Bandish Bandits season 2 review: New characters add interesting spin to this otherwise slow chapter
Dec 13, 2024
Bandish Bandit season 2 review: Ritwik Bhowmik and Shreya Chaudhry return as Radhe & Tamanna, trying to find a place for themselves in the world of music.
While visually stunning, the second season falls short in terms of pacing. Despite its harmonious soundtrack, the show's slow-burning narrative might leave some viewers yearning for a more dynamic rhythm.
The plot
In 2020, Ritwik Bhowmik and Shreya Chaudhry debuted in the OTT space as two musicians from different walks of life. Shreya's character of Tamanna was rooted in the world of pop music, while Ritwik's character was steeped in the traditional notes of Hindustani classical. The first chapter of their story beautifully captured the blending of their worlds. As their love blossomed, the narrative delved into the conflicts that arose from their differing love languages, resulting in them walking their separate ways.
The second part starts from the same point, showing Radhe and Tamanna on their own journey of self-discovery. Tamanna has enrolled herself in a music college in Kasauli, while Radhe is trying to protect the musical legacy of his grandfather Pandit Radhemohan Rathod (essayed by Naseeruddin Shah).
The second season sets the tone from the very beginning, delivering a pivotal plot twist in the first episode itself. The story takes a turn with the departure of Naseeruddin Shah's character. It catches pace with the release of a book exposing the darker aspects of his life, casting a shadow over the family's reputation. As the family struggles to come to terms with the aftermath, the show expertly weaves a complex narrative that explores the intricacies of family dynamics and the secrets that can destroy them.
