The highly anticipated comedy-drama series Single Papa, starring Kunal Kemmu, premiered yesterday, Friday, December 12, 2025, exclusively on Netflix. The six-episode show has quickly found a devoted audience, with early reviews praising its blend of humor, genuine emotion, and its fresh take on modern Indian family dynamics.

Plot and Premise

Single Papa follows the journey of Gaurav Gehlot (Kunal Kemmu), or “GG,” a divorced, perpetually immature man in his thirties who is still financially dependent on his father. His life takes a chaotic and heartwarming turn when he makes the life-altering decision to adopt an abandoned baby boy whom he names Amul.

The series chronicles the upheaval this decision causes within his loud, traditional, and loving Delhi family, as Gaurav attempts to prove he can transform from a “man-child” into a responsible single father while battling the skepticism of his family and a strict adoption officer.

Critical and Audience Reaction

The show’s strength is being highlighted in its handling of a sensitive subject with warmth and comedy:

• Heartfelt Comedy: Viewers are praising the series for its successful balance of laughter and emotional moments. The story is being called “binge-worthy” and “a treat to watch” for its feel-good, family-friendly vibe.
• Kunal Kemmu’s Performance: Kunal Kemmu is receiving high marks for his performance, which critics note is convincing in balancing the character’s immaturity with his genuine paternal instincts.
