where the only capable fictional stories at least for India were coming out of Netflix and Amazon Prime videos this Gaurav Shukla and Web of Shiktar-created show surprised everyone with its level of detailing and writing that hooked the viewer with its eight-episode running time other than the meme of asking when the next made in heaven series is coming out asur season 2 also was a mystery in film and series discourse at the makers forgotten about it you would see actors posting photographs shooting season 2 but there was no sign of it ever coming out shortly finally getting some relief with the jio cinemas later films and series being announced on June 1st we got two episodes of season 2 while the greed within me was not fulfilled


I fully envisioned myself bingeing the entire season last night the episodes of season 2 are going to come out every day so I thought of sharing my initial thoughts of the first two episodes and then we'll check back with you guys in the season finale so let's get to where we are what is happening and how the series still can fully grasp your attention show with this calculated plan has been executing killings across the country and the police CBI and forensic team always find itself two steps behind him while season 1 almost showcased a slate of random characters that fully believe in his ideals of Anarchy season 2 successfully retraces how shops pass ties into why the conspirators align with him to execute his evil plan you've got Dhananjay Rajput played by Arshad Warsi who is residing in a monastery currently having lost his wife being framed for the same and the recent loss of his colleague and friend Lola played by Sharif Hashmi Dhananjay is consumed with guilt and grief avoiding any new developments 


of the case that overwhelmed him I realized very quickly that the characters in season 2 are dealing with a lot of grief and baggage and this is the mood that stays consistent in the first two episodes as the characters all deal with and are coping with massive trauma Nikhil and Nana played by Varun copy and Anu Priya Goenka are coming to terms with the loss of their daughter presumably for the greater good while Nikhil douses himself with pills to cope, Nana, invests herself fully with work while both sharing a relationship of animosity and resentment with more killings around the corner and the plan getting even more convoluted can the CBI team finally catch on to shop and more importantly identify on how he looks as a grown adult and where


he is today this is what season 2 is going to explore what I love about Asurand its writing especially is that it does not alienate the viewer and by this I mean is that the motive of Shop played with a creepy and demonic tonality by Vishesh Panzer does not get philosophical to the point of churning incoherent gibberish this is what I had said regarding season 2 of sacred games where the Anarchy that was being formulated by the antagonist played by Pankaj Tripathi ventured on being too esoteric where the core of the series was lost shops quest for a new world order the commencement of kayak that will Mark the arrival of Kali is making absolute sense as he believes that one lives in an age of no morality or sense prevailing

the reason why the antagonist and the series hook your attention is that the antagonist is adamant in his ways of beliefs that cannot be shaken and nothing is scarier than a person who cannot be influenced and whose goals are to cause havoc and see the world burn this is where lowly Mortals like Nikhil and Dhananjay struggle, because they are dealing with a force they least anticipated okay sir bhardwaj played by a brilliant gaur oba Road eyes in custody and the motivational speaker who is extremely popular is amused by the incompetence of the CBI to get to the bottom of the case as episode 1 States you know Season 2 is going to be an absolutely Wild Ride, showcases his acting chops as Nikhil deals with the loss of his daughter and looks in the distance in a daze almost broken Beyond repair he is willing to course through


the case but his deep sadness lingers on another case of one of my favorite actors transitioning from TV who deserves so much more gives great support as they notice that the show and his pattern remain identical almost giving Clues to the team as this is an antagonist who likes to play with the world watching almost intellectually stroking his own ego and trying to impress the team that wants to catch him this is where I had created parallels with Moriarty and Joker with season 1 because these are antagonists who love an audience who love the Applause for the sheer complicated and evil plans that they execute I think what's even more interesting and I think you will agree with this if you have seen the first two episodes is that the makers will tie the mythological aspect of the series to the child in the monastery


why is next to Dhananjay a messiah among men who could be the light amid the Kalyug I am very interested in how they developed that subplot but the standout still are the dialogues written by Gaurav Shukla Nirain but Abhijeet Kumon and Rani Pathvardhan especially in the context of threats to the world but my favorite has to be jobs clearly telling you that show Once the end of the current world and the commencement of a new world order the investigation of the case continues in episode 2 and both Nikhil and Dhananjay seems more determined to get to the bottom of the case Rasool Sheikh is a very interesting character playing it low-key for the shops plan but I just wonder the sheer anger that will persist

 

when the CBI sniffs out the mole in their system there is a slightly gimmicky method in which Nikhil recognizes a person that becomes the key suspect in the case which was almost reminiscent of superhero Powers being channelized but it wasn't jarring enough to completely disconnect you from the series with its first two episodes also make you question the point of Justice revenge or whether individuals have any form of closure on this destructive path of deaths happening all around them the Cliffhanger of episode 2 was absolutely brilliant and I very well know this is going to be a wild ride and it truly was a long wait for all of us more with you as the season finale drops
