Get ready to soak in the romance a second time as we list down 5 amazing reasons why you should watch ALTBalaji and ZEE5’s Baarish Season 2

They say good things happen to those who wait. There has been much anticipation about the recent launch of the upcoming season of ALTBalaji and ZEE5’s romantic drama Baarish. Viewers are now all set to immerse themselves in one of the most-loved shows on both the streaming platforms. Having won hearts in the first season, audiences are all set to welcome the likes of Sharman Joshi, Asha Negi, Priya Banerjee, Manit Joura, Sahil Shroff, Anuj Singh Duhan, Abhishek Verma, and Vikram Singh Chauhan once again. While it may seem like a mainstream love story between man and woman, one will get to see the roller coaster of emotions in the not-so-simple life of Anuj (Sharman Joshi) and Gauravi (Asha Negi). Here are 5 reasons why you must binge-watch the second season of Baarish

More drama as compared to the first season – ALTBalaji and ZEE5 have left absolutely no stone unturned in making the second season bigger and better in every aspect. High on production, the show is equally high on drama. Apart from romance, viewers can certainly expect things to go sour between their favourite couple as differences start to creep in. And if that wasn’t enough, the presence of a third person in any relationship just adds to the complications. While it does seem like there might be light at the end of the tunnel, it’s going to be easier said than done for Anuj and Gauravi to reconcile.

A mesmerizing soundtrack – You can’t have a romantic show on ALTBalaji without any music. Having made a name for themselves in the OTT space for introducing original tracks in its shows, Baarish too has memorable songs in the form of its title track and Preet. While the former is the perfect monsoon mushy track, the latter with its meaningful lyrics shows you that sometimes a relationship is all about the maturity in it. On many occasions, it’s the music that takes a story forward and audiences can be rest assured that they’ll be on a melodic journey while they watch the second season of Baarish. 

The chemistry between the lead pair – They say some matches are made in heaven. The same holds true when we see Anuj and Gauravi on screen. Be it moments of love or an argument, there’s never a dull moment between them. Watching them go through their ups and downs after more than a year is certainly going to feel like a breath of fresh air. While we see them go through moments where it seems that they may never reconcile, as hopeless romantics, we are certainly rooting for them to get back together and live happily ever after.

Set in the romantic backdrop of the rains – Is there a better season for romance than the monsoons? We think not. Get set to fall in love with Anuj and Gauravi all over again, while they get drenched and enjoy their piping hot tea with vada pav and extra chilies. Releasing just ahead of the monsoon, here’s a couple that’ll certainly make you want to spend time with your loved one and lets you feel the magic of monsoon in this scorching heat. 

A star-studded cast – Along with Sharman Joshi and Asha Negi who hold your attention with every scene, it’s the rest of the cast in the form of Priya Banerjee, Manit Joura, Sahil Shroff, Anuj Singh Duhan, Abhishek Verma, Vikram Singh Chauhan, Shubhangi Latkar who are perfect in their supporting roles as well. And if that wasn’t enough to get you all excited, the second season features the veteran and evergreen actor Jeetendra Kapoor making his digital debut. We can say with absolute certainty that it’s a cameo that will leave a lasting impression on your minds.

Parenting lessons by Akash from ALTBalaji and ZEE5’s Mentalhood to all the dads out there

Every mother’s dream and dad’s envy, the super-dad can raise the temperature of the kitchen and not only because of the delicious three-course meal that he can whip up with ease. He can swing the bat with as much suave steady as he can braid his daughter’s hair. He can responsibly take care of the entire house whilst also maintaining calm and order in the home. Wondering, where is this incredible all-rounder super-dad hiding? Well, all you have to do is tune-into ALTBalaji and ZEE5’s latest offering, Mentalhood. All hail Dino Morea’s powerful portrayal of Akash Fernandes, a single parent and a stay at home dad. Redefining the role of a single parent, he shows the right kind of parenting. We have listed 5 great qualities that make Akash, a perfect dad:

1. Protective but not over: There is a fine line between being protective and going overboard with the same and Akash aces in clearly defining that line. Being a single parent and the only shield to his kids, Akash knows that he might have to go the extra mile to protect his kids, without overwhelming them with unnecessary worries. Handling both the roles of a mother and a father, he goes beyond to shield his kids while also allowing them to make their own mistakes.

2. Not the angry-quiet dad: Adapting to the changing times, Akash changes the age-old narrative of being a typical Indian father. He is in touch with his emotions and doesn’t shy from talking about his personal feelings with the kids. He understands both his kids and their aspirations and doesn’t let societal biases come in their way to fulfill them. His daughter can play football and his son can do ballet if they want to and he will not decide the future of his kids but they themselves will.  

3. A keeper of promises: No matter what it takes if Akash promises his kids something, he will stick to his promise. Even the promise of being truthful to his kids and answering complicated questions that raise a question on his single parenting.

4. Handles kids with so much ease: We have been watching scenes where kids find solace in mother’s lap, moms bathing their kids and getting them ready for school. Our society has tagged these duties as a ‘mother’s job’. Seeing Akash perform all these ‘motherly duties’ (as society sees it) with such perfection and smoothness is definitely a breath of fresh air.

5. Every mom’s favourite: Every mom wishes he was on their team and every dad is jealous of his ability to juggle. His sexy smart suave style just adds to his appeal. He handles his kids with so much ease and can give lessons on parenthood to all the moms and dads. From going to Yoga classes with moms to always being available in times of need, he is the go-to person for anything and everything. 

ALTBalaji and ZEE5’s Mentalhood is the show that salutes the unacknowledged efforts of mothers and showcases a single dad Akash, in a new and fresh light. A dad every kid would want to have!

After seeing the teaser and trailer of

ALTBalaji and ZEE5’s upcoming show Mentalhood, one can’t wait to see what lies in store in the rollercoaster life of these six supermoms. Adding to the excitement and frenzy ahead of the show’s launch on March 11, the two platforms have launched the title track today that makes for the perfect anthem for all mothers.

Sung by Pearl Raphael and Sanchari Bose, the song highlights the multiple roles that a mother has to play in addition to being a doting parent. After all, being a wife, sister, friend and mother all at the same time is no easy feat. Add to that, they have to tailor their schedules according to their kid’s time table and constantly juggle between striking the right balance between their personal and professional lives. While they struggle to make ends meet, these mothers will never let anything come between themselves and their children. Safe to say, here is a title track that hits on the right note as far as telling viewers how raising kids is no less than a war in itself.

Starring Karisma Kapoor, Shilpa Shukla, Shruti Seth, Sandhya Mridul, Tillotama Shome, Dino Morea and Sanjay Suri, Mentalhood is the emotional journey of being a parent. All set to release this March 11, we can’t wait to see how these supermoms manage to raise their children in their unique ways which makes them no less than being a Superhero!
