Abhishek Bachchan is the whole and soul of Amazon Prime series, Breathe: Into The Shadows, which is perhaps why we have 12 long episodes, 50 minutes each, in which he smoulders a whole lot, in different ways: angry smoulder, creepy smoulder, charming smoulder, fatherly smoulder. And all of this smouldering comes in handy, because as we get deeper into the show,
the deeper we are getting into Abhishek Bachchan's character. It's all a dramatic labyrinth with Abhishek Bachchan's omnipresent voiceover following you around, telling you a story you want to stop listening to, but just can't, for some bizarre reason.
Speaking of bizarre, Breathe: Into the Shadows has nothing in common with the first season; it's merely a thematic sequel that tries to answer the same question that the first series, starring Madhavan and Amit Sadh among others, also posed: how far will a father go to save his child?
Avinash Sabharwal (Abhishek Bachchan), a well-to-do psychiatrist living in Gurgaon, and his wife Abha (Nithya Menen), who is a chef, find themselves embroiled in a nightmare, as their 6-year-old daughter is kidnapped. The kidnapper approaches the couple a whole nine months later and asks them to carry out a series of murders on his behalf, in order to save their child.
The murders seem to have some sort of thematic connection to the mythology of Ravana and the 10 negative emotions that complete him: anger or krodha, lust or hawas, ego or ahankara, fear or bhay, and so on.
