: A lesson for all filmmakers who want to create pulpy thrillers: make your movies or shows relentlessly engaging, and embrace the pulpiness so wholeheartedly that the viewer does not end up dissecting the 'who, how, when' of the narrative. With that said, let me share my thoughts on , the sequel to the 2021 Netflix hit , starring Taapsee Pannu and Vikrant Massey. With Harshvardhan Rane's character dying at the end of the first movie, Sunny Kaushal steps in to replace him in this lusty and toxic love triangle.
Even the director has changed, with Jayprad Desai (of fame) taking over from Vinil Mathew. Kanika Dhillon continues to provide her penmanship for the sequel. .
Months after the events of , Rishabh (Massey) and Rani (Pannu) have escaped from Kasauli to Agra. Since Rishabh is supposedly dead, he assumes a new identity and doesn't live with Rani, who works as a beautician, even though they continue to meet clandestinely. Rishabh is trying to arrange an escape to Thailand so they can live without fear of the police.
However, to thwart their plans, the police investigating Neel's death arrive in their town, led by Mrityunjay Paswan (Jimmy Shergill), aka 'Montu Chacha', who also happens to be the uncle of the deceased victim. In an attempt to allay their suspicions, Rani comes up with an idea: to marry her new admirer, Abhimanyu (Sunny Kaushal), an orphaned compounder. Little does she know that this will further complicate her problems.
does one thing right: it briefly tricke.
