Four More Shots on Prime Video

If there was an Indian version of “Sex and the City”, this could be the closest adaptation. We watched both seasons. The first season is a series of women with men issues, drinking shots at a bar and having a lot of sex, while wearing couture.

The second season, starts with a recap of the first season, so you really do not have to watch the first season to get a sense of the story thus far. The second season is definitely a much more meatier story, with more alcohol, Milind Soman (who still looks to die for in his salt and pepper), an aged Lisa Ray, a wall paper for Prateik Babbar, people having more sex than in Season 1 but in a much more glossier manner.

So if you want to watch lives of four sassy Mumbai Women and their intricate relationships, their choices, their non existential struggles with real issues like finding jobs or making a living while selling flopped books, here is where you go.

This web series is not a poster for feminism, nor moral values and it does not pretend to be. It is just a glossy Indian story of friendship of 4 women who meet regularly at a bar and have other characters as props. It is a new age story, portraying a modern India; which if you have no connection with anymore (because you have left the shores long time ago), you will find a tad bit shocking to reckon with. You will realize soon that the India in your head is long gone. The biggest gift of liberalism and a global world is that people are the same everywhere if they have the same opportunities.

I would say, Four More Shots does to Indian cosmopolitanism what Karan Johar did to Sarson Ke Khet.
