While the details are being kept under wraps, fans won’t have to wait long to find out what’s in store. This transformation reflects his commitment to evolving as an artist and adapting to the needs of his roles.” Yearender 2024: Bollywood Actors Who Revived Iconic Onscreen Characters This Year Bhuvan’s ability to reinvent himself has always kept audiences hooked, and his latest experiment is no different.

Who's that? Bhuvan Bam looks refreshing in a clean-shaven look; sparks speculations about new project

<p>In <em>Taaza Khabar Season 2</em>, there’s little that’s <em>taaza</em> (fresh). There’s ambition, but not enough drive. There are those next big things, but not the smoothest ways forward. A show, often oscillating between past, present and future, lacks the<em> ‘vardaan’</em>&nbsp;(blessing) of staying afloat - something that,&nbsp;both the series and Bhuvan Bam’s character Vasant Gawde desperately need.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Those who’ve watched the first season will understand when we say - far bizarre things happen to Gawde in the follow-up. In the first season, a sanitation worker stumbles upon his magical powers of getting updates about future events and his life changes overnight. But everything that rises must eventually have a downfall. The new season takes off from where the last one ended - only this time, the ‘<em>taaza khabar</em>’ is that of Vasya dying. Will he rise from the dead? Or can he possibly avert his death?&nbsp;</p>

<p>Well, turns out, he might be able to avoid his death, but not the challenges that await him. With help from his parents, played by Atisha Naik and Vijay Nikam, friend Peter (Prathmesh Parab), Mehboob (Deven Bhojani), and love interest Madhu (Shriya Pilgaonkar), Vasya tackles one <em>‘taaza khabar’</em> and obstacle after another. However, there’s a new entrant in the show - Yusuf (Jaaved Jaaferi), who in his own words, does politics in the name of charity. He wants Vasya to compensate for his betting losses and will go to any extent to extract that money. He is the new villain of the show, and Vasya's fate is at his mercy.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Bhuvan Bam, who reprises his role as Vasant, stays true to his character. But what falters is having a stale approach to the story that leaves little for actors, including Jaaferi, to chew on. It’s the same old cycle of a flashing new update, a new plan, and no consequence.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After a point, it all feels stretched as Vasya tries to undo the chaos, particularly with erratic new ideas of minting money. He is also trying to mend his relationships with his parents and girlfriend, who, like every other character on the show, are now part of the cat-and-mouse narrative. It's almost a disservice to others that they are in constant service of just one character. The placement of flashbacks is particularly disappointing, with them adding little value. As a man who can see the future and is struggling in his present - there was a lot that could've been explored, but alas.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the Himank Gaur directorial, the dialogues written by Abbas Dalal and Hussain Dalal add a slight edge. There's often a chance of songs feeling misfits in shows such as this, but 'Rang Hai Ri' and 'Kaun Hai' are woven into the narrative with precision and stay with you long after the series. But those might be the only few things that feel fresh.&nbsp;</p>

The 7-episode series promises an engaging, quirky, and fun experience navigating through the everyday problems of a married couple. On the show, Bhuvan Bam said, “I have grown up in a middle-class family and the way marriage is perceived has changed drastically over the years, certainly because of many factors, known and unknown. While there is enough content available that narrates a romantic drama, we have tried to capture the nitty-gritty of a modern marriage in Rafta Rafta, with an unexpected twist! We are super delighted that Amazon miniTV is our streaming partner, as our content will be accessible to viewers pan-India for free”. Watch the teaser here: “When I found out that I’ll be working alongside Bhuvan in the show, I was immediately convinced. I’ve always rooted for him as a content creator and now, as an actor. A close second reason that convinced me instantly was the quirky narrative that brings a fresh perspective of a married couple on screen. I am sure that the audience will enjoy watching Rafta Rafta, abhi toh bas teaser out hai, series abhi baki hai mere doston!”, said Srishti Ganguli Rindani. Rafta Rafta is a romedy with a twist.

These are the people I grew up watching on screen and now sharing screen space is like a dream come true. Just being around them is also a huge learning experience for me, not just as an actor but also as a person.”&nbsp;</p>

Youtuber Bhuvan Bam's hit series 'Dhindora' set to return with a second season

<p>Those of you who follow Bhuvan Bam’s sketches on YouTube—turns out, a lot of you do—would know this man has an innate talent for cooking up dangerously awkward situations with extremely hilarious characters. All played by the man himself. In ‘Dhindora’, he takes it notches higher and his alter egos from ‘BB Ki Vines’ (the YouTube channel that made him the digital star he is today) get to live and breathe in the real world... or not!</p>

<p>‘Dhindora’ stays true to Bam’s signature style—subtle satirical motifs—with a certain middle-class Papa <em>ji</em> at the heart of a humungous conflict: he has won a lottery but doesn’t seem to remember the details. It doesn’t help tad bit that Mummy <em>ji </em>is a loudmouth looking for charity projects to nurture.&nbsp;</p>

<p>No skit of Bhuvan Bam’s is complete without his expletive-mouthing band of brothers. Here, we have a nymphomaniac and a catch-phrase stealer to keep those outrageous one-liners coming: If those two do not crack you up, we don’t know who&nbsp;would.</p>

<p>Sitting here, writing this review, reminds us of what Bam had said during <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-wion-exclusive-bhuvan-bam-%E2%80%98dhindora%E2%80%99-could-have-been-on-any-ott-platform-but-thats-unfair-to-my-viewers-424368">his recent interview with us</a>— “…what this series really stands for is the importance of family, the importance of relationships.” In spirit, when one moves beyond the stereotypical Delhi aesthetics and young-lad profanities this eight-part series otherwise rides on, one would see what lessons Bam is actually trying to impart—life is too short to take a beloved for granted. In all fairness, life indeed is man’s greatest teacher and Bam knows that all too well.</p>

<p><br />
Clocking close to half an hour per episode, ‘Dhindora’ follows the traditional technique of storytelling—nothing wrong with that, of course—of leaving the viewers with a mystery to come back for in its weekly-episodic-release format. So far, it has worked tremendously well.&nbsp;</p>

To sum it up, ‘Dhindora’ is heartbreakingly funny, surprisingly deep—the creator is all of 27, conceptualised when he was around 25; go figure—and a wonderfully crafted satire. It is the visual version of what Kabir once said, “<em>Kya leke aayo jagme, kya leke jayega</em>.”</p>

Dhindora review: One Bhuvan Bam, 10 versions of him... all hilarious!

<p>He is, in the true sense of the word, a self-made superstar. What started purely by&nbsp;fluke ended up being a mammoth digital revolution in India:&nbsp;Bhuvan Bam's much loved 'BB Ki Vines'. No, he doesn't want to wait for a comedy special to land on his lap or an OTT executive to take notice of his talent. "We can't wait for any platform to give us an opportunity to create something, we can do it on our own," Bhuvan&nbsp;tells WION in an exclusive interview from his Mumbai den.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now off to a stupendous start--Bhuvan Bam is the first Indian digital content creator to launch his independent web series, 'Dhindora'--the young content-creating&nbsp;star shares how he has worked 16 hours a day to get each of his 10 characters right, why he would have never taken his firstborn (series) to an OTT platform, and explains that although life has been tough the last few months, yet, he firmly believes in the saying that the show must go on: for the people involved with&nbsp;his work, and for his own sake.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Edited and condensed excerpts from our conversation with the digital star:&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>WION: First of all, congrats on ‘Dhindora’. I have watched the first four episodes and it is hilarious. So, you are the first content creator to come up with his own web series where you are the heart and soul of it. Tell us what prompted you to take up this project? What was the thought behind this? Tell us everything about ‘Dhindora’.</strong></p>

<p><br />
<strong>BB:</strong> It came from a thought that what if I take these characters out of the room (referring to his YouTube skit, ‘BB Ki Vines’) that I've been shooting for the past five years. What if I show people that now they can see those characters from head-to-toe, and you can see them move, see their legs and you can see them like you see actors in any other movie or a series. So, that's where ‘Dhindora’ idea popped in. There was a story we had in mind and then we started writing it. ‘Dhindora’ was a movie earlier. But then we decided to make it episodic because that's what OTT platforms are doing right now. Eventually, we decided to keep it on YouTube for people to watch. And, that’s the back story of ‘Dhindora’ in a nutshell <em>(chuckles!)</em></p>

<p><img alt="Bhuvan Bam plays 10 roles in 'Dhindora'" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="9fc71265-e0e2-4711-928b-293a49d83fa1" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/2%20dhindora.jpg" /><br />
<strong>WION: So you mentioned OTT platforms, and that’s my follow up question. You have no backing from say a Netflix or an Amazon Prime and you are all on your own. How easy or difficult was it for you to create ‘Dhindora’ all by yourself? What are the challenges you&nbsp;faced along the way? Or, how do you think you are at an advantage by doing this on your own without the backing of any OTT giant?</strong></p>

<p><br />
<strong>BB:</strong> I mean, really, we knew that we had to do this on YouTube. We could have have taken this to any other OTT platform. But, it would have been really unfair to the people who watch my content because this is the first series that we are doing on ‘YouTube’, which involves my universe. So, it would have been, frankly, very unfair to the people you made it for, people who have been watching you for five years on YouTube for free. And then suddenly, you take this big step of taking those characters out from YouTube to some other OTT platform: that would have been pretty unfair for them. So it was a conscious decision to keep the show on YouTube—and for free. We can't wait for any other platform to give us an opportunity to create something, we can do it on our own. And we can do it on YouTube. That was the main idea behind it.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>WION: From what I understand—based on what I have watched so far—‘Dhindora’ is essentially a satire, a commentary on society, right? Please talk about the underlying themes that you have tried to project in the series, through humour, of course.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><br />
<strong>BB: </strong>The theme is, see there's a story that is going on throughout the show. But, apart from that, what this series really stands for is the importance of family, the importance of relationships, and how, when we are 18-19—when we are too young—how we take these relationships for granted. It also is a reflection on how the society’s treatment of you can change with time.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>WION: I know you have been asked this a lot&nbsp;in the past, but, I still wanted to know now that your skit has taken the form of&nbsp;a full-blown series. How do you manage to&nbsp;get into one character, snap out of it and then take on a completely new role? How do you play so many people all at once?</strong></p>

<p><br />
<strong>BB:</strong> I mean, practically, back to practice (of juggling roles). I've been doing this for five years now. So, I know how to switch between different personalities. But now that we were shooting full length characters—we were showing them move around—we were technically shooting a movie. So I think (there was discomfort) in the initial few days. Gradually, I got a hold of it because they were people who were working on the costume aspect of it, and so on and so forth. The idea was that no characters should look similar to one another. And that's what we tried to do the entire show. See acting is something that I knew I could pull off. But how do we make them look different? How do we make them look convincing? And you keep showing them without losing their originality. How do we make them look different from each other? And that's where I will give to the entire credit to the make-up and costume team. As far as switching between characters is concerned? I don't know. It wasn't tough. But, yes, I was stuck in a loop. Because we had shot for 41 days straight and every day, we used to shoot for 16 hours without fail because&nbsp;I was the only actor on set <em>(laughs!)</em> So in these 41 days, I may have slept two hours or an hour-and-a-half a day. I think we just wanted to do this without thinking of (the end product).</p>

<p><img alt="jxnlkdmb lghnfdsxzxbn" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d1f5cd4c-81cd-4466-8a69-91eb7909a420" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/1%20dhindora.jpg" /><br />
<strong>WION: Is ‘Dhindora’ going to be a proper series with maybe a season 2, 3 and 4. What’s the future?</strong></p>

<p><br />
<strong>BB: </strong>Frankly, I don't know what the future is. But, I internally know that there has to be something that should follow up with this (the series). We are working on it. But right now, the main aim is to concentrate on the first season and the upcoming episodes. But, yeah, it is definitely on our mind.</p>

<p><br />
<strong>WION: The past few months have been extremely difficult for all of us, especially you. I wanted to know from you since you have done so much work—like you mentioned, clocking 16 hours a day, two hours of sleep for 41 days straight. And your personal life had hit all-time low, too. Where do you&nbsp;derive the strength from to keep going, to keep at it: your energy in the face of adversity is truly remarkable.</strong></p>

<p><br />
<strong>BB: </strong>I mean, see the things that affect you personally, you can't let them interfere with your professional life. There are days when you don't feel like working, there are days when you just feel like sleeping. But then, you realize that, ‘okay, there are other people who are attached to the project’. And you can't you can't just stop and lock yourself up (in a room). <em>Aap ke </em>personal life<em> main jo bhi chal rahaan ho, woh&nbsp;aapka </em>problem<em> hai...&nbsp;</em>It's your problem at the end of the day. So keeping professionalism in mind, you need to work for the people who are related to the project, and I'm working alone on this. There are so many people who are earning through this or there are people who will eventually earn money from it. You can't let these things come in the way of your career.</p>

<p><img alt="Bhuvan Bam has found solace in 'Dhindora'" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f430078b-47e5-456a-83ac-4e3632a43d4b" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/3%20dhindora.jpg" /><br />
<strong>WION: Considering you toiled so hard for&nbsp;this project, was there a sense of solace for you from everything that's been happening in your life: maybe while filming it or by just being on set? Was it some kind of 'comfort zone'?&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p><br />
<strong>BB:</strong> It was (my) comfort zone because I knew what I had to shoot. But, in terms of production, it was a new experience—including me—and for everyone else. Because we haven't shot something like this and probably not many people have done this: to play 10 characters! I was the only actor and it was a learning experience for everyone. And till the 30th day of the shoot, people on the set and our entirecrew was clueless as to what we were shooting. And then when the trailer arrived, everyone realized, ‘Oh, this is what we were shooting’. It was a very tedious shoot. If you think there was only one actor, so I had to act for the character and then I had to go and change for the other actors, which was very tedious and I'm glad (I did that).</p>

<p><br />
<strong>WION: A lot of digital content creators are going The Netflix-Amazon Prime or Bollywood way. Are you toying with the idea or is something already in the pipeline? What are your thoughts on mainstream acting gigs?</strong></p>

<p><br />
<strong>BB:</strong> I think there’s an idea we have, but it's a far-fetched idea and it will eventually happen. But for now, we need to concentrate on the things that we have and let's finish what we have right now. And then we'll think of something that involves Bollywood or some other OTT platforms.</p>

There are days when you don't feel like working, there are days when you just feel like sleeping. But then, you realize that, ‘okay, there are other people who are attached to the project’. And you can't you can't just stop and lock yourself up (in a room). Aap ke personal life main jo bhi chal rahaan ho, woh aapka problem hai... It's your problem at the end of the day. So keeping professionalism in mind, you need to work for the people who are related to the project, and I'm working alone on this. There are so many people who are earning through this or there are people who will eventually earn money from it. You can't let these things come in the way of your career. WION: Considering you toiled so hard for this project, was there a sense of solace for you from everything that's been happening in your life: maybe while filming it or by just being on set? Was it some kind of 'comfort zone'? BB: It was (my) comfort zone because I knew what I had to shoot. But, in terms of production, it was a new experience—including me—and for everyone else. Because we haven't shot something like this and probably not many people have done this: to play 10 characters! I was the only actor and it was a learning experience for everyone. And till the 30th day of the shoot, people on the set and our entirecrew was clueless as to what we were shooting. And then when the trailer arrived, everyone realized, ‘Oh, this is what we were shooting’. It was a very tedious shoot. If you think there was only one actor, so I had to act for the character and then I had to go and change for the other actors, which was very tedious and I'm glad (I did that). WION: A lot of digital content creators are going The Netflix-Amazon Prime or Bollywood way. Are you toying with the idea or is something already in the pipeline? What are your thoughts on mainstream acting gigs? BB: I think there’s an idea we have, but it's a far-fetched idea and it will eventually happen. But for now, we need to concentrate on the things that we have and let's finish what we have right now. And then we'll think of something that involves Bollywood or some other OTT platforms.
