Rana Naidu Season 2 Review: The second season of Rana Naidu begins with an otherwise volatile and belligerent Naga seemingly starting a new life. These days, he begins his days in Goa’s Siolem with Anulom Vilom. One could say that he has finally embraced his age. And this precisely is the irony that sets the stage for season two because shortly after, he steps into an akhara cheering on two bloodthirsty wrestlers to finish one another and urging spectators to place their money and bets on them. And then enters his estranged son Rana, who – coerced by circumstances – has to fight a brawny and merciless Dynamite D’Souza.
Thus, begins a bloody brawl in the ring and Rana, who promises Naga that he will bow down to Dynamite D’Souza and let him win, lets his machismo get the better of him and smashes him to a pulp. Despite the mood being set perfectly well, Rana Naidu eventually ends up being a firecracker that fizzles out. This time around, the makers decided to sober down the tonality of the series – probably due to the incessant backlash they were subjected to back in 2023. So, this season offers less violence, less sex and less profanity.
