What Works for Bandit Bandits: Season 2
Bandish Bandits Season 2 is a wonderful blend of music and extremely engaging drama. There is a lot of richness and uniqueness in the content offered and what makes it different from the rest of the shows available on the internet. Every conflict is engaging, be it the inter-household battle for supremacy, or Radhe trying to find the middle path between tradition and modernity, or simply the love track between Radhe and Tamannaah. Season 2 feels absolutely organic and necessary and at no point does it feel like the creators are taking advantage of the popularity of the first season. The songs are as lovely as they were in Season 1. The production value has improved. Clever writing and a sensitivity to what’s important make Bandish Bandits: Season 2 a definite watch.
What Doesn’t Work for Bandit Bandits: Season 2
Bandish Bandits: Season 2 is no slouch. Season 2 does not explore the subplot of supporting characters, as the focus remains more on the international band competition. Additionally, the show slows down a bit in the middle, and a tighter script could have made this musical-drama a lot smoother. Barring these minor issues, Bandish Bandits: Season 2 is very entertaining. Season 3 is eagerly awaited.
