Baarish 2: New episodes review

As the series is bankrolled by producer Ekta Kapoor, the viewers will not find it difficult to predict what is going to happen next. In an attempt to keep the audience hooked to the screen, the makers filled the plot with some unnecessary subplots. Many elements are quite similar to the TV format as a woman protagonist takes the blame to save her family, the lead actor turns out to be a saviour in the last. But if the targeted audience of the makers is the same who likes to watch daily soaps, the final episode of the season might bring delight to them.

Priya Banerjee could have done a better job as rather than adding masala she ended up giving some flat scenes. One thing that the viewers might like about it is that one can binge-watch the series comfortably along with family, except for a few scenes that the TV audience might find odd.
