“At Prime Video, we pride ourselves on bringing stories and narratives that are not only culturally relevant, but also showcase the rich range of traditions we celebrate in India: ‘Bandish Bandits’. has been such a gem in our diverse slate of originals,” said Nikhil Madhok, Head of Originals, Prime Video India. “With the second season of ‘Bandish Bandits,’ we’ve pushed the boundaries with the music and story, delving into themes of legacy, identity and ambition. It’s a story we’re excited to tell to our customers and we’re confident it will receive the same kind of love and acclaim as the first season.”
“’Bandish Bandits’ is a series that we are extremely proud of. With Season 1, our ambition was to present Indian classical music in an authentic and engaging way, which is rarely explored in mainstream Indian entertainment, and to explore the conflict between tradition and modernity, a theme that resonates with almost everyone,” said Bindra. “With Season 2, we pick up where we left off, but introduce greater conflict as the stakes rise and the tension between Radhe and Tamanna reaches a dramatic crescendo.”
Season 2 of “Bandish Bandits” premieres worldwide on Prime Video on December 13.
