Vadhandhi: The Mystery of Mani, the second season of the Tamil web series, released on Prime Video on August 7. The Sasikumar-starrer follows SI Moosa Raaza as he investigates a skeleton found during a highway inauguration near Madurai, a case that turns political and personal. NDTV's review calls it a somewhat engaging crime thriller, marred by a convoluted middle act. The series, directed by Andrew Louis, features Sasikumar, Vivek Prasanna, Yashwanth, Aparna Das and Anagha Maruthora.
