Four More Shots Please Season 4 Review: Amazon Prime Video’s Four More Shots Please returns for its fourth and final season, bringing closure to one of Indian OTT’s most talked-about female-led series. Season 4 raises a toast to acceptance and letting go, and this show has been let go by the makers, who have seemingly accepted that they cannot bring more to the table. 

The season takes you four years ahead and begins with Siddhi (Maanvi Gagroo) getting married to Mihir (Rajeev Siddhartha). She gets cold feet and is nervous about her choice of partner- this sets the tone of the season. The show has now become entirely about Siddhi, and her friends seem like an afterthought. What began as a story about four women navigating love, ambition and friendship has now been diluted. 

The second sentence of my notes reads, “Did they make this season only to end the show?” Four More Shots Please Season 4 is more B-roll than show. It is a disappointing, half-hearted effort to conclude a story that has lost its plot. Themes like identity and independence take a back seat, and so do Kirti Kulhari, Sayani Gupta and Bani J. 

Siddhi has found her footing on the stage, but she only gets applause when she talks about the lack of sex in her married life. When her husband objects to their dirty laundry being aired in public, she quickly switches lanes to become a content creator. She enlists Ash’s (Kunal Roy Kapoor) help, who poses as her fake husband on social media, and their chemistry impresses their followers. 

You can guess what happens next: a troubled marriage, an insecure husband, an empathetic and funny poser with a crush. Although this is Siddhi’s storyline, Kunal Roy Kapoor is the heart of this plot. For a character introduced in the final season, Ash is well-written and commands the most attention on screen. 

Damini and Umang have similar storylines and have been given a similarly confusing treatment. Damini has now ventured into podcasting, and here, too, Ash quickly becomes its highlight. The gravitas that Damini had in the previous seasons is missing, making it apparent that season 4 has been helmed by someone new to the show (Arunima Sharma).

Umang’s new take on love leads her to a business opportunity, which in turn takes her back to love. There is nothing high-stakes here except that she’s a questionable friend. It is sad to see this character treatment after her emotional plots in the previous seasons. There is no harm in a character becoming emotionally lighter in their journey, but it shouldn’t come across as lazy writing. 

This brings me to Anjana, the most forgettable main character on the show. Anjana has evolved into a brilliant woman with success, freedom and an open mind. But we have no idea how she got there. Her turmoil has less screen time than her intimate scenes with Dino Morea. It is a wasted opportunity that could have been used to show a powerful and ‘sorted’ female character’s arc. 

Four More Shots Please Season 4 is a series of random events held together with background music. Much of the character growth occurs off-screen, depriving the audience of the opportunity to see how mature women think and thrive. Massive talents like Sayani Gupta and Kirti Kulhari have been wasted this season.

What works for the show is that, although the plot is diluted, Maanvi Gagroo is a delight to watch on screen. She brightens every frame, and you cannot help but root for her. Her chemistry with Kunal Roy Kapur works like bread and butter. Kunal is a wonderful addition to the show. I wish he had been brought on board sooner so we could see more of Ash’s story.

Sayani Gupta and Prateik Smita Patil have delectable chemistry. They don’t have to say a word; you can feel the electricity. Had the writing done them any justice, they would have outshone any other plot this season. 

Bani J does well in the fun, lighter scenes. But when it comes to soft vulnerability, her expressions don’t change. This, coupled with a lazy sub-plot, makes Umang feel disconnected. Whatever little Kirti Kulhari could do this season, she did it brilliantly. Kirti Kulhari is a powerhouse, and it’s sad to see her talent being ignored.

Somewhere along the four seasons, the show lost sight of itself. This season is an injustice to both the cast and the audience. It is a light, one-time watch if you need closure, but just like the makers seemed to have moved on, so should we.
