The thing about finales is that you never really feel them coming until the date is staring you in the face. That is what happened when I saw that Four More Shots Please! is closing its story on 19 December. No big drama, no flashing announcement. Just a line in an article that somehow hit deeper than expected. I sat with it for a moment, thinking, huh, so this is really the end of that world we kept dipping into every year.
Seeing the original four again, Sayani Gupta, Kirti Kulhari, Bani J, and Maanvi Gagroo bring the same oddly familiar comfort it always does. These characters have stumbled through so many seasons of heartbreak and chaos that watching them reappear feels like picking up a conversation you left halfway last year. Not much preamble.
Just a sense that they’ve lived a life while you weren’t looking. The season apparently starts with a pact, which sounds exactly like something this group would do. Impulsive, emotional, probably not completely thought through. But meaningful in that way late night promises tend to be, even if no one knows what they’re signing up for.
The new faces shift the tone in small but noticeable ways. Dino Morea joining feels like when someone unexpectedly cool shows up to a dinner and suddenly the whole table straightens up a bit. Anasuya Sengupta has that calm that makes other actors recalibrate without realizing they’re doing it. And Kunaal Roy Kapur carries this casual sincerity that sneaks up on scenes. They don’t feel like final season add ons. They feel like people who might complicate the main quartet’s emotional math.
Behind the camera, the usual suspects are still steering the ship. Pritish Nandy Communications, along with Rangita Pritish Nandy and Ishita Pritish Nandy, continue shaping the show with that mix of sparkle and bruised honesty they’ve always leaned into. Directors Arunima Sharma and Neha Parti Matiyani know when to let a moment breathe instead of rushing it along, which is oddly crucial for a show built on big feelings.
With Devika Bhagat writing and Ishita Moitra handling the dialogue again, it’s safe to guess the conversations will still swing between cutting and tender, sometimes in the same breath.
What stands out now is that this final season seems less interested in being loud. More interested in what happens after the shouting stops. The hints about old relationships being reconsidered, conflicts hitting deeper than surface level, choices that actually shift the characters’ lives, there’s something heavier in that. Not dark. Just grown. The cast is older. The audience is older. Maybe the show finally meets everyone at the same place.
When it first came out, people didn’t quite know what to do with Four More Shots Please! Some embraced it instantly. Some dismissed it. Some watched in secret and pretended not to. But it sparked chatter, and that alone made it a kind of cultural hinge. It showed women on screen the way they show up in life: messy, contradictory, playful, angry, trying to figure themselves out while pretending they already have. You didn’t have to love every storyline to recognize bits of yourself in the mix.
Which is probably why the ending feels personal in a way finales usually don’t. Not in a tearful, nostalgic montage way, but in a quieter sense of, yeah, I’ve grown up a little too since this all started. I don’t need a perfect ending for these characters. I just want something that feels… honest. Honest to the way friendships shift but don’t vanish. Honest to the way people make choices, they’re not entirely ready for. Honest to how life doesn’t wrap itself neatly just because cameras stop rolling.
When 19 December comes, people will watch however they’ve always watched this show. On couches, in bed, maybe in the kitchen while cooking something simple. Some will text reactions in real time, some will binge quietly and not say much. And when the final episode ends, there’ll be that little pause, almost involuntary. The kind you take before standing up, where you’re still half inside the world you just left.
And then, as always, you move on. But for a minute, the goodbye sits there gently.
