Review 8 HOSTAGES S02 (2020)

 

GENRE- Crime, Thriller, Drama


Streaming On- Disney+ Hotstar


Language- Hindi


CAST- Ronit Roy, Divya Dutta, Dino Morea, Aashim Gulati, Sweta Basu.


Created By- Sudhir Mishra


No. Of Episodes- 10


Plot- Hostages S02 starts where the previous season ends. Prithvi Singh(Ronit Roy) after capturing Handa, unfortunately gets trapped in an old mansion where he plays the hostage route to get a clean exit and meanwhile save his wife’s life. Things go sideways when a hitman starts killing people in order to find Handa.


Review- Hostages S02 has typically dramatized events to add MASALA for our Indian Audience. It is fairly engaging with twists and cliffhangers at regular intervals Director Sudhir Mishra has made great efforts in adding multiple parallel plots leading to unraveling of dark Secrets which gives this show a better angle. Meanwhile for those who have watched Money Heist, many events may look quite similar to the scenes that we have already seen. While not quite as riveting as its precursor, this season has impressive production values and fine perfomances.

Among them are Ronit Roy, who returns as mastermind Prithvi Singh, Aashim Gulati as Prithvi’s sensitive and steadfast brother-in-law and Divya Dutta as the perceptive negotiator. Dino Morea and Sweta Basu have also done brilliantly as the hitman and investigator.



PROs-

  • Better Production Value + Multiple twists and cliffhangers

  • Divya Dutta and Ronit Roy’s Performance

.

FINAL RATING- 6.5/10

.

VERDICT- Overall, Hostages S02 is a definite binge worthy material with regular twists and turns and brilliant performances. But keep in mind this show felt like having overuse of swearing which was not required. In the End it is a quite gripping watch.
