The Story

We see Guddu and Golu on the throne and Kaleen Bhaiya recovering from his gunshot wounds. Guddu’s task is to hold on to the throne without getting himself and Golu killed. Soon, Kaleen Bhaiya is back, and the game resumes.

Women For The Win

Both Beena Tripathi and Golu Pandit are phenomenal in doing so. Even Madhuri plays a significant role!

Power has gone to his head, making him do wild things. He needs Golu by his side to make rational decisions, and when she disappears…

The promised "bhaukal" comes in installments, leaving viewers wondering why the longer runtime if there is only limited content available.

Anticipation In Abundance

But what about the present? It feels like we are moving forward without any immediate redemption in sight.

Kaleen Bhaiya Returns

His return is impactful, and it will be exciting to see what he does now that he is back on the throne.
