The twisted tale of ‘Breathe’ is back again. This time around, the protagonist Abhishek Bachchan turns an antagonist to save his daughter. The ‘mask’ has played a very important role in the web show this time around, since the real antagonist hides behind the mask, and so does Abhishek, when he digs in deeper in hopes of rescuing his child.
Nithya Menon, who plays Abhishek’s wife and mother to the missing daughter, brings out some real emotions, while some times it looks dramatized. One scene I couldn’t believe was when Abhishek asks ‘do you see me as a father or as a murderer?’, and she goes on to answer with, “a man who was trying to save his family.” Really? That’s the best the writers could do?
Anyhow, the story becomes gripping as soon as Television actress Shruti Bapna enters the scene. The makers constantly hint that the antagonist had lust for her, but ends up getting her killed. Abhishek Bachchan is also heard connecting the dots between anger and lust when it comes to murdering Bapna’s character. Another twist that comes in the trailer is, Bapna’s attraction to Nithya’s lips, hinting that she might be homosexual, thus rejecting the antagonist.
In the middle of the scene, enters Amit Sadh, but with Abhishek taking over the police force too, he is left out as a mere pawn in the big game. Or will he be the king in the real game?
