The rivalry between competing news networks ‘Josh 24/7’ and ‘Awaaz Bharti’ continues. The first season showcased two opposing perspectives on the same issue, highlighting the battle for prime time TRP and captivating the nation’s attention.

Season 2 focuses on Radha’s post-incarceration desire to fight Dipankar’s manipulative tactics front on.
The creators combine real-world news stories, such as the midday meal swindle, Kadam’s family suicide tragedy (loosely modeled on the Burari deaths), cryptocurrency flow, and power-hungry politicians. The battle between’sach (truth)’ and’sansani (sensationalism)’ extends beyond the newsroom, keeping viewers engaged and captivated.
