Everyday India on Screen: A Critical Examination of “Gullak – Season 2” (2023‑2024)

April 2026 Abstract “Gullak – Season 2” (Sony LIV, 2023‑2024) continues the anthology‑drama tradition of its predecessor, portraying the quotidian lives of a middle‑class Hindi‑speaking family in the fictional town of Bhopal. This paper analyses the series’ narrative structure, aesthetic strategies, and sociocultural resonances, positioning it within contemporary Indian streaming‑television discourse. Drawing on close textual reading, reception data, and secondary scholarship on Indian television realism, the study argues that Season 2 deepens the original’s exploration of intergenerational tensions, economic precarity, and the negotiation of tradition versus modernity, while employing a hybrid visual style that blends documentary‑like naturalism with stylised domestic mise‑en‑scene. The paper concludes by reflecting on “Gullak”’s role in reshaping the representation of the Indian middle class on digital platforms and its implications for future content production in the Indian OTT ecosystem. 1. Introduction 1.1 Background Since the launch of India’s over‑the‑top (OTT) platforms in the mid‑2010s, Indian television narratives have increasingly migrated from melodramatic prime‑time serials to more nuanced, slice‑of‑life storytelling. “Gullak” (2020‑2024) stands out as a flagship example, offering a mini‑series format that foregrounds ordinary moments— gullak (piggy‑bank) being a metaphor for the family’s collective memory and savings.
