Lock Up Season 2: OTT's most popular jail has opened once again. 'Lockup Season 2' has started with a bang on Netflix. This time, in place of Kangana Ranaut, Bollywood's 'Dabangg' director Farah Khan and Ritesh Deshmukh have come as jailers. As soon as these two arrived, they started holding classes for captains and prisoners. Not even eight days have passed since the show started, but the temperature inside the jail has reached its peak.
This time the theme is 'Truth or Punishment', which has given sleepless nights to the contestants. Seeing the game of the first week itself, it has become clear who is a long-distance horse and who is just talking nonsense. Let us tell you about those 5 celebs, who have set the screen on fire and created havoc as soon as they came, and also about those 5 who were being lionized on social media but have proved to be complete 'fuss bombs' as soon as they entered the jail.
Akanksha Chamola made such a blast on the very first day of the show that the entire social media was shaken. She confirmed the news of her divorce with Gaurav Khanna on national television. It is not within everyone's capacity to reveal the bitter truth of one's personal life so boldly. Akanksha remains in the limelight due to her bold decision and her straight forward approach in the game. At present only his name is featured in every breaking news related to the show.
In this celebrity crowd, probably no one knew Shreya Kalra before the show started. But the change this girl has made as soon as she entered the jail is praiseworthy. Shreya is strongly presenting her stand on every issue and is raising her voice openly. His screen time and his loud voice are clearly visible throughout the show. Just like Farhana Bhatt's strategy in Bigg Boss last year, the same cleverness and strength is visible in Shreya's game.
When Govinda's wife Sunita Ahuja entered the show, it became clear that she was not going to be overpowered by anyone. His unfiltered style is visible inside the jail. She speaks directly without any pretense. Being the wife of superstar Govinda, no one can ignore her even if they want to. She is playing the game by staying on the front foot and is currently the biggest and not to be ignored entertainer in the jail.
Harshad Chopra was a little calm in the first one or two days, but the U-turn he has taken in the last two-three days has surprised everyone. Harshad has now started taking his stand on every issue. Whether that stand is right or wrong is a matter for later, but now he is clearly seen speaking and fighting on camera. His changed form is making the game more fun.
Big screen star Dheeraj Dhoopar was also playing it safe in the beginning, but now his true form is coming out. Dheeraj may not be a very loud or screaming person, but he is always supporting the right. Some contestants are deliberately trying to trigger him, but Dheeraj is giving a befitting reply to them with full maturity. His game may improve even more in the coming weeks.
The makers and the audience were expecting huge drama from Sufi Motiwala, famous for her sharp and outspoken fashion reviews on Instagram and Reels. People thought that she would make everyone's ass in jail. It is true that he was targeted and wronged in jail, but the audience expected Sufi to fight bravely instead of crying like a wet cat or going on the backfoot. If he stood for the LGBTQ community, he should have given a befitting reply, in which he completely failed.
Fans were very excited about Madhuri Jain Grover, Ashneer Grover's wife and a well-known name in the business world. Everyone thought that like Ashneer, Madhuri would also show a sharp attitude. But from the time she came out of the AC rooms of the corporate and reached the dungeon of 'Lockup', till now she has not been able to show anything special. His game has not yet lived up to the expectations of the audience.
Riyaz Ali's charm on social media is not hidden from anyone. He has more than 26 million followers on Facebook alone and the count is different on other platforms. It was expected from Riyaz, who has such a strong fan following, that he would show his magic inside the jail and would completely dominate the game. But alas, his confidence inside the jail seems to be negligible. They are proving to be completely dull.
'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' fame Shivangi Joshi is a big name in TV. The audience and makers had the highest expectations from him. The spark that Farah Khan had lit inside Ram Kapoor while speaking against him on the first day of the show has now been completely extinguished. Shivangi is now preferring to remain completely silent instead of raising her voice on any issue. His silent mode is disappointing his fans.
Famous TV and film actor Ram Kapoor has a big status, but he also seems to be a little cold when it comes to sports. He does not shout much, which is a good thing, but in a place like lockup where one has to be active every moment, Ram Kapoor looks very lethargic. He is keeping himself away from tasks and controversies, due to which he has come in the line of 'fuss bombs' in this list.
This is the account of the first week of 'Lockup 2'. Now it will be interesting to see whether these 'fuss bombs' are able to create any explosion in the coming days, or the mutinous prisoners will rule the jail like this!
