SEASON 2 REVIEW: The show is binge-worthy, it has an engaging plot with some stellar performances. Despite the slow screenplay, the show manages to keep the viewers hooked. Ronit Roy once again perfectly delivered an impressive performance and done full justice to his character. Divya Dutta steals the show and done a commendable job.
Shweta Basu Prasad is a surprise package. In her limited screen time, she has given an impactful performance. Amit Sial, Mohan Kapur, Dalip Tahil, Faezeh Jalali, and Kanwaljit Singh lend effective support to the show. Dino Morea, Shibani Dandekar, Sachin Khurana, Aashim Gulati, and all the other supporting casts were average in their parts.
The series could have been cut down to 10 episodes, the more crisp editing could’ve made this series more interesting. The background score is good and the cinematography is done quite well.
