Hostages 2 on Disney Hotstar is interesting

Hostages 2 is no Money Heist, as we know this adaptation of an Israeli series rather pans out in many directions. Those familiar with Season one of Hostages are well clued in to the twists and turns the previous kidnap drama entailed. In case, you haven’t watched the first season we suggest read no further or at least watch the season one before tuning into the second one.

Hostages 2 on Disney Hotstar is interestingFor the current season takes off exactly from where the first one culminated. The Chief Minister (Dalip Tahil), the country thinks is dead, but he is very much alive and taken hostage to ensure a bone marrow transplant for his illegitimate daughter. Sure not all characters of the previous season are part of the second outing. Certainly there is a degree of familiarity, but not one that would breed outright contempt. There are many fresh chapters and characters.

Hostages 2Dino Morea as the man who kills faster than one blinks an eye is as devilishly handsome as his sinister acts. Divya Dutta comes on hard (pun intended) in her introductory scene, but soon begins to fit into her part even though her superior’s (Kanwaljit Singh) open admiration for her work is kind of inexplicable. For, as a negotiator, she seems to be giving more than getting in return. Shibani Dandekar as corporate honcho ups the glamour quotient and you can only nod when Shweta Prasad Basu as a young intelligence officer gushes; she is hot. But things get really hot when the rookie officer takes upon herself to unravel a mystery behind a killing whose ripples can be felt all across. On emotional ground, ailing wife, harried husband, kidnapped daughter, and concerned friend, Hostages doesn’t really land well. Yet it’s high on thrills, especially in the manner in which it ropes-in and connects its new characters as well as rejigs a few old ones.
