I must admit I watched Ghum 1 only after the entry of Aria as Lil Savi. What I saw of her parents was such a put off I did not feel anything for them. I loved Lil Savis antics in Kankauvli, her bond with different characters and the way they had crafted her role and the way she delivered it.
Since ghum 2 is the story of Savi I like the way she is fighting every battle of hers and standing up for what is right.
I did find the enactment a bit weird . A professor stepping in for a student is not done.....but I guess an original theme for a competition is better than gyrating to a movie number. It portrays the struggle Sayi went through to fulfil her Aabaa's we dream. The struggle her daughter will face to reach her goal is what they are trying to establish.
The peace Lily seems to be answering Savis prayer. Ishaan has not only calmed down the scowl is making way for other expressions and Shakthi is bringing it out well.
They are not a couple yet. Comparing them to the season 1 leads seems unfair. Neil could not bring out nuanced expressions. The ensemble cast of season 2 seems good.
