Paatal Lok’s Season 2

Amazon Prime Video

Swimmingly escaping the Curse of the second season, Paatal Lok does well, extremely well, in its second season, in spite of the absence of some of some of our beloved characters from the previous season, for example the evil Vishal Tyagi (Abhishek Banerjee) , the hotshot journalist Sanjeev Mehra (Neeraj Kabi) and his neurotic wife Dolly (Swastika Chatterjee).

But the additional characters in this season are so layered and unpredictable, we don’t get a chance to get nostalgic about the losses.

This time, Hathiram and Imran (Ishwak Singh) are in Nagaland investigating a high-profile murder where the prime suspect is a wayward adrift drugged young woman Rose (Merenla Imsong). The rugged unspoilt terrain serves as a solid soundingboard for the investigative procedural which involves a surplus of physical and emotional probing.

In spite of a plot that thickens with every episode, the procedural never gets uninteresting,...

ReviewWhile director Praveen Sattaru’s ‘The Ghost’ has some slick action sequences, there is no compelling story, which is made worse by a contrived screenplay.Balakrishna GaneshanScreenshot/YouTubeNagarjuna’s The Ghost competed at the box-office with megastar Chiranjeevi’s Godfather, a remake of the Malayalam film Lucifer. But director Praveen Sattaru’s The Ghost is not completely an original film either. It is a mix of many Hollywood films, particularly Avengers: Endgame and John Wick. The tragedy of replicating scenes from these films is that both are super popular and audiences can spot them easily. Nagarjuna plays Vikram, an Interpol officer who is an excellent marksman. His daily work involves gunning down criminals. Priya (Sonal Chauhan) is his colleague and girlfriend. The duo eliminates criminals with perfect headshots – like it’s a video game. After situations force Vikram to retire, his anger, triggered by past trauma, ruins his relationship with Priya and they break up.

Actress Gul Panag will be soon seen in the upcoming streaming show ‘Good Bad Girl’.

The actress will be portraying the character of a lawyer for the first time. The show, set against the backdrop of Mumbai, revolves around Maya Ahuja, a lively and quirky girl who has three different stories to tell. The trailer of the show was unveiled on Wednesday in Mumbai’s Juhu area.

Talking about the show, Gul Panag said, “I was quite intrigued by the script and the show’s concept. The story comes with a lot of spunk yet is an everyday story that the audiences will relate to and have a good laugh. The characters are all quirky and freshly written, with various layers to them which add the right spice to the story.”
