For the uninitiated, Utha Patak (loosely translating to “uplift and smash” or “free-for-all”) is a satirical take on the chaotic behind-the-scenes life of a Punjabi news channel. Led by the iconic duo of (as the eccentric, always-angry boss) and Nirmal Rishi (as the sharp-tongued, veteran matriarch), the show has carved out a cult following for its relatable chaos, improvisational humor, and spot-on impersonations of regional media tropes. What’s New in Season 4? Season 3 ended with the newsroom literally on fire (thanks to a stray diyan and a faulty mic). Season 4 picks up with the team trying to rebuild—both their studio and their shattered reputations.
This season, the aging news channel is forced to go “viral.” Watch as veteran reporters struggle with Instagram Reels, green screen fails, and a disastrous attempt at a podcast. The show hilariously tackles the generational war between old-school journalism and the new age of influencers.
Here’s what viewers can expect:
A new subplot involves the channel getting sued for defamation. The courtroom scenes—held in a village kacheri (courtyard)—are being hailed as the season's comedic gold, complete with a donkey as a key witness. Why It Still Works In an era of high-budget web series, Utha Patak thrives on low-budget, high-IQ writing. The show doesn’t rely on vulgarity or slapstick; instead, it mines comedy from the mundanity of Punjabi household arguments projected onto a workplace.
The chemistry between and Nirmal Rishi is the soul of the series. Their verbal duels—where she calls him a buddha patwari (old clerk) and he calls her a kabbi wargi (like a bitter gourd)—are linguistic poetry. What the Critics Are Saying Early reviews from limited screenings in Amritsar and Ludhiana are positive. The Punjabi Tribune called it “a mirror held up to our own absurdity,” while audience reactions on social media have been unified around one phrase: “Pehli waali jaisi mazaa aaya” (It felt like the first season). Final Verdict If you loved the first three seasons, Utha Patak Season 4 doesn’t reinvent the wheel—it sets it on fire and rolls it down a hill. It is comfort food for anyone who grew up watching DD Punjabi or arguing about chaa versus coffee in a crowded office. Utha Patak Season 4
