After the Orion Chemical factory incident, Srikant Tiwari (Manoj Bajpayee) quits TASC over due to failures and injuries of his team mates Milind (Sunny Hinduja) and Zoya (Shreya Dhanwanthary). He joins a new IT company called Cache Me which is run by an overzealous and overachiever 28-year-old guy Tanmay Ghosh (Kaustubh Kumar).
Srikant’s wife Suchitra aka Suchi (Priyamani) quits Shrink Me after the Lonavala episode with Arvind (Sharad Kelkar). She’s now a homemaker and is terribly bored. She starts going for therapy with professor (Late Asif Basra) so that she can revive her marriage with Srikant. His daughter Dhriti (Ashlesha Thakur) becomes even more rebellious and is now seeing a guy named Kalyan (Abhay Verma). Their son Atharv (Vedant Sinha) on the other hand is learning to play trumpet and is terrible at it.
Meanwhile, The prime minister of Sri Lanka Rupatunga (Abhishek Shankar) calls the prime minister of India Basu (Seema Biswas) and requests her to hand over Subramaniam Palanivel aka Subbu (Srikrishna Dayal) who along with others is a part of the Tamil government in exile. He’s wanted in Sri Lanka and is currently in Chennai. Basu makes it clear that he’s not a criminal on Indian soil and hence, she can’t hand him over. She later relents when Rupatunga agrees to allow Indian government to build a military base in Northern Sri Lanka. Basu realizes that this can help India keep China off the Indian Ocean. She tells the members of the TASC to arrest Subbu and get him to Mumbai.
Srikant’s colleague and best friend JK Talpade (Sharib Hashmi) leaves for Chennai. Subbu however kills some TASC agents who had gone to nab him and takes a couple as hostages. JK informs Srikant about it. Srikant gives valuable advice at this point that helps TASC arrest Subbu. Meanwhile, the ISI decides to play spoilsport here. They carry out a blast at a Chennai court when Subbu was present there. Subbu dies on the spot. This enrages his brother Bhaskaran (Mime Gopi) the prime minister of Tamil government in exile operating from London. Bhaskaran quits the government and hands over the reins to Deepan (N Alagamperumal) a peace loving person who prefers dialogue over violence.
Bhaskaran is in no mood for peace. Basu announces that she’ll hold bi-lateral peace talks with Rupatunga in Chennai. Bhaskaran senses that this is a great opportunity to eliminate both the ministers as both of them have been against their cause. Major Sameer (Darshan Kumaar) is still hurt over the failure of Mission Zulfiqar extends help to Bhaskaran to carry out his mission. Bhaskaran tells his team, lying dormant for years, to prepare. These include Selvarasan (Anandsami) and Raji (Samantha Akkineni). Both were a part of the Tamil rebel group but after the movement disintegrated, they have been living in Chennai without any suspicion.
Both are asked to quit their jobs and start work. All is going well until Nanda (Prakash Rajan) who owns a factory where Raji works, realizes that Raji is from Jaffna in Northern Sri Lanka and that she has given a fake address. In the incident Raji kills her and Police is after her. Meanwhile Srikant join the the TASC again and moves to Chennai with this team to stop Raji and her team.

Durgesh Tiwary’s View : When I watched the trailer planned to watch this series because of it’s story and engaging trailer and it rarely happens that series is better from its trailer.
Raj & DK and Suman Kumar’s story is terrific. It is rare or maybe it is the first time that this topic has been taken up for a non-regional project. The way they have handled his story is commendable. They have peppered the script with sequences that not just thrill but also has light moments. However, the first 4 episodes could have been tighter, faster and more exciting. There are so many tracks and characters in this series and there’s a lot happening. This time, thanks to the Tamil Nadu setting, several scenes have only Tamil dialogues. Yet, the series never gets confusing or heavy
The last 4 episodes are when the series goes on another level. The tension is built up very well and will keep viewers on the edge of the seats. The finale, thankfully, is the best part of the enterprise and the series ends on a great note with the promise of an equally exciting Season. It is not just an expertly mounted espionage action bonanza with powerful performance which bursts with unexpected wit and probes the morality to an extent. My view on this web-series Highly Recommended !!
