This 6-episode series is ready to take you back to your teen years when the feeling of being in love gives you that exhilaration, and one feels the jitters being around their crush. ‘Gutar Gu’ beautifully showcases the young teenage love, excitement, and nervousness and also touches upon the problems that come Anuj and Ritu’s way and how they handle them.

The series is produced by double Oscar-winning producer Guneet Monga, which makes it all the more special to watch.

Here are 5 reasons that make this series a must-watch teen romance drama:

Pehla Pyaar

Most of us have experienced their ‘Pehla Pyaar’ in our teenage years. Thinking about the same, one might go down memory lane and be able to relate to every frame showcased in the series. In this journey of ‘Pehla Pyaar’, one can witness Ritu and Anuj go through a similar phase, where Anuj, a shy boy who has hardly interacted with girls falls for Ritu, who is totally opposite to Anuj and yet the two-strike cord and fall for each other.

When The Odds Don't Match

In the teen years, every parent wishes for their child to do good in their studies and stay focused. Similar is the case with Anuj who comes from an orthodox family and falls in love with Ritu who belongs to a modern family. The series takes an interesting turn when the two young love birds reach the point wherein their sweet secret relationship is exposed to their family. Will this ‘Gutar Gu’ stand strong and face the odds or do they dwell under the pressure of family and part ways? The narrative surely keeps the audience hooked.

Relationship Guide

We all have had that one person or group of friends who have actively participated in our love life and wanted the best for us. Right from preparing how to behave around your crush/love interest to how one should dress for a date, these friends have a huge part to play. In the series as well, the significance of having the best guide (your friend) can be witnessed through Satish Ray’s character who plays the wingman of the cute teen couple Anuj and Ritu and comes to their rescue and helps give them some insightful relationship advice.

Love Rivalry

Love stories often feature a character who creates conflict or obstacles for the couple, and in this series, there is a love rival who warns Anuj to stay away from Ritu and claims that she belongs to him. This rivalry adds an extra layer of intrigue to the already charming love story, making the series even more captivating to watch.

Terrific Cast

The narrative of a story often depends on the talent of the artists, and how best they bring their characters to life, and in this case, the ‘Gupt Gyan’ duo of Ashlesha Thakur and Vishesh Bansal play the lead roles of Ritu and Anuj, respectively, with Satish Ray in a supporting role. The duo's performances strike a perfect balance between innocence and rebelliousness, contributing to the overall appeal of the story. The series is directed by Saqib Pandor and produced by Guneet Monga and Achin Jain.
