Does this season delve deeper into the gap between the two generations? Does this show give a new message about women's identity? Can the new cast maintain the old magic? And is Gullak still a “piggy bank of nostalgia”?
Gullak Season 5 once again takes the audience to the world of a small town in North India where the sweetness of relationships, the truth of conflicts and everyday struggles go together.
The Mishra family returns this time with new changes, new voices and a slightly changed atmosphere. But the show's greatest strength remains its simplicity of emotion and complexity of identity. This season not only tells the story, but also tries to break the silence between two generations. It also gives a strong message on women's identity and self-esteem.

Geetanjali Kulkarni once again emerges as the biggest force of this season. Her character Shanti adds depth to every frame. Jamil Khan also looks very comfortable and natural as Santosh. Anant Joshi fits in well as the elder son Anand Mishra alias Annu, although the absence of veteran actor Vaibhav Raj Gupta is felt. Harsh Mayer shows maturity in the character of younger son Aman.
