One can be the biggest mastermind of them all when it comes to committing a crime, however there are those little clues that would entrap you eventually. It could be a pen, a lip balm or perhaps, just a footprint; eventually there would be something small out there that would lead to something big.
However, how do you entrap a criminal who commits a crime, forgets all about it and then walks into the room in plain sight?
Well, this is what makes Breathe: Into the Shadows super exciting as there is a character within a character, layer within a layer, and story within a story at play here. What you see may actually seem true, but how do you tackle a situation when there is something explosive, something truly dramatic waiting to be unveiled?
It is this very unveiling that comes to the mid-point of this Mayank Sharma directed...

Breathe 2: Into The Shadows (Amazon Prime Video)
Starring Abbhishek Bachchan, Nithya Menon, Amit Sadh, Saiyami Kher
Directed by Mayank Sharma
In Mani Ratnam’s Raavan Abhishek Bachchan played Raavan. In Breathe 2, Raavan plays Abhishek. There are mindgames based on the expression of each one of Raavan’s ten heads, manoeuvring Abhishek’s character through a series of clumsy capital crimes . So mindless are these mindgames that one is grateful Raavan had only 10 heads.If there were more, this series may have extended itself into some more episodes. And Breathe would have killed us all with the sheer lack of breathing space in the plot.
This is not to say that the storytelling is taut. Not at all! Loose-limbed and shaggy to the point of seeming lazy, the indolent tone of narration would have been excusable were it not so ridiculously self-important. It is hard to believe that it took four writers(Bhavani Iyer,...

I have just seen the most compromised and utterly mediocre version of my all time favourite Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, a date with Mansoor Khan?s iconic cult gem in 1992 with candy gloss and what not of Dharma Productions ? SOTY2 is a nightmare on the picturesque Dehradun/Mussoorie streets.
