Asur Season 2 Web Series Review – Riveting Drama Continues almost the same impact of its predecessor

0

Web Series: Asur Season 2
Rating: 3.5/5
Cast: Arshad Warsi, Barun Sobti, Riddhi Dogra, Anupriya Goenka
Creator and Director: Gaurav Shukla, Oni Sen
Streaming On: Jio Cinema
Release Date: 1st June, 2023

Story: Asur Season 2 starts at the same point where its first part had ended. The search for a brain playing with mythology, philosophy, and technology in killing and washing people’s brains is shown in an almost perfect way. Asur 2 shows the story through the pain that the characters suffer, both in figurative and real sense. This time, the “Asur” Shubh uses artificial intelligence to make his plans work as he plays out the game of Kali vs. Kalki tale derived from the mythology.

Analysis: Asur’s first season was crowned successfully because of the brilliance in writing that transcended not only the genres, but even the patterns by which the narration is made. This special quality made Asur a show which was a unique experience from the other OTT content. Now continuing the same impact is very tough for the writers and creators, but they have done an impressive job in making the Asur Season 2 a riveting drama. Although it is a Crime Thriller on the surface, the show has an ample amount of drama with the inner conflicts and challenges which the team of CBI, led by Dhananjay Rajpoot and Nikhil Nair face in nabbing a demon like Shubh.

As said above, making a successful sequel to a movie or a web series is not that easy. But Asur Season 2 manages to win because of its gripping narrative. The killer and his acts do not differ much from the first part, but this time the effect and methods of him are explored. The counter-attack from the CBI team has more emotional depth in this season because of all the losses they had to suffer. Another interesting character is introduced in this season which is used as a symbol of God, but it does not end as powerful as it was introduced. The incidents and narration follow a similar path from the first part, which is the plus point of this series which also acts negative a few times. With some minor hiccups, the show holds the interest for all the eight episodes and ends with a nice Cliff Hanger.

Performances: Barun Sobti gives an honest and strong performance which makes the audience root for him more than any other character, Riddhi Dogra, Anupriya Goenka and Meiyamg Chang were natural while Arshad Warsi looked simple yet powerful.

Plus Points:

  • Performances
  • Dialogues
  • Drama
  • Dual between Anant and Asur

Minus Points:

  • Too much usage of technology
  • Some missing links were left behind

Verdict: Asur Season 2 impresses with its good narration and more emotional depth than the first season, but it falters in a few places because of missing attention to details. However, the series is still a gripping one from the start to end.

0

If the inside reports are to be believed, Actor Karthi will star in the sequel of Paiyaa, one of the biggest blockbusters in his career. Lingu Swamy who directed the 1st part, has been trying to make the sequel for a long time now, it is said that he has impressed Karthi with the script. The official announcement of this sequel is expected soon. The movie was a blockbuster in both Tamil and Telugu.

Linguswamy’s films Run, Sandaikozhi, Paiyaa were big hits at the office. The filmmaker was once considered as the master of action entertainers, but he faced continuous failures and lost his image. Recently, he made his debut in Tollywood with The Warrior, which had Ram Pothineni in the lead role. The movie became a big failure at the box office. Now after 13 years of the release of Paiyaa, director Linguswamy is all set to make the second part of Paiyaa with a big budget. He also made a sequel to Sandaikozhi, which did not yield positive result.

Paiyaa (2010) starred Karthi and Tamanaah Bhatia. At first, the film became a massive success in Tamil, then it was dubbed into Telugu, and here also the movie performed very well. The film’s music was scored by Yuvan Shankar Raja still continues to impress the listeners.

The buyers are not demanding any compensation from Agent producers

0

The debacle of Akhil Akkineni’s much-hyped Agent has led to massive losses and gloom over the trade circles involved. The film couldn’t justify its massive production budget nor the constant delays which the makers said was a result of them trying to give the best possible output. Post the failure of Agent, there have been questions raised about compensation to the buyers. While some argued that the buyers deserve some, others claim that there is no need to do anything as such.

Meanwhile, there have been continued reports in the media that buyers are demanding compensation from the producer. In reality, they are not demanding any compensation as they paid just half the amount during the buying stage, and as per agreements they need to pay the producer as per the committed amount. Hence they are not entitled to any compensation from the producer.

Agent became a miserable failure at the box office. Even the producer of the film, Anil Sunkara, apologized to the fans for the result of the film by stating it was a big mistake to make a film without a bound script. Hero Akhil Akkineni wrote an open letter to thank his fans and well-wishers for their support and stated he will come back stronger.
