India, June 15 -- Rana Naidu is the number one fixer for the who's who - on the speed dial of every famous celebrity. If he's based on someone real, chances are 99% of us would never know, because people like him remain in the shadows, doing the dirty work of the rich and powerful. It's a great concept on paper. Replete with masala, the second season sees the return of Rana Daggubati as the titular Rana; only the stakes now involve his family. Does he escape unscathed, or is his life forever turned upside down? Directed by Suparn S Varma, Karan Anshuman, and Abhay Chopra, the show feels too predictable to be truly enjoyable. You can see the twists from a mile away. Rana's about to get into trouble? Conveniently, a cop tips him off. A character threatens to leak an incriminating video? Nana (Venkatesh) just kills him. While such storytelling has long been a staple of masala films, one expects an OTT series with ample time to feel fresh. Rana Naidu Season 2, however, tries to make up for its complex story by dumbing everything down. Rana Daggubati is tall, suave and handsome, of course, but his aggression never quite spills over. Venkatesh, on the other hand, seems to be having a ball, spouting Hyderabadi lingo and kicking serious ass. Surveen Chawla does well as Rana's wife, caught between a distant husband and the allure of greener pastures. Arjun Rampal, as gangster Rauf, gets to chew on a full-fledged negative role and is good at it, while Kriti Kharbanda plays an overlooked yet ambitious rich kid with conviction. Overall, the show delivers on style, star power and drama but falls short when it comes to depth....
