantly bring back the show's signature charm.
However, the trailer also hints that life is evolving for the family. The house sports a fresh new look, and modern additions like a Wi-Fi connection suggest that the Mishras are gradually embracing change.
Despite these updates, the essence of the show remains intact, with family banter, dinner-table discussions, small disagreements, and touching moments continuing to take centre stage.
Annu faces a major turning point
One of the biggest story arcs teased in the trailer revolves around Annu Mishra. The eldest son appears to be standing at a crossroads as he considers moving into a separate apartment.
This development signals a major shift for the family and is expected to bring a mix of emotions. As the children mature and begin charting their own paths, the season is likely to delve into themes of independence, responsibility, ambition, and self-discovery. The emotional challenge of growing up while staying connected to family roots seems set to become one of the defining threads of the new season.
New face steps into Annu's shoes
Season 5 introduces a notable casting update with actor Anant V. Joshi taking over the role of Annu Mishra. The character was previously portrayed by Vaibhav Raj Gupta in earlier seasons. The ensemble cast continues to feature Jameel Khan as Santosh Mishra, Geetanjali Kulkarni as Shanti Mishra, Harsh Mayar as Aman Mishra, and Sunita Rajwar as the ever-entertaining Bittu Ki Mummy. The series also stars Shivankit Singh Parihar, Gopal Dutt, Manuj Sharma, and Helly Shah in important roles.
