Parampara Season 2 Review – Compact But Treads Familiar Path

Crime, Drama

What Is the Story About?

The battle of one-upmanship between Nagendra Naidu (Sarath Kumar) and Gopi (Naveen Chandra) continues in Parampara’s second season. 

How does Gopi come out of jail and execute his plans to topple the reign of Nagendra Naidu? Did he change his father, Mohan Rao (Jagapathi Babu), attitude and loyalty towards Nagendra Naidu is the core plot of Parampara season two.

Performances?

There are hardly any new characters introduced in Parampara’s second season. Naveen Chandra and the gang continue from where they left previously. The young actor is in his element, with a role tailor-made for him. Unlike season one, there aren’t multiple shades for him this time, though. It is all about face-to-face conversations and acting tough. Naveen Chandra pulls it off with ease. 

Jagapathi Babu and Sarath Kumar remain the other main pillars who hold the series together. They are fine, but we have seen it all before. As seniors, they engage even when the proceedings offer nothing new. Their effectiveness is a critical aspect in continuing with the narrative. 

Analysis

Krishna Vijay L and Vishwanath Arigela, the duo behind season one, direct the new season. The story is a direct continuation of the first one and resumes the rivalry between Gopi and Nagendra Naidu. 

The highlight of Parampara, despite its shortcomings, is the setting. It is set in a large, powerful family that is steeped in politics. The in-family rivalry makes things interesting even though nothing new. How Gopi and Naidu go against each other brings intrigue. 

Parampara 2, without wasting time, immediately gets into the thick of things. It is here that it differs from the first season. The narrative is lean and mostly sticks to the point of the clash. It is also why the whole thing sometimes looks rushed, too. 

The predictability also adds to the weakening of engagement. The ending of a few subplots could be seen miles away. The entire jail track, for example. However, amidst this, there is one involving a prisoner and an attack that holds things together. The crucial drama of the second season revolves around that plot, and it is done well. It maintains an intriguing factor even though nothing out of the blue happens. 

The romantic drama involving the three main youngers of the series is the weakest part of the whole season. Whenever it arrives, the narrative comes to a screeching halt. Luckily, it comes only in bits and doesn’t drown the entire story. 

The ending is again set up for a new season. It is alright, but it does the critical work of generating curiosity. The battle lines are clearly drawn now, which makes one wonder what else could lie ahead. 

Overall, Parampara Season Two ends up being similar to the first one. The short length makes it compact, but it also makes it look rushed. If you have seen the first season, do give it a try. It is a passable outing.

Other Artists?

Aakanksha Singh has a decent part in season two, as well. It isn’t anywhere near the first part, though. The same is the case with Ishan, who had a substantial role previously. He is missing in action for most of the duration. If this is the case with the major players, the less said about the others, the better. Aamani is better among those.

Music and Other Departments?

Naresh Kumaran’s background score is ordinary as it was before. There are a few bits which work well, but overall, nothing impressive. SV Vishwweshwar’s cinematography is below par. There was scope for gritty visuals considering some backdrops, but they weren’t utilised well. The production values, however, continue to be good. Tammiraju’s editing is neat and keeps the pace decent, if not crispy. The dialogues could have been better.

Highlights?

Cohesive Narrative 

Small Twists 

Drawbacks?

Direction 

Predictable In Parts 

Did I Enjoy It?

Yes, In Parts 

Will You Recommend It?

Yes, But With Reservations
