Story: Season 2 begins as Kamala (Iman Vellani) finds a sense of confidence after she discovers her powers. She pushes the limits of her abilities while Bruno (Matt Lintz) tries to figure out how they work. He determines the bangle unlocked her superhuman abilities which could probably refer to her Inhuman background.
She even convinces her mother Muneeba (Zenobia Shroff) to let her go to a party of a friend. There, she gets to know her newfound crush Kamran (Rish Shah) as they bond over their love for Bollywood and SRK. Kamran even gives her his number and offers her driving lessons. Dissatisfied with the male-dominated leadership of their Mosque Board, Kamala’s friend Nakia Bahadir (Yasmeen Fletcher) decides to stand for elections.
Bruno becomes frustrated when Kamala infatuated with Kamran and chooses to spend time with him instead of training. After having a vision of a mysterious woman and blacking out during a family dinner, Kamala asks her grandmother Sana and Muneeba about Kamala’s great-grandmother Aisha, the original owner of the bangle, but both dismiss her. Kamala secretly calls up her grandmom to ask about the bangle. She learns that it belonged to her great-grandmother Aisha. Her mother isn’t too pleased that Kamala is digging into the past. That doesn’t stop Kamala, but all she finds are rumours, although they are pretty significant ones.
While trying to save a boy who falls off a window tt the annual Eid Al-Adha celebration, she gets distracted by a vision of a lady, and the boy ends up getting hurt when her powers flounder. As she escapes the scene, she’s chased by Department of Damage Control (DODC) agents who have been tracking her. Kamran shows up in his car to help her escape but also introduces Kamala to the lady from her visions, who turns out to be his mother, Najma (Nimra Bucha). Watch the 3rd episode on 22nd June 2022 on Disney Plus Hotstar.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I watched the trailer planned to watch the each episodes on its premiere date because of new superhero story and its connection to Captain Marvel next movie which will release in 2023.
A 16-year-old Pakistani-American high school student from Jersey City who is an aspiring artist and avid gamer, and writes superhero fan fiction about heroes such as Captain Marvel. Khan gains the ability to harness cosmic energy and create constructs from a magical bangle.
Based on its premise, the show is clearly aimed at a younger demographic, mirrored in the distinctive visual look that immediately separates it from most MCU fare. It has an upbeat tonality that will undoubtedly appeal to newer audiences who enjoy the fun aspects of the MCU but aren’t necessarily interested in its darker themes. The central narrative is built around a coming-of-age journey. Kamala is presented as an upbeat yet socially awkward kid stuck in the fantasy land of her imagination. The show’s charm comes from its offbeat visuals and the cast, who are all engaging in their respective roles while bringing a fun energy to the screen.
Now that the show’s tone has been established, we see it shine in a bigger way in this episode. While there’s ground to cover before Ms Marvel becomes a more important character in the MCU with bigger stakes, keeping her grounded with real-world current problems without being too preachy and overbearing, puts her on the right track. While there are discrepancies in how Ms Marvel discovers her powers in this series compared to her comic book origins, we’ll need to wait to see how they play out over the upcoming episodes. My view on this series Recommended
