A nice show which is not a suspense thriller if you think and expect it to b like the 1st season. The beauty of the show is that despite you know that what has happened, the way and psyche behind it is revealed like peeling onions of human and women psyche. So its genre is not thriller suspense like its season 1 but a social drama.
There are total 8 seasons and not a single moment is drag unlike what some are claiming. Yes, if you don't believe in marital abuse and strong believer of male chauvinism, this show you may not like.
Strength of the show is the layered revealing of psyche and how deep it affects even good and positive characters also unintentionally, that even the main lead, Madhav ji who is fighting for this lady is not totally free from it. Yet, that man has to conscience to find his true pysche, and thus asks his colleague, Nikhat ji, to take up the case as she would do it better.
But this does not mean that you get less of Madhav Mishra in season 2. Noway. In fact his screen time is much more in season 2 and he tells the story in his own way. He remains as lovable and as he was, and add to it his lovely wife, who is bucket innocence and purity. The lovely interactions between Madhavji and his wife "Ratna from Patna" is one of the most lovable and engrossing part of this tale.
Its mainly all women show, where Pankaj Tripathi as usual shines above all as expected. But who shines after him? Anupriya Goenka as Nikhat shines, as Madhav gives her opportunity to lead the case and himself becomes her assistance. May look small but this gesture itself speaks loudly about Madhav and a real man and sensibilities. Story may revolve around Kriti Kulhari, who wears all time scared look, but its Anupriya Goenka who steals the show from her. Anupriya comadiare with Pankaj Tripathi is something which you may call a hit jodi and people would like to watch them more together. Their chemistry is terrific. The child artist has done very good and sensitive job.
The flaws of shows are there: The jail is not as grim and nor running parallel story like season 1. Shilpa Shukla as lady don has not much to do and she looks not convincing. In fact casting director has not done a great job and few characters looked weak, like the lady judge, or the male SI who was looking unecessarily hyperactive jumping jack. Also the story could not convince why the female SI wife left her husband in the last episode. He was not that bad to his wife.
Finally, its the man , Pankaj Tripathi as Madhav Mishra, a poor lawyer who has not even his own laptop and vehicle but beat blue out of opponents due to him sharp intellect, lovable approach towards life and society, and shows everytime that happiness is something which you can wear even in testing times no matter how difficult situations and hardships cover you. When his wife forgets to pack his cloth...he says lightly..."Arrey Goa me koi kapde me ghoomta hai???"...Long live Pankaj Tripathi...this man is brining sanctity to Bollywood and entertainment world which we had stopped seeing long back. This man is holy water to Bollywood!
