Four More Shots Please!

Four More Shots Please! follows four imperfect friends in contemporary Mumbai who lean on each other as they deal with careers, romances, family pressures and personal desires. Damini, Anjana, Siddhi and Umang meet over drinks and become each other’s sounding board, testing limits and expectations while making plenty of mistakes along the way. The series mixes sharp humor with quieter moments, showing their late-night conversations, risky decisions and small victories without promising tidy resolutions. It’s as much about their friendship as it is about how they negotiate independence in a fast-changing city.

The show premiered in 2019, created by Rangita Pritish Nandy, Ishita Pritish Nandy and Trisha Paralkar, with Arunima Sharma among the directors. It arrived during a wave of Indian streaming originals and quickly became associated with millennial urban storytelling.

The series stirred public discussion by putting frank conversations about female desire, career ambition and social expectations on screen. It pushed a sex-positive tone that prompted talk shows, social media posts and think pieces, and it helped normalize depictions of women who drink, argue and make messy choices in mainstream Indian entertainment.

Critical and audience reactions were mixed, reflected in a vote average of 5.8/10 from 28 votes. Reviewers tended to praise the chemistry among Sayani Gupta, Kirti Kulhari, Maanvi Gagroo and Gurbani Judge while pointing out uneven plotting and tonal shifts. Thematically, the show leans into friendship, independence, gender roles and the friction between tradition and modern city life, often favoring character moments over neat moral lessons.

The series has not been a major awards contender in international prize circles, though it has maintained a visible fanbase and ongoing relevance in conversations about representation and urban women’s stories on Indian television.
