Not many Indian films or shows have been able to capture the black comedy genre as nicely as 바카라˜Sunflower바카라™ did. The show had ample amounts of fun, frolic and laughter, all sewn together by the threat of a murder mystery. After a long wait of 3 years, the second season of the show is finally back and audiences have been dying to know what happens next as the first season left people high and dry about who the actual murderer was. This season comes with a lot of hype, expectations and anticipations on what will happen. So, here바카라™s all you need to know about 바카라˜Sunflower 2바카라™.

바카라˜Sunflower 2바카라™: Story

Picking up from where we left off, police duo DG (Ranvir Shorey) and Tambe (Girish Kulkarni), continue their relentless hunt for Mr. Kapoor바카라™s (Ashwin Kaushal) murderer. This season witnesses Ahuja바카라™s (Mukul Chadda) confession and Rosie바카라™s (Adah Sharma) entry into Sunflower Society. Rosie is a captivating bar dancer, who has inherited Kapoor바카라™s penthouse, raising more questions and spotlight to the case. As the story progresses, love and romance flourishes between Sonu (Sunil Grover) and Rosie바카라¦ How will their equations alter the course of the story? Is there more than what meets the eye? With more intriguing characters emerging as suspects, the question remains: Will the cops nab the actual killer, or they will keep going in circles? This season tries to answer some of these queries.

바카라˜Sunflower 2바카라™: Performances

Sunil Grover proves yet again why he is one of the best actors of the country even today. His antics are so simpleton that it cracks you up every time you watch him as Sonu. The kind of things that he manages to come up with make you believe that there could have been no one better than Sunil Grover to play this character. His dialogue delivery is just so unique in this that you just want to keep listening to him talk. However, there is also a tinge of mystery laden, which makes you feel whether or not he is the one who is actually orchestrating the entire thing.

Girish Kulkarni is fab. His chemistry with Sunil Grover onscreen makes for some of the biggest laughs of the season. What바카라™s brilliant about his performance is that within minutes he can change his persona from being a strict cop to a cunning mastermind. Those changes in expressions make his performance worth the watch.

Adah Sharma is really good. She has played her character with utter perfection. The lingo she uses makes her character comes out even better. Not to forget the gaudy make up that she puts on adds to the character바카라™s overall charm. She plays it with such conviction that you start relating to the character.

Ranvir Shorey, with those heavy eyeglasses, definitely hooks you on. While in the first season he was just a cop trying to solve a case, in this season we see a different side to him as well, which makes things quite more comical.

The other supporting characters don바카라™t have too much of screentime to even give a stand out performance. Unlike the first season, actors like Ashish Vidyarthi, Mukul Chadda, Salonie Khanna Patel and many others have been just wasted with such small screentime that they바카라™ve not been able to give their best.

바카라˜Sunflower 2바카라™: Script, Direction & Technical Aspects

The writing by Vikas Bahl, Jasmit Singh Bhatia, Chaitali Parmar, Surrya Menon, Shishya Sushant Ray and Aarti R Kapur is the best part about 바카라˜Sunflower 2바카라™. Not many shows are able to start a new season right from where they left the previous season and get you hooked onto the story within minutes. Vikas Bahl and the team have managed to do that. They바카라™ve managed to get the characters to come out so quirky and different from one another. Also, they바카라™ve been able to get the interactions of the characters feel so hilarious, yet at the same time keep the mystery of the murder intact. That바카라™s a brilliant dichotomy to achieve and they바카라™ve got it to near perfection.

Navin Gujral바카라™s direction is good. He is able to give you a great black comedy which not only keeps you on the edge of your seats with its mystery, but it also keeps you laughing throughout at the funny antics of the lead, Sunil Grover.

Navagat Prakash바카라™s cinematography has nothing innovative. There is barely anything that바카라™s you will find that he has tried new. He has used some drone shots but they too look age old and there바카라™s nothing groundbreaking in them. It바카라™s possibly the weakest link in the show.

The editing by Konark Saxena is crisp. He has managed to keep the episodes short so as not to bore you, but also long enough to keep you engrossed in the story.

바카라˜Sunflower 2바카라™: Can Kids Watch It?

Yes

Outlook Verdict

Despite being made really well, 바카라˜Sunflower 2바카라™ once again leaves you high and dry. Just like the first season, this season too leaves you with a suspense at the end as to who the real murderer is. Also, once again Sunil Grover is caught up amidst everything. Slowly it바카라™s starting to feel that maybe it바카라™s his mastery at planning only because of which everything is happening. But one can바카라™t be sure unless the next season comes. Sunil Grover has once again proved his exceptional talent. This is definitely a Great One Time Watch. I am going with 3.5 stars.
