Home Shanti

With the arrival of OTT i have been always wondering why its cluttered with violent and nudity filled shows.

Nothing for family watch devoid of abusive language though there are very few exceptions but nothing so great .

This show Home Shanti has been really refreshing and casting/acting has been really top notch.

Plus without inducing forced nostalgia this is based on current context and its makes it even more likeable.

Perfect family watch.. :)

It's a nice, simple, easy-going series showing a middle-class family's trials of building their modest home. Everyday casual situations between a close knit family portrayed well..two things that stand out for me is the way they show the slowly strengthening of family bonds, how their relationship matures and the excellent performance by the young adults..so its not just the 2 stalwarts carrying the shown on their own. Anything to do with Nidhi Bisht and Biswapati Sarkar can never fail to entertain. Don't miss it.

Its has flavour of TVF written all over it. A must watch for you and your family, very supported by the family and the contractor. You can watch it in one go. A perfect binge watch material.

It's great Show ! After longest time Watching comedy series

Full to entertaining Rollercoaster Family series

Perfect story with perfect emotion

Manoj Pahva & Supriya Pathak super .....

Home Shanti (2022) Series Review -

A Hilarious And Poetic Family Entertainer That Will Make You Feel At Home!

There aren't many web series that have funny family products that you can watch with your family and laugh with them. Family dramas aren't new to Bollywood. We have had big hits and many popular films made over the years, and they still enjoy a cult following. In the 90s, everything was going great for this genre, especially with Hum Apke Hai Kaun (1994), which set the benchmark for such films, but in recent times, such films are being missed badly. With Home Shanti, Hotstar Specials brings you the medicine for that illness, and believe me, it is damn too effective. Home Shanti is exquisitely funny, vibrant, humourous and, most importantly, it has its heart in the right place.

Home Shanti hasn't got any extraordinary story, but a simple one, which is both simpler and more fulfilling. This 6-episode series is about the Joshi family, who intend to build a new home. Sarla Joshi (Supriya Pathak) is a school vice principal, and her husband, Umesh Joshi (Umesh Pahwa), is an unknown poet. They have a daughter, Jigyasa (Chakori Dwivedi), and a son, Naman (Poojan Chhabra), who are just like any other siblings, always fighting and loving each other. The series follows them on their journey of building a new home, the challenges they face, how they stand together in the face of adversity, and how much they learn about family values in pretty exciting and funny ways.

Supriya Pathak as Sarla will remind you of any passionate working-class wife and mother who is also a great housewife. She is brilliant with her accent, that typical wanna-be-strict-mommy kind of thing, and the wanna-be-perfect woman stuff. Manoj Pahwa is always a treat to watch in such funny roles. That hidden poet he portrays is definitely lovable. Also, his narration in the ending portion of every episode will leave you spellbound. The young brigade, Chakori and Poojan, will make a direct connection with every young viewer, especially the siblings. All the four members of the family have hilarious one-liners of their own, and they just don't stop throwing them at you.

The screenplay of Home Shanti keeps you engaged without any out-of-this-world theories. It's so grounded and relatable that you will feel at home. Watching this series with your family will be an unforgettable experience because you will find yourself in the shoes of one of the reel-life characters. A grand salute to the entire unit of writing, screenwriting, and dialogue writing. Home Shanti has impeccable humour, which is hard to beat and hard to find nowadays. While most of the web series are geared towards vulgar and adult material, Home Shanti provides you with a family entertainer and how. The poetic features of the series not only entertain you, but they also teach you a lot about family and relationships.

Aakanksha Dua deserves to be hailed for cracking the perfect formula of a modern-day family entertainer. It seems like ages since we got such an enchanting family comedy that is so relevant and mesmerizing. I was laughing so loudly at moments and was so hooked on the story that I kept reminding myself that this is a series, not a film. Such was the grip and hold Aakanksha had on the narrative. I was like, why is it not a film? This should have been it. Dear Aakanksha, why? We need a family film so badly in today's time. Why didn't you come earlier when Bollywood was busy tearing family films into pieces? Better late than never! That's all I can say. Home Shanti is a must watch shanti-filled (peaceful) break from all the crappy, loud, vulgar, and useless series we see nowadays, so please make sure that you don't miss it. It may create a small chaos for a moment in your family, but at the end of it, there will be nothing but SHANTI..!

RATING - 6.5/10*
