City of Dreams S2’s title track gives us a glimpse of the murky game of politics set to be unleashed

Directed by Nagesh Kukunoor, City of Dreams is back for a second run, with the plot teasing more bloodshed, back-stabbing and double-crossing as father and daughter battle it out for the position of Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Now in a clever strategy to hype up the excitement among the audience ahead of its release, the makers have unveiled an engrossing title track showcasing the dark turn of events the upcoming season will reveal. The music, lyrics and background score in the video, clearly point towards the havoc that Gaikwad family will wreak, and its bloody aftermath.

Listen to the title track here:

Political dramas are in themselves a popular genre, but when combined with the flavour of family feud, the result has to be classic. While season one focused on the standoff between brother and sister for power, the second season hints that the emphasis will now shift to father Ameya Rao Gaikwad and daughter Poornima Gaikwad, as the two characters are not ready to budge, and will stoop to any level to win the election.

With Poornima deciding to carry on her struggle against the patriarchal system of politics to gain control over the state, she will be forced to lock horns with her father, who is hell-bent on destroying her to avenge his son’s death.

A stellar cast is heading the project, with Atul Kulkarni returning as Ameya and Priya Bapat as Poornima. Actors Eijaz Khan, Sachin Pilgaonkar and Sushant Singh will also be seen essaying pivotal roles. Produced by Applause Entertainment in association with Kukunoor Movies, the City of Dreams is scheduled to stream its second season on Disney+ Hotstar from July 30.
