The Broken News 2 on Zee5: Sonali Bendre reveals what fans can expect from season 2 of her web series
The Broken News 2, a blend of newsroom drama and personal vendetta, offering a nuanced exploration of journalistic ethics and personal redemption amidst a backdrop of power struggles and betrayals is back with season 2. Returning after two years, the series continues the battle between the ideologies of two rival news channels: 'Josh 24/7' and 'Awaaz Bharti'. Lead actors Sonali Bendre, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Shriya Pilgaonkar impress as Amina Qureshi, Dipankar Sanyal, and Radha Bhargava, respectively, each adding a new dimension to the story. The first season highlighted the contrasting approaches of national news channels towards the same story, revealing the fight for Prime Time TRP and capturing the nation's attention. It concluded with Radha Bhargava being imprisoned thanks to Dipankar Sanyal, who even called her a 'desh drohi' (traitor) on national television. Season 2 delves into the aftermath of Radha's incarceration and her subsequent determination to confront Dipankar's manipulative tactics head-on.

Radha's evolution from a victim of the system to a crusader for truth adds depth to the narrative, juxtaposed against Dipankar's relentless pursuit of TRPs and power. Their battle transcends the newsroom, becoming a personal vendetta for survival and dominance, blurring the lines between truth and agenda. Meanwhile, Amina no longer identifies with Radha's ideology and believes she is on a revenge mission, contrary to the nature of journalism. Will Amina and Radha work together, or will Amina shoulder the responsibility of fighting for the truth alone? Will Dipankar realize his mistakes and have a change of heart, or will he continue to struggle for TRPs?
Directed by Vinay Waikul and written by Sambit Mishra, this season explores the war of 'sach' (truth) versus 'sansani' (sensationalism) that explodes beyond the newsroom, morphing into a personal struggle for survival. The creators weave together headlines we've been seeing for a long time now, including the midday meal scam, Kadam's family suicide tragedy (loosely based on Burari deaths), cryptocurrency flow, power-hungry politicians, and their agendas.
Sonali Bendre, who is excited about the new season says that fans can look forward to unexpected twists in Season 2 as it promises a high-stakes battle between Ameena and Dipankar Sanyal. She is sure that the fans will have an edge-of-the-seat experience. The new web series has started streaming on Zee5 today (May 3) and Sonali is eagerly awaiting the audience's reaction to the new season and its intricate plot developments.
