I was worried that season 2 might take a long time after his divorce news and all. But glad to see Naga Chaitanya focusing on work. The puja ceremony looked beautiful with Nagarjuna garu attending. Hope the story picks up from where it left off!
Honestly, the first season was a bit slow in the middle episodes but the climax made up for it. Vikram Kumar knows how to build suspense. Also good to see Nagarjuna supporting his son in this new venture as producer. Family values matter a lot in our industry ❤️
Another OTT series getting season 2! The streaming boom in India is really changing how we consume content. Dhootha had good production values and Chay's performance was decent. Hope season 2 tightens the script a bit more. Expectations are high from Northstar Entertainment.
