FOUR MORE SHOTS (season 3) - V View Reviews #93

Four More Shots revolves around four protagonists... the saga of their life, love, friendship, relationships, happiness, setbacks in personal and professional life, their mistakes, and their bounce back. Maanvi Gagroo as Siddhi is rich and carefree. In this season, she is trying to cope with the death of her father. Bani J as Umang is trying to come out of the broken engagement, finally focusing on a fitness center of her own. Kirti Kulhari as Anjali Menon, a lawyer, and a single mother is trying to have terms with her ex-husband. Sayani Gupta as Damini Rizvi Roy, a journalist is trying to come out of the grief of miscarriage. All four friends despite personal and professional instability try to stand by each other, motivate and push each other. Despite arguments, fights, and disagreements they move forward in life. The plot is presented with fun, glamour, style, glitz, and luxurious life. Exotic location is the treat to the eyes. Glad that there is no sad ending this season. However, this life where women refuse to take responsibility is unrelatable. The language too is uncomfortable at times. There is no substantial progress in the plot from season one to three. Season 1 in 2019 and the second season in 2020 was the customized version of 'Sex And City' and one of the most-watched shows. However, this season failed to appeal to the audience. The performance of the actors is praiseworthy. Apart from the main four leads, there are other actors like Simone Singh as Siddhi's mother, Prateik Babbar as Jeh Wadia, Neil Bhooplam as Varun Khanna, Rajeev Siddharth, Samir Kocchar, Jim Sarbh, Rohan Mehra, and Shushant Singh. Ankur Rathee, Milind Soman, and Amrita Puri had recurring appearances. The cinematography shines with exotic locations. Music is good enough. The editing should have been crisper. Ten episodes are too much. Directed by Joyeeta Patpatia, this series is streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
