Na Aana Is Des Laado was popular as the show dealt with socially relevant issues like female infanticide and misogyny in a unique way. Laado 2, which premiered on November 7, pretty much lives up to the first edition as it is engaging and well-paced.
Balwant Chaudhary continues the trade of women in Veerpur, which still remains a male-dominated society. Since the women are exploited in the village, parents of the girl child are left with no option but to accept their fate. The scene shifts to another city, where Ammaji (Meghna Malik) shares a great equation with her granddaughters, Anushka (Avika Gor) and Jhanvi (Palak Jain).
Both Anushka and Jhanvi love each other, yet their personalities are in stark contrast. A law student, Anushka is fiesty and saves a girl from getting killed, on the other hand, Jhanvi is scared of even a fly at home. The former is outgoing and the latter is homely. The twist in the plot is hinted when Anushka decides to go to Veerpur during one of her college trips. For the same, she decides to take Jhanvi along. The two have been made to believe it is a beautiful village by their aunt.
The show is intriguing and the scenes shift swiftly from Veerpur to where Ammaji currently resides. Dark moments of sexual abuse are interspersed with the funny banter between Ammaji and her granddaughters. Laado 2 deals with women fighting for their right, which is relevant and empowering.
The folk element adds to the effect of the life in village. The elaborate costumes and 'hawelis' take you back in time when Ammaji herself was a resident of Veerpur. While Ammaji might have moved to a city, she lives in a conservative house. It is interesting to see her granddaughters as two girls different from each other, who are protected from the evils of Ammaji's hometown. The show doesn't give you a moment to yawn and is well-paced.
The character of Ammaji has undergone a drastic change. From a perpetrator of violence, Ammaji is now a protector. Just like the first season, Meghna owns the character and is a delight to watch. Balika Vadhu's Avika Gor is a powerhouse of talent and enacts her part with ease. Even Palak Jain is natural on screen and doesn't disappoint. The dialect of city life is well justified by the girls, and the dialogues of the locals in the village are authentic.
Going by the premiere episode, Laado 2 holds promise and is a break from all the conventional soaps on the small screen.
