Aksar 2 Timeline Explained: Your Questions Answered

When does it happen, and why in that order? The questions people ask about the chronology of Aksar 2 (2017): time jumps, flashbacks, cause and effect between scenes and the correct order of events, each answered with spoilers.

Q1

Why did Sheena tell Patrick about the will naming him as beneficiary?

Sheena strategically revealed the will to manipulate Patrick. By showing him that Dolly had already named him beneficiary of the London bungalow, she created a false sense of security in Patrick. This made him believe he was safe and didn't need to scheme against Dolly, which allowed Sheena and her conspirators to proceed with their own plan to control the estate while keeping Patrick distracted and compliant.

  • sheena
  • patrick
  • will
  • beneficiary
  • london bungalow
  • manipulation
Q2

Who killed Ricky and Bachchan in the accidents?

The film implies that these deaths were orchestrated as part of the conspiracy to clear the way for the estate takeover. Ricky was an obstacle because of his legal battle over property, and Bachchan was a loose end who knew too much about the forgery scheme. While the exact perpetrator isn't explicitly shown, the rapid succession of convenient "accidents" removing key figures points to Sheena and Gaurav eliminating competition and witnesses.

Foreshadowing: Earlier tension between Ricky and Dolly over the property dispute established him as a target.

  • ricky
  • bachchan
  • accidents
  • murder
  • conspiracy
  • estate
Q3

Why did Sheena kill Patrick if they were working together?

Patrick had become a liability. Though initially part of the conspiracy, he still represented a claim to Dolly's London bungalow through the legitimate will. By eliminating him, Sheena removed any potential competitor for the estate and consolidated complete control over the assets. His death ensured no one remained who could challenge Sheena and Gaurav's claim to the full inheritance.

  • sheena
  • patrick
  • murder
  • car accident
  • estate
  • betrayal
Q4

What was Gaurav's role in the conspiracy to kill Dolly?

Gaurav, Dolly's trusted lawyer, secretly allied with Sheena. He provided crucial legal assistance and access that enabled the murder to appear as a natural death. His position of trust made him the perfect accomplice, as he could manipulate the legal documentation and advise the other conspirators on how to proceed without raising suspicion. Together with Sheena, he divided Dolly's entire estate after her murder.

  • gaurav
  • lawyer
  • conspiracy
  • sheena
  • dolly
  • murder
Q5

Why did Dolly name Patrick as beneficiary of her London bungalow?

The film doesn't fully explain Dolly's reasoning, but the will names Patrick as beneficiary of the London property specifically. This creates an interesting dynamic where Patrick had a legitimate claim to one asset while others schemed to control the rest of the estate. The will's existence suggests Dolly may have valued Patrick's professional services or had a personal connection to him that the film doesn't elaborate on.

  • dolly
  • patrick
  • will
  • beneficiary
  • london bungalow
Q6

How did Sheena and Gaurav end up with Dolly's property?

After systematically eliminating all other claimants, Ricky through death, Bachchan through death, Dolly through murder, and Patrick through a staged car accident, Sheena and Gaurav remained as the only living conspirators. With Dolly's murder made to look natural and all rivals removed, they simply divided all of Dolly Khambata's property equally between themselves and parted ways, successfully completing their takeover of the estate.

  • sheena
  • gaurav
  • estate
  • property
  • division
  • conspiracy
Q7

Why were most deaths in the film staged as accidents?

Staging deaths as accidents served to avoid police investigation and suspicion. By making Ricky, Bachchan, and Patrick's deaths appear accidental, the conspirators could proceed with their estate takeover without attracting law enforcement attention. This allowed the plot to move forward rapidly while maintaining the appearance of natural circumstances around the deaths.

  • accidents
  • deaths
  • cover-up
  • police
  • investigation
  • conspiracy
Q8

What happened to Ricky's legal claim to Dolly's property after his death?

Ricky's death automatically ended his legal battle to claim his share of Dolly's estate. With him dead, the property dispute that had been escalating simply vanished. This conveniently removed one of the major obstacles to the conspirators' plans, though the film doesn't address what happened to any potential inheritance he might have left behind.

Foreshadowing: Ricky had threatened to drag Dolly to court to claim his share, establishing him as a threat to those wanting control of the estate.

  • ricky
  • property dispute
  • legal battle
  • death
  • claim
Q9

How was Bachchan able to forge signatures for the will?

Bachchan, as the house manager, had intimate knowledge of Dolly's household and presumably access to her documents and signature samples. The film establishes him as adept at copying signatures, which he planned to use to alter the will in favor of himself and Ricky while preserving Patrick's portion of the London property. His skill at forgery was a key component of the original conspiracy scheme.

  • bachchan
  • forgery
  • signatures
  • will
  • conspiracy
Q10

What motivated Sheena to orchestrate Dolly's murder?

Sheena's motivation was purely financial gain. By eliminating Dolly, Sheena could orchestrate a quick transfer of the estate to the conspirators. Dolly's death was necessary to execute their plan of dividing the property among themselves. With Dolly alive and in control of her assets, there would be no opportunity for Sheena and Gaurav to claim the inheritance through their scheme.

  • sheena
  • dolly
  • murder
  • greed
  • inheritance
  • financial gain
