'Inside
Edge',
one
of
the
most
talked-about
Amazon
Prime
originals
of
2018,
was
anything
but
a
flawless
attempt
at
storytelling,
however,
it
clicked
with
fans
due
to
its
sensational
content.
'Inside
Edge
Season
2',
the
second
instalment
of
the
series,
is
just
as
captivating
and
gripping
as
expected,
virtually
taking
the
'game'
to
the
next
level.
Read
the
detailed
review
to
know
more.
Plot
'Inside
Edge
Season
2'
revolves
around
the
chaos
that
prevails
when
the
feisty
Vayu
Raghavan
(Tanuj
Virwani)
locks
horns
with
his
former
captain
Arvind
Vashisht
(Angad
Bedi)
on
the
cricket
field.
The
show
also
deals
with
the
drug
abuse
menace,
making
it
a
murkier
affair
than
the
first
part.
Execution
The
basic
storyline
of
the
show
is
quite
predictable
and
generic
in
nature.
However,
it
makes
an
impact
due
to
the
smart
presentation.
Most
episodes
feature
plenty
of
colourful
language
and
effective
twists
and
this
helps
them
click
with
the
'Gen
Y'
audience.
The
crackling
chemistry
between
the
main
characters
works
in
the
show's
favour,
upping
its
recall
value
big-time.
The
cricket
matches
have
been
shot
pretty
well
and
are
likely
to
click
with
enthusiasts.
On
the
flip
side,
the
track
involving
Vayu's
'mentor'
lacks
depth
and
feels
forced.
Similarly,
some
of
the
scenes
involving
Zarina
(Richa
Chaddha)
and
'Bhaisaab'
(Aamir
Bashir)
act
as
speed
breakers.
Performances
Vivek
Oberoi
is
impressive
as
usual.
His
swag
and
charismatic
dialogue
delivery
add
a
new
dimension
to
his
intriguing
character.
Angad
Bedi
and
Tanuj
Virwani
do
full
justice
to
their
roles,
emerging
as
Inside
Edge
Season
2's
backbone.
Richa
Chaddha
is
decent
and
meets
expectations.
Sapna
Pabbi
ups
the
glam
quotient
but
fails
to
deliver
a
compelling
performance.
Amit
Sial
makes
the
most
of
his
limited
role,
proving
talent
is
his
middle
role.
However,
Siddhant
Chaturvedi
is
unable
to
get
into
the
depth
of
his
character,
failing
to
highlight
his
trauma.
Aamir
Bashir
is
sincere
but
lacks
the
screen
presence
to
pull
off
such
a
powerful
role.
Sayani
Gupta
is
adequate.

which
should
click
