Potluck is a heartwarming and amusing depiction of the Shastri family trying to build a strong, lasting bond with each other.

As the name suggests, each character brings a unique Flavour in this Potluck of emotions through their varied opinions, views and life situations.

While the first season introduces us to the Shastris and how their regular potlucks originated, the second season dives deeper into the lives of the Shastri clan and explores some new-age conundrums that are faced by all modern families.

The first season of Potluck introduces Govind and Pramila Shastri and their kids, Vikrant, Dhruv and Prerna.

While Vikrant and Dhruv are married to Akansha and Nidhi, respectively, Prerna meets Aalim on a blind date.

We first meet the Shastris at Dhruv and Nidhi Shastri’s brand new home, where his brother Vikrant realises he too needs to purchase a bigger place.

But his thoughts are not supported by his wife Akansha and also create a rift between Dhruv and Nidhi.

While Pramila hears what her kids think about her, Prerna meets Aalim on a blind date.

It is then revealed how Govind persuaded his family for the potluck, a truth which Dhruv stumbled upon.

Nidhi tries to hold a potluck alone and Vikrant-Akansha spend some quality time together.

Tensions arise when Aalim meets the Shastris and Govind’s lies are spilled out by Dhruv, leading to an intense confrontation.

The family gets back together after an unfortunate accident, leading to a sweet reunion.
