Reception Criticism
Koimoi Review:
The show perfectly reflects the difficulty that UPSC applicants endure. While Naveen Kasturia’s portrayal of Abhilash is admirable, the series touches on real-world issues that occasionally cause the plot to falter. The series does a wonderful job of emphasizing the emotional and mental toll that the preparation takes on candidates.
Review of Indian Express:
The series romanticizes the arduous preparatory procedure. While it emphasizes the immense anxiety felt by millions of students, it occasionally fails to address the fundamental questions. Why do so many young people pursue this dream? Is it a result of society pressure, personal ambition, or a combination of the two? The show also addresses the concept of “accidental administrators,” who may not be skilled at their professions despite passing the exams.
Conclusion
“Aspirants Season 2” combines drama, emotion, and truth to provide audiences an inside glimpse at the world of UPSC preparation. While it has some brilliant moments, it also raises questions about the educational system, societal expectations, and the true meaning of success.
