·      Lead role Amar Pal Singh is played by Jimmy Shergil who is known for playing many off beat roles and one has to praise for his efforts for sinking in the character so well, be it the mannerism or the slang he has done everything perfectly.

·      This season also starts with a cue of flashback that takes us to the time where Amar Pal Singh wins the college elections. Later how step by step he falls in the cracks of the politics and turns out to be huge name in the criminal land.

·      The story is about a man falling in to the criminal pit deeper each time he tries to raise from it and at last when he tries to settle the things the situation is not in his favour and he and his family suffers.
