Since it is the last week of the International Women’s Month, I decided that we should celebrate and wrap it with a bang after all. What is life without some fireworks right:) And we will have to wait for one more year so why not give it a classy finish?So, presenting you to my latest pick which makes a badass woman return to serve justice.Yes, in case you have been a regular reader, you might have across a character called Monica Mehra. In case no, do refer to the same. Providing you with the link below: https://wordpress.com/post/theexpressionhub.video.blog/902. But this time, she is back with more sass and badass attitude.

Synopsis: Major Monica Mehra after serving as a lawyer for the Indian Army is promoted to Military Intelligence. She is given in charge of protecting the Chief Minister of the state as part of the Kargil Diwas celebrations. As the chief minister finishes his speech and sits down to eat, an attempt is made to assassinate him is made. Major Monica Mehra with her deductive skills foils the attempt and tries to track down the killer. But unfortunately, the killer/assassin commits suicide by drinking poison. This event triggers a battle in which the truth has to emerge out. After all, how can the sleuth in Monica Mehra be silent if it concerns the army? However, as the truth begins to unfold, some stunning revelations are made. Truths which are uncomfortable in nature;truths which will test loyalties. Will Monica Mehra be able to face it all and stand tall?

Assessment: This one is a sequel which will definitely have your heart. Since, the day I got to know about this, I couldn’t keep my calm. The reason was super simple-it belonged to one of my favorite genres and the second reason was it was about a badass woman who was in the military. I have always admired people in the uniform. They bring a different sass and attitude with them. I sometimes really wished I was an army gal. But its okay if I cannot be one, I can obviously inculcate their traits in my life.

Well, coming to the assessment part, the main protagonist rocks but the person who steals the show is a person who is damn good-looking and strikes the right chord- Angad Sandhu portrayed by the handsome Tanuj Virwani. Also, Ekalavya Kashyap as Rahil Khan

does a fine job. Plus, the story line is more gripping than the first one according to me. The length of the episodes are just right-not too long nor too short. These 8 episodes are a viewer’s delight and keeps you hooked on your seats.

The view: If you are a fan of the crime-thriller genre, then there should be no reason to miss this one. This one is a hidden gem out there. Watch it for the badass and sassy attitude of Monica Mehra. Watch it for the love of men and women in uniform. Watch it for the justice served right. This one will surely appeal to your senses.
