Episode 2: Dance of Dice
As one faction is revealed to have loaded the dice and cheated, the oligarch’s family is plunged into a fresh crisis fuelled by jealousy and lust, ending in humiliation and exile.
The Gods, the law, capitalism and politics jostle for power in this modern adaptation of the ancient Indian poem Mahabharata. Dramatised as a gripping family epic set in 21st century Mumbai, this series is powered by the tensions and rivalries of a turbulent business empire.
As one faction is revealed to have loaded the dice and cheated, the oligarch’s family is plunged into a fresh crisis fuelled by jealousy and lust, ending in humiliation and exile.
Dhruv makes a simple offer to Yash - double or quits. The entire business empire will be put on the table in a ‘winner takes all’ roll of the dice. But Dhruv is no longer content to just win, he wants to completely humiliate his opponent.
Now people are starting to question Dhruv’s fitness to run Hasta Enterprises. The different family factions pray to the Gods for guidance. The bankers, lawyers and accountants broker a more pragmatic solution - one final game must be played with a new set of perfect, neutral dice. The stakes couldn’t be simpler - Winner. Takes. All.
The stage is set for an epic conflict.
