Tvf is back again with the second season of its hit show Aspirants, which dives further into the memorable characters. Some, like Sandeep Bhaiya and Sk, have had their own spin-off shows, but it is in the second season that all of them reunite, and the drama takes off. We have come to associate Tvf with heartwarming and uplifting dramedies, but Aspirants Season 2 stays clear of the comedy. Very unlike Tvf, this season does not have humor as a sweet coating, which gives a feel-good vibe to Tvf shows. Sure, there may be very dark and heavy episodes sometimes, but the humor is always there. Aspirants works by inducing conflicts between almost all the characters and then stretching the scenes, sometimes into over-sentimental territories. That’s a nice technique to constantly keep the viewer engaged in the ever-evolving drama, but the knots they find themselves in are not that easy to truthfully resolve.

The popular TV drama series ‘Aspirants’ has unveiled the trailer of its second season. Following the events of Season 1, nothing is the same now as Abilash tries to balance his personal life and work after becoming an Ias officer, causing a crack in old friendships.
Every character has a problem of their own, though the primary focus here is Abhilash who after becoming an Ias officer from an aspirant has caused a wreck in his personal life.
The character who was once an aspirant much like his friends Guri, S.K, Sandeep Bhaiyya, and Dhariya is now keeping his old friends at an arm’s length.
The narrative presented in the trailer cuts back to scenes of both the past and the present, as the three Ias aspirants come closer to the end of their long and strenuous journey alongside senior aspirant Sandeep Bhaiyya, only to find new challenges facing them.

The Mishra's are back. Season 2 of the incredible Gullak by Tvf that streamed on SonyLIV is back and how! Gullak 2 is all set to premiere on SonyLIV from 15th January 2021.
Gullak 2 review
Things have somewhat changed in the Mishraji’s household. Elder son Annu (Vaibhav Raj Gupta) has unfortunately not been able to score at the Staff Selection Commission examination and Aman (Harsh Yar) is facing his board exams.
The rest is however the same in these five episodes of small little realistic slice of life gems.
Pati dev aka Husbandji Santosh (Jameel Khan) is the same honest clerk in the electricity department. Dharam Patni aka biwi matlab wife Shanti (Geetanjali Kulkarni) is making that chutney on that seel baata (grinding stone – for the English medium fellas).
These five kisse not kahani written by Durgesh Singh and helmed by Palash Vaswani are straight out of middle-class life, especially from the small town.
