The succession drama, a desi ‘Game of Thrones’ based on Mughal reign in India from the time of Akbar, designed to mimic ‘House of the Dragon,’ continues to spew its standard issue rigors of decadence, vendetta, betrayal, lust, murder, mystery, action, and twists and turns that literally confound. The fictionally imagined and historic recants merge so well that it all seems so real. It’s a thrill a minute roller-coaster ride through Princely times where power is the greatest elixir and everyone within the palace walls seeks to have a finger in the pie by hook or by crook. TAJ S2 begins 15 years after S1 ended, and charters Salim’s journey from being exiled to his return and eventual ascent to the coveted throne. The acting is great, Nasseruddin Shah is inimitably tragic as the forlorn King Akbar, Aashim Gulati does well to lend emotive sustenance to Salim/Jehangir and Padma Damodaran, Sandhya Mridul, and Sauraseni Mitra make a meal of their roles with dignity and womanly viles befitting queens. There’s far more intensity here than in season 1, set design, production values, and cinematography are first-rate, editing keeps the story arcs and flow consistent, strong, and momentous and the dialogue manages to make the conversations crisp and succinct.
