'????? ?? formalities, Give me four more shots, please'
This title song was the talk of the town in 2019, when four more shots, please made its debut.
It's said that the third time's the charm. However, it doesn't seem to apply to "Four More Shots, Please!." Season 3 was launched yesterday on popular public demand. The four confused women Anjana, Damini, Siddhi, and Umang were introduced to us for the first time in 2019, and their characters have developed throughout seasons 1 and 2.
The show was frequently called "cringe," but for this season, it isn't, and the creators have made an effort to add "More Mature" content. Having said that, it hasn't convinced us as much as the earlier seasons. The fact that the premise was novel and the four main characters embodied everything tough about metropolitan women at the time earned the series praise and admiration from both critics and viewers.
The central conflict of Four More Shots Please hasn't changed after three seasons, despite the fact viewers have grown up.

Four More Shots Please's Plot
The season description on the Amazon Prime Videos read, ＾A sad goodbye, some giggles, some tears and a heavy heart. That's how we see the four girls this season. Each of them is saddled by baggage, most of which slumps their shoulders and almost makes them fall. All that the four of them are seeking this season is closure but sometimes the closing chapters are the most painful ones.￣
Four More Shots Please Season 1 Recap
The series, which is directed by Anu Menon and Nupur Asthana, chronicles the lives of four unabashedly flawed women as they live, love, make mistakes, and learn more about who they are via friendship and tequila shots in millennial Mumbai.
Indiatimes
The four friends are played by Sayani Gupta as an investigative journalist named Damini Rizvi Roy ("Dee"), Bani J as a fitness instructor named Umang Singh ("Mangs"), Kirti Kulhari as a lawyer and divorced mother named Anjana Menon ("Anj") Khanna, and Maanvi Gagroo as Sidhi Patel ("Sids"), a single child from a wealthy family. Fans praised the show and dubbed it the "desi version of Sex and the City."
Four More Shots Please Season 2 Recap
In the first season, the audience was introduced to four self-hating yet endearing women's pasts and how they came to gather almost daily at their favourite pub, Truck Bar, to talk about their ongoing issues, which included office politics, unresolved sentiments, and of course, comforting one another's sorrows.

Siddhi Patel, Umang Singh, Anjana Menon, and Damini Rizvi Roy, are four friends who are driven to establish their lane and meet their selves, navigate through the chaos of life. However, is self-discovery as easy as it seems?

The plot of this ten-episode drama is one crazy trip that made sense up until the mid-2000s. The writing is filled with offensive sexual innuendos, and the reliance on sex to fix every broken nail in the home is outmoded and overdone.
Four More Shots Please Season 3
The three-season plot revolves around the lives of Siddhi, Anjana, Damini, and Umang, four damaged women. The show is back with a third season after two fantastic ones, promising this time to be full of sweetness, spice, and spunk. With the girl gang, the show features key roles from Prateik Babbar, Lisa Ray, Neil Bhooplam, Rajeev Siddharth, Amrita Puri, Simone Singh, Samir Kochhar, Jim Sarbh, Rohan Mehra, Shilpa Shukla, and Sushant Singh.
Review Of Season 3: How It Is Less Cringy But Unappealing
In contrast to past seasons, which opened with one of the four starring ladies making yet another mistake, this season's premiere opens with Siddhi Patel's expression of condolence for her father at his prayer meeting. From there, the focus quickly shifts to their less boring lives.
You might expect context from the past seasons in the first few episodes of the show. Similar to past seasons, characters are seen coping with their unique problems, flaws, or tragedy. Additionally, the girl gang helped one another. And indeed, despite our support for the programme due to its widely disseminated life lessons on social media and its message that women should support one another, neither anything new nor the manner in which it is presented has been greatly changed. This season, the same pattern as last season is followed.

They added several handsome actors, such as Jim Sarbh and Neil Bhoopalam, in an effort to liven things up, but their roles haven't been much more than eye candy. We are not criticising them for being on the programme, but the screenplay should have given them better roles while they were there because they haven't helped the major characters grow into better, more developed versions of themselves.
Highlight Of The Season 3
Star Performance
Indiatimes
The four major girls perform admirably once more when it comes to performances. The show's stars, though, are unquestionably Maanvi Gagroo and her character, who matures this season and is an edge over the rest of the group. And Bani J, who once again steals the show and shines in the poignant sequences. In comparison to the other characters in the series, their characters are given an advantage, and they seize the chance.
Bonus Points For The Creators
Twitter
Contrary to the four people on screen, the show's creator Rangita Pritish Nandy, writer Devika Bhagat, dialogue writer Ishita Moitra, and director Joyeeta Patpatia don't make any significant errors. They make use of the limitless opportunities that are given by the tough-as-nails women who manage to hold their own in a society that gives them no leeway at all.
The Music, That Left The Audience Grooving
Screengrab
Four more shots Please is renowned for its musical taste, which makes the crowd sing along. In contrast to other web series, which typically employ Bollywood-inspired music, or don't use many songs, this one has a lovely collection of songs that are ideal for the myriad of varied scenarios. The premium, urban music of Bay Music House matches the vibe of the performance. Season 3 rehashed the same title song and accompanying music video. Foot-tapping music plays during the Holi episode.
The Visuals
Hindustan Times
I'm in awe of the images and how masterfully filmmaker Sanket Shah has caught them. He does an excellent job of capturing Mumbai's sights and sounds. Apart from the music, there's another element we like since it just fits together well. This is still elegant and fashionable, embodying the sparkle and glamour of South Bombay, just like the previous season.
Here's How The Internet Is Been Reacting
