Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I had watched the trailer of this series planned to watch this film on first day because loved the first season.
Multiple lives intersect after an assassination attempt on Mumbai’s most polarising political figure. A single stone thrown in a seemingly placid lake sets off a series of ripples that affect everyone and hurt many. City of Dreams is the story of the feud within the Gaikwad family, which erupts after an assassination attempt on a polarizing political figure. Blurring the lines between moral and immoral, in a struggle for power forms the core of this transfixing narrative.
Season 2 is bigger but not better than Season 1. From her never-ending work hours to dramatic dialogues. There are 10 Episodes ad few new characters are added but unnecessary dragged the drama. The editing needs little improvement too. My view on this web-series Recommended if you have watched the first season and loved it.
