Barun Sobti Wrb Series: OTT web series have opened the doors of experimentation in stories. The second season of the web series Asura, which came on Voot Select three years ago, is now on Jio Cinema. Asur had kept his hand on the pulse of the audience and that is the reason why the viewers were waiting for the new season for a long time. Viewers wanted to see how far the darkness of demonic power could spread and who would come to save people from it? The first season undoubtedly saw Shubh Joshi (Vishesh Bansal) portray Dhananjay Rajput (Arshad Warsi) and Nikhil with cold ruthless wit. There was turmoil in the life of Nair (Barun Sobti). The same Shubh Bada Hokar (Abhishek Chauhan) has brought the game of checkmate to a whole new level in the new season. In this context, the eight episodes of Asur 2 are interesting.
poison and nectar
Jio Cinema has released two episodes on the first day and the remaining six will be released one by one every day. Although all the episodes have been sent for review in the media. The story of Asura 2 begins from where the first season ended. Soon the series picks up pace. This time the story of Shubh moves forward with the concept of incarnation of Kali and Kalki. Kali, having first drunk poison and then nectar in the churning of the ocean, is alive for ages by changing its form. He is on a mission to destroy humanity. He sees nothing beyond selfishness and explains that whatever is happening is destiny. Everything has to be destroyed in the end. Kali goes on destroying. So the question arises, when will Kalki incarnate to save the people? In the series, you see the 'miracle boy' Ananth (Atharva Vishwakarma) and you realize that this is Kalki incarnate! This character also reminds of the tradition of the Dalai Lama.
who is the real asura
The biggest difference in the story of Asur 2 as compared to the previous season is that here Asur i.e. Shubh has made modern technology a weapon of war. He enters the world of artificial intelligence and learns to use it with sharp intelligence and shakes the whole country and even the power. There is no place for good people in the world of good. It creates a situation of national emergency. Stealing data from the world's largest social media company brings havoc in the lives of common people. Is artificial intelligence really the real demon today? The breaths of millions of lives are under its control. Amidst all this, Dhananjay and Nikhil's fight against Asura continues. However, like last time, here too the problem of trust-distrust between the two persists. This brings ups and downs in the story. In between, the character of Rasool Sheikh (Amey Wagh) also touches the hearts of the audience.
Nayi Baat Ki Foundation
Asur 2 begins one step ahead of the first season and events grow at a rapid pace till the first three episodes. The team of writers and directors lay the foundation of new things here. But with the expansion of events in the middle three episodes, the game of Dhananjay-Nikhil's eye-witness against Shubh reaches new rounds. Many things happen here like miracles and do not seem believable. As a result, the series starts to look like a simple crime story and the thrill slows down a bit. But the good thing is that the graph rises again in the last two episodes. However, the result of Shubh, which brings everyone to their knees, has been told so easily that it surprises and disappoints to some extent. Makers have indicated that despite the end of Shubh, there may be a return of Asura.
Solution to curiosities
Actors and technicians have done their work well in the series. There is sharpness in Barun Sobti's performance. There is also diversity in his character. The father who has lost his daughter, the pain of separation from his wife, working with his senior despite disagreements with him, the mind games and conflicts with Asura, all of which he portrays with gusto. Arshad Warsi is nineteen years away from him, but for this the writers and directors needed to work. The roles of Riddhi Dogra and Anupriya Bansal run on a straight track. While Vishel Bansal and Atharva Vishwakarma are frozen in their respective roles. The background music of the series gives it strong support. The camerawork is good, but fails to make the required impact in some of the larger-than-life scenes. If you have seen the first season of Asura, then definitely the second one will solve your curiosities.
