Potluck

I am a sucker for slice of life content because there isn't anything more relatable than this genre. Potluck is yet another feather in Sony Liv's already overstuffed cap. A slice of life series with a delectable cast.

After suffering a cardiac arrest; a father of three hatches a plan to keep his children and their families near by organising potlucks every week.

Featuring a talented ensemble, which includes the likes of Cyrus Sahukar, Ira Dubey, Shikha Talsania, jatin sial & Kitu Gidwani; Potluck is like a bowl of hot gulab jamun topped with thick rabri; comforting as hell. Every episode centres around a different potluck at one of the three houses. Familiar issues like the need of a bigger house, the nanny speaking in her mother tongue, joblessness & cooking know-how are tackled in subtle ways.

The cast does an excellent job in capturing these nuances of daily life. Every cast member does their part to perfection: the "just making ends meet" couple played by Cyrus, Ira & their three kids; the overachieving younger son & wife and finally the single daughter who is searching for the right partner.

Potluck is a soothing, somewhat relatable family friendly series that is not cliched or cringe worthy; something of a rarity these days. Potluck & Gullak together at Sony Liv; makes this platform the home of good slice of life features.
