I just finished binge watching the second season of Masaba Masaba and have got to say that it is better than the first. It\u2019s not as frivolous as Season 1. Masaba seems to have gotten thinner, more mature and less focused on Instagram. There’s also a stronger element of romance with not one but two contenders. The spirit of Masaba Masaba remains the same though. Masaba’s infectious energy and love of work and life is, as before, a pleasure to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are probably aware if you have heard my review of the first season<\/a><\/strong> that in this series Masaba Gupta and her mother Nina Gupta play fictionalized characters based on their real lives. The 2nd season brings in a lot of the real world events and happenings – like the death of Wendell Rodricks<\/strong><\/a> who was a father figure and a career mentor to Masaba. The mother daughter duo also broach certain real life controversial topics such as Masaba’s relationship with her father and Neena Gupta’s personal love life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Masaba Masaba Season two is from the female point of view and quite modern in its sensibilities. It doesn’t try hard to be cool which is refreshing, and honestly, with its focus on female lives and friendships, is the counterpart to all the bromance movies that rule Bollywood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not all smooth sailing though. Masaba and ma dearest don’t always see eye to eye. Masaba rolls her eyes at her mom\u2019s intrusiveness and Nina Gupta makes passive aggressive comments about Masaba\u2019s lifestyle, and looks askance at her egg-freezing plans. Gia and Masaba bond over have heart-to-heart conversations about romantic connections and PQ, Masaba’s \u201cho\u201d phase and Gia’s depression. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With her head designer, Masaba has conversations about a woman’s role in the home and the desire to have it all – career, family, love, success and happiness. Oh, all the lovely conversations! It is great to hear women talking to each other about themselves, their own hopes and desires, as individuals with needs of their own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acting wise Masaba Gupta does a fair job. Nina Gupta is as amazing as ever. Neil Bhoopalam as the conservative, staid investor Dhairya Rana does exceedingly well. There is a scene in the series where he is backing off on his relationship attempt with Masaba and that scene was quite amazing purely because of the way Neil portrays Dhairya\u2019s hurt and reticence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the negative side I thought that Masaba Masaba season two was a little less spontaneous than the previous one. It had a stilted quality where the scenes didn’t flow as well and the dialogues sometimes end on awkward non sequiturs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, Masaba Masaba Season 2 is warm, light, lovely, and feel-good – a real treat to watch!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
