MADE IN HEAVEN 2 STORY, ACTING REVIEW

From showcasing the opulence of our Indian weddings to tackling the issues and grim realities that are neatly hidden in society, Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti's series hits the ball out of the park once again. MIH 2 carries forward the legacy of the franchise, which earned love from all corners when it beamed in 2019. It picked off from where it ended in the first season.

While our diva Tara is struggling with her divorce and taking care of her niece's education, Karan's life takes a turn as he deals with his mother's cancer diagnosis. While their personal life is messy, Karan and Tara are also facing issues in keeping their company on the right track. From working in an old and shabby house to adapting to the new status quo, the duo is forced to take up challenges head-on.

There's a new auditor for Made In Heaven, who is introduced by Jauhari to clean up the mess in the company as it failed to register profits. Bulbul Jauhari turned out to be the star of the series, courtesy of her charm and wits. The new season once again mirrored social issues like obsession with fair skin and domestic violence.

Although the story and plot get preachy at times, it manages to keep you invested. Once again, the creators have portrayed the characters in the most humane way, keeping them relatable. Arjun Mathur and Sobhita Dhulipala's swag and sass continue in the sequel as they delivered an earnest performance. The new brides, be it Mrunal Thakur or Radhika Apte played their part to the T.

While Shashank Arora and Shivani Raghuvanshi did their act honestly, the new additions- Trinetra Haldar and Ishwak Singh are a treat to watch. Mona Singh was the highlight of the show as her character strikes a chord instantly. What a performance!

MONA SINGH STEALS THE SHOW IN MADE IN HEAVEN 2

There was never a doubt that she is a talented artist. She took things a notch higher with her impressive performance as Bulbul, who has her own story. Mona Singh pulled off the character with Elan, stealing all the limelight from others. She's a treat to watch and delivers a 'seeti maar' performance in Made In Heaven 2.

EDITING COULD BE TIGHTER, DURATION IS AN ISSUE

Made In Heaven 2 was marred by the duration as certain portions of the episodes could be trimmed. Tight editing always works in favour of the web series. Certain scenes could be chopped off and the duration of the seven-episode series could be reduced. It was a minor hiccup as the power-packed performance, stunning visuals, grandeur and impressive screenplay were enough to engage the audience.

Wondering whether to watch Made In Heaven 2? We will highly recommend it as the four-year wait is worth it. Zoya Akhtar's web show is dramatic, intense and endearing, making for a perfect weekend binge-watch. The series deserves a watch for its storytelling, stellar act, and the way it is aesthetically shot.
