Bandish Bandits season 2: Drama, music and high stakes return on THIS date
'Bandish Bandits' is a musical drama that explores the clash between traditional Indian classical music and modern pop culture.
Bandish Bandits revolves around Tamanna who is a rising pop sensation and is running towards her dreams and a boy Radhe who is a singing prodigy determined to follow in the classical footsteps of his grandfather. The two eventually cross paths and fall in love but are torn apart by legacy but united by music.
The ten-part series stars rising talent Ritwik Bhowmik and Shreya Chaudhry alongside veteran actors including Naseeruddin Shah, Atul Kulkarni, Kunaal Roy Kapur, Sheeba Chaddha and Rajesh Tailang. Bandish Bandits also features an exciting original soundtrack, composed by the legendary musical trio Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, who make their digital debut with the show.
Speaking of Bandish Bandits Shankar Ehsaan Loy said, “Bandish Bandits is special for us in more ways than one. Not only does it mark our digital debut, the soundtrack also allowed us to experiment with contrasting musical genres ranging from Rajasthani folk and Indian Classical to Pop and combine them to create something wholly unique. We’ve worked with artists from across the country for Bandish Bandits and we’re confident that the soundtrack has something for everyone. It’s truly exciting and we hope the audience enjoys it as much as we enjoyed making it.”
