Let’s unpack this trauma, shall we? Four More Shots Please! has returned for its fourth and final lap, and frankly, I am emotionally exhausted. For nearly eight years, we have watched four women navigate the complexities of Mumbai life by treating tequila shots as a valid substitute for cognitive behavioral therapy.
The thesis of this show has always been precarious: Can glossy, hyper-privileged "girl boss" energy dismantle the patriarchy? Or is it just performative activism with a high production budget? Season 4 attempts to answer this by forcing the girls to grow up. It’s the end of an era, specifically the era where we pretend that sleeping with your ex is "empowerment" rather than a desperate cry for validation. I am seated for the mess, the fashion, and the inevitable problematic decisions.
The Wedding Industrial Complex vs. Reality
The season opens with Siddhi’s wedding, which is essentially a masterclass in heteronormative hegemony. She marries Mihir, and while the aesthetic is stunning (obviously), the subtext is screaming. The show frames this as "settling down," but let’s be real it’s a coping mechanism. The chemistry is lacking (literally defied by the laws of physics), and Siddhi’s return to stand-up comedy to roast her own marriage is the only moment of genuine agency she displays. It’s giving "I love him, but I also love content."
Damini’s Main Character Syndrome (Final Boss Edition)
We need to talk about Damini starting a podcast. Of course she started a podcast. In the hierarchy of Mumbai media clichés, this is the peak. It is the ultimate act of performative vulnerability. She’s recovering from infidelity and "reclaiming her voice," but when she reconnects with Jeh in Goa, it feels like emotional regression packaged as closure. The writers want us to root for her, but I’m too busy analyzing the toxicity of her parasocial relationship with her own ego.
The Male Gaze... Reimagined?
Anjana hooking up with Dino Morea (playing Rohan) is the cultural reset we didn't know we needed. Finally, the female gaze is prioritized. Anjana sheds the "Aunty Ji" label not by knitting, but by engaging in a romance that is purely for the plot (and the aesthetics). It is structurally pivotal that she stops performing motherhood for society and starts performing chaos for herself. Is it deep? No. Is it satisfying? Absolutely.
The "Mother of All Pacts"
The core of the finale is the "pact" a timeline to fix their lives. This is classic neoliberal feminism: the idea that you can project-manage your emotional trauma like a Q4 deliverable. However, when the show stops trying to be smart and just lets them be friends, it works. The intersectionality of their specific struggles (Umang’s queer loneliness vs. Damini’s careerist anxiety) finally merges into a genuine support system. The ending doesn't give us a fairytale; it gives us "closure without abandonment," which is surprisingly mature for a show that usually solves problems with a montage and a Manish Malhotra lehenga.
The Stats (Since You Refuse to Read) Release Date: December 19, 2025 Platform: Prime Video Vibe: Sex and the City but with more traffic and unresolved daddy issues. Cast: Sayani Gupta, Kirti Kulhari, Bani J, Maanvi Gagroo, Dino Morea. Kanisha’s Rating: 3 out of 5 intersectional slay queens.
1. Did Damini choose Jeh or her career in the Four More Shots Please Season 4 ending?
The Fact: Damini ultimately prioritizes her professional independence, launching her own podcast and choosing her career over reconciling fully with Jeh, though they share a moment of closure in Goa. The Kanisha Take: Finally, a woman in a Bollywood production realizes that a toxic ex is not a "muse." Choosing a podcast over a man is the ultimate neoliberal girl-boss move, and frankly, her ROI on that relationship was in the negatives anyway.
2. Is Four More Shots Please Season 5 confirmed by Amazon Prime Video?
The Fact: No, Season 5 is not happening. Amazon Prime Video and the show's creators have officially confirmed that Season 4 is the series finale and the conclusion of the characters' arcs. The Kanisha Take: It is officially over. The writers realized you can only gentrify South Bombay trauma for so many years before it becomes a documentary. They chose to end on a high (and tipsy) note rather than dragging us through a mid-life crisis season.
3. Does Siddhi divorce Mihir in the Four More Shots Please Season 4 finale?
The Fact: No, Siddhi and Mihir do not divorce. Despite their lack of chemistry and Siddhi’s frustrations, they choose to stay married, with Siddhi finding an outlet for her marital angst through stand-up comedy. The Kanisha Take: It’s giving "Sunk Cost Fallacy." They stay together because separating would require too much paperwork and emotional labor. Siddhi monetizing her unhappy marriage for stand-up content? That is agency weaponized against heteronormativity.
4. Who is the new cast member playing Rohan in Four More Shots Please Season 4? The Fact: The character of Rohan, Anjana’s new romantic interest, is played by Dino Morea. The Kanisha Take: Dino Morea enters the chat to prove that the female gaze is alive and well. His entire role is essentially "supportive eye candy," and honestly? We need more men written purely as aesthetic plot devices. It’s only fair.
