BREATHE INTO THE SHADOWS REVIEW :
CAST AND CREW : Abhishek bachchan, Amit Sadh, Nithya menon
REVIEW : The sequel to the crime thriller Breathe starring Madhavan released on Amazon Prime this friday. For this second season the story revolves around two new characters Avinash and Abha played by Abhishek Bachchan and Nithya Menon respectively along with several other characters. The only continuing characters in this series are Kabir Sawant played by Amith Sadh and the comic relief character Kamble played by Hrishikesh joshi. Lets see how this series goes. Avinash and Abha are a happy couple living in Delhi with their daughter Sia. Avinash is a well reputed psychiatrist who helps policemen in solving several crimes and Abha is a Chef. Avinash drops her daughter in her friend's birthday party one day and someone kidnaps her from that place. Parents, Police and their friends try to search her for many months but they don't find any luck. After suffering from grave trauma for a long period of time they finally lose their hopes about their daughter and accept that she is not going to return. Just then the sociopath who kidnapped their daughter starts to send in the clues about her existence through messages and to keep her safe asks them to commit heinous crimes in return. How did 2 parents tackle this unusual situation without getting caught to police is briefly the plot of this series.
This Series definitely falls into the Big league series like Sacred Games, Family Man and Inside Edge as it has the Ensemble Cast and required technicalities like the Lavish Production design, Suitable Costumes and Noteworthy Cinematography. Most of the background score in moments is owed to the first part itself. I felt it would have been much more gripping as this is a thriller. The strongest tool to make a successful thriller is the Screenplay. Unlike Breathe which solely runs of survival of a kid and organ donation, this Breathe into shadows manages to explore new territories like Indian Mythology, Bad Childhood, Homosexuality, Multiple Personality disorder, Prostitution and Work life pressures managing the "Saving Kid" emotion neatly. Every murder in this series has a challenging concept. But since there are so many avenues, things do get a little messed up in few moments. Many times the situations become very convenient for the characters. It would have been much more thrilling if new conflicts added up instead of flattening the thrill. This series also reminds you of films like Seven and Aparichithudu too. But nothing seems blatantly coped from anywhere. The screenplay is organic for sure. While the first part ended perfectly the second season teases another season. Indian Web world is finding a decent space these days due to Lockdown and closure of theatres. In such scenario there is a great chance for Breathe 2 to be liked by audience as this is family friendly and new of its kind. Abhishek Bachchan played 2 different shades in this series. In One shade he shines like a silver but in the other shade there's not much to perform. Audience couldn't figure out whether the character arc itself is like that or he is underperforming. Nitya Menon's role deserves a some more depth and class into it. Amit Sadh did very well in his part. Can surely look out for next season.
Positives : Screenplay, Conceptual Crimes, Technicalities, Screenplay and twists. Negatives : Few convenient scenes, Deeper impact from characters.
