Taaza Khabar season 1 surprised me. It looked like just another story about struggles in Mumbai, cramped spaces which you desperately want to crawl out of, but very few can. Bhuvan Bam’s Vasant Gawde is able to do that, literally due to a miracle – a vardaan that is granted to him in return for a good deed. This made the series interesting and different from others. With comedy, emotions and very relatable aspirations attached, director Himank Gaur sets out to narrate a story that should potentially resonate with everybody struggling in this big city that never sleeps.

What is Taaza Khabar season 2 about?

Season 1 ended with a cliffhanger, leaving the audience guessing what could the next course of action be. Season 2 begins right where season 1 ended, showing how Vasant tries to cheat his own fate. Someone else catches up with him though – Yusuf (Jaaved Jaaferi) – who lost a lot of money because of Vasant’s tricks in the first season. He is blackmails Vasant, who is now penniless, to get him an insane amount of money is a short period of time. While the first season was about Vasant’s accumulation of wealth, the second one becomes about him trying his best to get out of this sticky situation.
