Four More Shots Please!

It takes dangerous things and makes it cute. In season two, journalist Damini Rizvi Roy (Sayani Gupta) wrote a scathing book that got banned and became a ...

That it is consumed, for whatever reason, in whatever way, in whatever state, is enough. Their destiny — read: the sudden emergence of characters towards the end of the show, sweeping other characters off — is just as dull. In that sense, this third season is the worst of the three. While the show remains committed to centering female desire, bringing in a shirtless, ab-textured Jim Sarbh to fill the hole created by the exit of a shirtless, ab-textured Milind Soman, the sex in it has begun to look sweet, not sweaty. (Though, in the show’s defense, we do see a rat make an appearance, swiping its way across the screen.) This is not a criticism as much as it is an invitation to ask — can we make luxe shows without making luxury look so fitted, staged, and uncomfortably inhabited? The show takes the idea of an adda, a safe space, a run-down part of a garage-like posh bar, and makes it designer friendly. All four are working women who have the luxury of just jetting off to Punjab for a friend at a moment’s notice, who don’t seem to have the concept of a weekday or a weekend, everything blurring into their bubble of luxury. Stand-up comic Siddhi ( [Maanvi Gagroo](https://www.filmcompanion.in/topic/maanvi-gagroo/)) is dealing with the death of her father and the newfound freedom of her widowed mother (Simone Shah). [Bani J](https://www.filmcompanion.in/topic/bani-j/)) is reeling from a broken engagement. Damini is shaded by the grief of miscarrying. Lawyer Anjana ( [Kirti Kulhari](https://www.filmcompanion.in/topic/kirti-kulhari/)) is struggling with single motherhood. This is not the kind of liberal belief that comes from challenging ideological limitations, but the kind that feels comfortable to flaunt and convenient to wield as a whiny weapon.

Amazon Prime video's Four More Shots Please! is a show about four grown-up, flawed women who seem to make the mistakes men have been getting away with in ...

It is binge-worthy, especially on the weekend, with probably your girl gang and some bubbly. The episodes are roughly 34-minutes-long, tighter editing could have really helped give it a desi Sex and the City vibe. But as it is often the case, powerful families too can be messy, and heirs even more so. Whether it’s Anjana establishing workplace boundaries with Shashank, or Umang figuring out how to create boundaries in casual relationships, setting up and honouring boundaries prove to be a mammoth task for all the characters. Siddhi is probably the one dealing extreme anger and the consequences of her terrible choices. And the four women, barring Umang (Bani J) to an extent, are extremely privileged.

Review: The four ladies, played by Kirti Kulhari, Sayani Gupta, Maanvi Gagroo, and Bani J, raise a toast in one of the scenes, "Here's to f***ing up ...

This takes up the whole season and midway kind of becomes annoying, but better than the others. This time around, the makers focused more on Siddhi as she's coming to terms with the untimely death of her father. However, I will admit that I enjoyed this season a little more than the sophomore season, but not quite as much as I liked the first one. The bittersweet moment leads Umang Singh (Bani) to make a visit to her hometown to meet her parents, who have kind of disowned her after she came out as queer. On the other hand, Anjana Menon (Kulhari) has been stuck in the past since the beginning of the show. This season, all the four of them want is to put the past behind them, but endings may be difficult.

She added that while other shows too have it, what makes their series special is the friendship that binds the ladies. “And in the third season, you will see ...

We had the freedom to do it and also, the budgets are bigger. “Today, it has wings and could travel the journey it is on because it is on streaming. The story has no burden to carry and neither redemption to feel. As makers and creators, we also want one more woman taking the material, making it her own and bringing a different voice to the audience.” Talking about the third season, the creator of the show Rangita Nandy promised that it will be three times the sass, drama and fun. “And in the third season, you will see them doing all that and more, and doing it together,” she told

Women are messy, they are nice. Sometimes they have clarity sometimes they don't. The sexual interest is real, and the buildup of chemistry more so.

Each character in the show is sexually active and at different stages of being single, so it is only that there is a lot of sex. There is a lot that continues to work for the show, but the larger picture is just not seamless. It is time that women open up about what they enjoy, and what they do not. The sexual interest is real, and the buildup of chemistry more so. It also misses an opportunity when it comes to exploring Siddhi’s reaction to grief over the loss of her father.

Considering that the four women — Siddhi, Anjana, Umang and Damini — call their own shots in the show, and do no shy away from showcasing all shades of being a women, I would discount the question. This girl gang of four reminds many a time of my friendship with my girlfriends as we do our best to match schedules on different time zones. If anything about this show is shallow, it is the show’s disinterest in exploring more about Damini’s discomfort with sex after a miscarriage. It is great that show stays true to the messy sides of women. A woman seeking pleasure out, a widow who is “unconventional” because she has decided to step out for a Holi party despite her husband’s death all of six months ago, or a woman who begins to seriously consider giving her ex-husband, now a husband of another woman, another chance at fixing things — Four More Shots Please addresses the different lives that women live today.

The ladies are back, but not with a bang. The third season continues the saga of Anjana (Kirti Kulhari), Riddhi (Maanvi Gaagroo), Umang (Bani J) and Damini ...

While the tension between Anjana and her ex still prevails, she is still holding up well as she lives with one (Varun) and works with another (Sameer Kocchar as Shashank Bose).

Four More Shots Please season 3 review: Maanvi Gagroo, Bani, Kriti Kulhari and Sayani Gupta-starrer begins so well but jumps the shark at episode 8.

Sayani is thankfully not crying like a child anymore and until the dreadful last third of the season, she also raked in some of the better scenes for herself. While I remember disliking the first two seasons of Four More Shots Please as well, I don't remember being this disappointed by any of it. But at the end, the horniness takes over, gaslighting is seen as a very credible argument, sex means closure and real closure comes out of the blue. Every bit the Manic Pixie Dream Boy, he enters Umang's life as a friend and things seem sweet and wholesome for a while. Rarely have I seen a series toss something good so carelessly to the trash. Regardless of Siddhi's very childish tantrums, Anjana still takes the crown as the most selfish of them all. The rest of the episode also roams around khets of Punjabs and ghostly old school buildings on a winter afternoon. While Umang has her distanced family, broke new life and homophobia from random strangers to deal with, the rest have issues of their own. The moment could have been the perfect end to a good, significantly more mature, far less cringe third season but the need to ruin a perfectly good thing--as show's leading gang of four often does--overpowered everything else. She joins a young politician's election campaign and it seems like there might be something good and platonic to this relationship after all. The opening episode, for instance, was by far the best. As random as the plan was, Anjana (Kriti Kulhari), Damini (Sayani Ghosh), Siddhi (Maanvi Gagroo) accompany Umang (Bani) to her pind in Punjab.
