Potluck

Why is this standout series marketed so poorly? I am dissapointed that I heard about it so late.

If you liked "This is Us," then this series is a must-watch for you. If not, then also you can watch it, simply for the novelty. It is rare to find this level of writing in the family drama genre India.

People do not care about stories anymore, they care about characters. The recipe to success is all about real characters, who are also likeable, or interesting. And that is exactly what this series does.

The series features a talented cast; Cyrus Sahukar, Ira Dubey, Shikha Talsania, jatin sial & Kitu Gidwani.

Can you believe it, this series portrays familiar issues like the need of a bigger house, the nanny speaking in her mother tongue, joblessness, cooking know-how etc.

Pros: simple, relatable, realistic, and without melodrama.

Cons: It can be too simple, tad predictable, and somehow lacks that something special.

In an era where content makers and viewers are obsessed with complex plots that get darker, perhaps to seem and sound more intellectually evolved; 'Potluck' is a simple, refreshing, soulful family entertainer that aims only at making you feel good and that's exactly what it does.

Unlike many other binges, this one is not tiring on the eyes or the brain as it brings a smile to your face, for most of its duration. You journey with the characters, laugh at their jokes, hate them at times, find them stupid at others, cannot at all relate to them on certain occasions; but you stay with them throughout.

Overall, 'Potluck' is like the soulful dish perhaps your mum brought to your own family potluck; it is to be savoured with a smile!

This is one of those, which leaves a pleasant feeling and a lasting impact..Who are us without relationships and their confusions. Our life revolves around family friends and conversations.. For those who are looking for a feel good evening and just the right amount of emotions, this series is for you..Waiting for season 2.

P. S. Totally Got the What the Folks vibe...

I would not rate the show very highly. Direction and Camera angles are a bit haywire. The actors kept the show afloat. But a relatable premise in the backdrop of a soothing musical tunes leaves good memories.

My immediate reaction after watching the show wasn't positive. But the memories are good.

It's been very long since a family comedy came on OTT.

SWEET SIMPLE SHORT Just watch it.
