The new season of ‘SHE’ is trending in Netflix’s Global Top 10 within two weeks of its release. The series has been watched for more than 9.5 mn hours and has been trending at top spot on Netflix India’s Top TV list for the week.
‘SHE’ Season 2, written and created by Imtiaz Ali, directed by Arif Ali and produced by Viacom 18 Studios Tipping Point and Window Seat Films features a talented ensemble cast, Aaditi Pohankar, Kishore Kumar G, Vishwas Kini, Shivani Rangole, Sam Mohan, Suhita Thatte, amongst others.
Aaditi reprises her bold role as Bhumika Pardeshi (Bhumi), a constable who goes undercover as a sex worker to discover the secrets in the dark alleys of Mumbai’s underbelly. Embracing a double life she constantly battles between duty and desire, juggling responsibilities, strenuous relationships and suppressed secrets. She is absolutely magnetic in the way she plays the double risk of being the hunter and the hunted, finding herself falling deeper into the complex web of Nayak’s plans whilst smoothly thwarting Fernandez’s suspicions.
Imtiaz Ali, writer and showrunner of the series stated, “I am elated at the response because I feel that the basic conflict of ‘She’ is very subtle and internal. It’s about a woman who feels she has no sexual prowess and when she has to put on an act of being a sex-worker as part of her call of duty, she discovers that the very thing that used to be her biggest disadvantage becomes her biggest weapon. Something that’s so internal and subtle has found traction with the global audience and that is a matter of great happiness and hope for me. It encourages me to come up with more interesting although subtle story ideas in the future.”
