Save The Tigers Season 2 Web Series Rating: 2.25/5
The first season of Save The Tigers has been a surprise hit on OTT. Priyadarshi, Abhinav and Krishna Chaitanya trio excelled in Masti, Grand Masti, Pellam Oorelithe, Tirumala Tirupathi Venkatesa, Kshemamga Velli Labhamga Randi kind of set up. Viewers loved watching their antics and the comedy web series had many moments that became meme moments. Hence. the makers have brought second season to the famous show on 15th March. Let’s discuss about the season 2 and how it entertains in comparison with the first one.
Plot:
Season 2 starts off following the events of season 1. The main characters all try to form a relationship with Hamsalekha(Seerat Kapoor). Each of them want to reach next level and think about taking big leaps. They all want to use Hamsalekha’s name and try to use her contacts as well. Them being frustrated husbands, they try to escape from the “clutches” of their wives in new ways but now, their wives are also fed up by them. What happens in their lives due to their high goals and due to Hamsalekha is the plot of this season.
Analysis:
While the first season has been a hit among the viewers, season 2 doesn’t really stand up to the hype. The first two episodes start off in same style as the season one. But as the story unfolds the comedy starts to fizzle out. The loud characters in unfunny scenes and situations tend to irritate us. Mainly, Srikanth Iyyengar and Priyadarshi had been asked to over do everything a tad bit. The writing fails to sustain any kind of momentum it had set in the first season and first two episodes.
Abhinav Gomatam has some moments to shine and he does have natural timing to shine in those scenes. But he too finds it hard to sustain as the scenes are stretched out to the maximum. Even the number of characters have been increased so much that the plot has lost its focus. Above everything, the repetitiveness of the jokes and some sort of scenes make it even more hard to watch without skipping. Had the jokes have been as good and sharp as season one, this could been a good addition to previous season.
The plot has enough material that has not been explored to the fullest. Krishna Chaitanya could not bring the same energy like he did in the first one. Writers should have taken much more care in creating innovative situations for this trio to explore. This season does underwhelm in many aspects and it could have been much much better with even more imaginative writing. Performances wise and even the production values doesn’t really appeal to us. May be makers have been in hurry to give another season, one tends to feel so.
Positives:
Few one-liners
First episode
Some jokes
Negatives:
Lethargic writing
Underwhelming jokes
Irritating characters
Very routine situations
Save The Tigers Season 2 Web Series Bottom-line: Underwhelming for the hype
