BLUF

Nograj of One Big Party, and Krishna Gundu Bala aka Gundu aka KGB of Most Secular Party both desire to become chief minister. Nograj will let KGB win if he changes his name to Balu and buys three legislators. Between Danish and the phenomenal Prakash Belawadi, the characters are a riot

One Big Party and the Family Run Party decide on a post-poll alliance to keep Gundu out of power. Family Run Party’s mommy’s boy Karan Kapoor ( Varun Thakur) and his mother who speaks Italian feature often.

THE MEAT AND THE POTATOES

The 10 episodes deal with the horse-trading after a splintered support and the wish to hold on to control. Nograj then gets his way by somehow. 

IN THE KNOW

Co-writer-director Saad Khan and co-writer Danish set the series in the middle of murky Karnataka politics and frame all the situations according to real-life political incidents and satire their way to heaven.

Everything gets a shot at. Everything that has ever been a hashtag.

Politically correct or not, political satire is a tough genre and for now, we totally chuckled our way through the episodes with glee even at the below-the-belt innuendos.
