Overview
- Season 2 is now streaming on SonyLiv, extending the adaptation of the 1975 book into the turbulent 1947–48 period.
- Critics broadly praise the production design, archival integration and monochrome visuals, with performances by Arif Zakaria, Rajendra Chawla and Chirag Vohra singled out.
- Coverage notes cross‑border criticism of Jinnah’s elitist depiction even as many Indian reviewers laud the acting and staging.
- Creator Nikkhil Advani publicly defends the characterization of Jinnah and says he welcomes comparisons to The Crown, adding the series was made on roughly one‑hundredth of that show’s budget.
- The new season dramatizes boundary demarcation and the rushed timeline under Mountbatten, portrays Cyril Radcliffe’s inexperience, and tracks accession battles including Kashmir without romanticizing the era.
