Jamtara Web Series Season 2 Review

Thus, Jamtara season 1 was a program that debuted at the same time as the epidemic. For many of us, it was the first show we binge-watched while on lockdown. Add to that the fact that the program dealt with a fraud that has victimized each of us at some point in our lives. The show had a unique idea and an intriguing plot that put us inside our phones, right in the middle of a scam we initially thought involved only a small community. Though it’s fiction, I think you understand.

In order to once more dispel the fear of unidentified numbers and messages, the creators have decided to revive the show after two years. The second season picks up a few weeks after the first one ended, with writing by Kanishka & Ashwin Verman and a fresh concept by Nishank Verma. The hamlet has become a center for phishing, and it is no longer a secret that everyone who can make outbound calls wants to use this method. As they follow Rocky (Anshuman), just as the dead followed the Night King, a brand-new political game is playing out in the community.

It appears that the creators are aware of how repetitive their topic is. Because the audience won’t be hooked for much longer if the same pattern of men and women robbing innocent individuals through false phone calls is followed. They, therefore, horizontally expand their program and place more of Jamtara in front of the camera. Enter Seema Pahwa, who opposes Amit Sial and sparks a political conflict that dominates season 2. Because the idea is expanded, there is a lot to understand. Characters from the first season occasionally appear, and references are occasionally made in passing. Therefore, you must view the first season’s summary before watching this.

Additionally, the way that writer Soumendra Padhi and filmmaker Soumendra Padhi depict this community right now gives off a sense of turmoil. Because there is a whole monster called local politics involved, it’s not just a bunch of young men and some kids getting rich quickly. As a result, the game just gets bigger and the tensions get worse. The heart of the program lies in revealing the size of the criminal world of phishing and how simple it is to enter and remain there if you don’t want to move up the ladder.

This is also made feasible by the cinematographer, Sayak Bhattacharya, who has changed Kaushal Shah’s close-up perspective of the village to one from above. Sayak’s frames are more of an entrance to the craziness, while Shah’s work helps us understand the landscape. The phishing gang’s useless phones are hung from a banyan tree that they captured in a distant country. The image of that tree with the phones hanging from it really captures the situation in the hamlet and makes the severity clear.

Of course, there is more intergroup conflict and some relationships are formed and severed, but there is also plenty that is ignored.

What About The Performance?

The Jamtara cast has now fully internalized their roles to the point that they can act without dressing as them. Whether it is Sparsh Srivastav’s haughtiness and gesturing even with one leg missing, Monika Panwar’s discovering her strength through silence, or Anshuman Pushkar grappling with a crucial decision, everything appears real and never lets us lose our grasp. Panwar, in particular, has the most challenging task this season of all the OGs. In the midst of all the man-children, she undergoes a total character change, and the actress does a wonderful job of it.

The preferred politician right now for OTT producers is Amit Sial. I believe he has a legitimate claim to run in a genuine election, and if he did, he might win because he is that good. But at this point, a respite is also necessary. He is accompanied by the outstanding Seema Pahwa, who can do no wrong in the world. Dibyendu Bhattacharya keeps getting better at what he does.

We are certainly entertained by Jamtara Season 2, but that is not its only goal. With the announcement of a third season, the writers have improved the conclusion, and we can only hope that this trend will continue throughout season 3.
