2 - Episode 1 - Bandish Bandits Season

After a three-year wait that felt like an eternity for fans of Indian classical fusion, the highly anticipated second season of Amazon Prime Video’s Bandish Bandits has finally premiered. The first season left viewers on a dramatic cliffhanger: Radhe (Ritwik Bhowmik) chose the legacy of his legendary grandfather, Pandit Radhemohan Rathod, over the love of his life, Tamanna (Shreya Chaudhary). As the curtain fell on Season 1, Tamanna walked away, becoming a viral pop sensation, while Radhe returned to Jodhpur, a broken but dutiful grandson.

No sequel is complete without a new villain, and Bandish Bandits Season 2 delivers one in spectacular fashion.
