Actor Naveen Chandra shines in the new season of ‘Parampara’, which, though not wholly intriguing, is an improvement on season one
The Telugu political drama series Parampara, streaming on Disney+ Hotstar, does a better follow-up after a lacklustre start
Season two is a marked improvement on season one and holds some intrigue in its tussle of one-upmanship in a warring family.
Given the scope to showcase his mettle in a better fleshed out character
actor Naveen Chandra scores amid the large star cast that includes heavyweights such as Sarathkumar and Jagapathi Babu.
The first season played out like an old-school political family drama that explored political inheritance and rivalry across generations.
After the demise of Good Samaritan Veera Naidu (Murali Mohan)
his adopted son Mohan Rao (Jagapathi Babu) is expected to take over his political mantle but the biological son Nagendra Naidu (Sarathkumar) will have none of it.
Mohan Rao graciously steps back but the tug of war raises its ugly head in the next generation with Rao’s son Gopi (Naveen Chandra) and Naidu’s son Suresh (Ishaan) at loggerheads.
