BREATHE Into The Shadows Review

On Amazon Prime Video, Breath Season One (2018) had a clear message that there is only one rule to save your loved ones that there is no bloody rule. Breath season two begins on this rut. When a parent comes to know that his child’s life is at stake, he can also become a killer. Breath: These words come true in Into the Shadows, when the six-year-old daughter of psychiatrist Avinash Sabharwal (Abhishek Bachchan) is picked up from her friend’s birthday party and the kidnapper asks the doctor to commit the murders one by one. is. To save the daughter’s life, the doctor also takes the life of three people, but how and for how long can the police keep him in the dark.

Abhishek Bachchan, who struggled continuously in his film innings, would do something like ‘What an Idea Sir Ji’ in a digital debut, it was a big question in the Corona era. but that did not happen. He followed the straightforward, no-risk path of the web series, which goes through kidnappings, murders, forensic investigations, some medical jargon, personal tragedy of a police officer, and mutual rivalry of the police department. Efforts are made to create thrills and suspense on the pretext of these things. Then the police file appears more than the story. There are ways to commit crime more than emotions. Probably the result of this is that those who see regular webseries will not be surprised if parts of Breath: Into the Shadows will be seen in the shadow of the popular webseries Asura which came on Voot this year.

Stories like Breath are actually created on the lines of crimes committed in Western countries. But then to make them desi-made, the symbols of Indian / Hindu mythology are picked up and decorated with silver like silver on sweet. Breath: into the shadows also does the same. When the process of getting the murders done by the kidnapper of little Sia to Dr. Avinash starts, the question arises why he is doing it. Moving slowly in the twelve episodes, the answer is that Riya is the one to lift Siya. Whose ten invisible heads are work, anger, fascination, ego, intoxication, greed, fear, hatred, jealousy, malice. These heads are negative powers, but Ravana considers them to be his strength. Ravana of Braid is killing those who demonstrate these powers in front of him by Doctor Avinash. Along with finding the killer, the police are trying to find out what the murders are trying to convey. But the truth is that even after all the episodes are over, the viewer does not get the exact answer.

Breath: Into the Shadows creates a little mystery in the beginning but does not create excitement. Abhishek Bachchan’s cool face does not connect with the viewer. The only drawback was in his films. The story puts Abhishek at the center and gives him many opportunities to create magic. But he is not very successful in showing the brightness. At the same time, the story-writer Mayank Sharma-Vikram Tuli-Bhavani Iyer Breath: Into the Shadows is unable to handle the mystery for a long time and by the fourth episode it is revealed who kidnapped the little Siya, who is called her ‘deserted garden’. Kept in The question remains why. The answer is boring and cumbersome as we move forward. From here begins the story of Ravana who hides his face under a mask and takes a heavy breath and walks with some limp. The story also starts limping along with Ravana. There is no Ram or Hanuman in the story, but Kabir Sawant (Amit Sadh), an officer of Delhi Crime Branch, eventually reaches Sia while searching for the killer. After some drama, he manages to save her.

Amit Sadh’s character (Kabir Sawant) has progressed from Season One and his transfer takes place from Mumbai to Delhi Crime Branch. He has lived the complexity of his role and the scenes he came in, the story is stilted. Nitya Menon’s part in the character of Abha Sabharwal is not a very remarkable scene, but in the role of Colgirl Shirley, Spartan Kher has got less time to leave the impression. The challenge of writing webseries is to keep it interesting constantly, but the temptation to stretch the story in Hindi is not seen. Non-essential characters and scenes are woven into the original story. Which can not be removed even in editing. This has also happened in Breath: into the shadows. The result is that in many places its speed slows down and once the kidnapper’s secret is revealed, in many places, things remain the same. Nothing concrete appears.
