OTT web series Bhaukaal 2 review
Director Jatin Wagle with his writing team Akash Mohimen and Jay Sheela Bansal stay true to the first season and continue it with the same populist approach.
Its serves to the action hungry souls who don,t mind extra blood, crass words and gore.
Some innovation at least in the second season may have been better but it’s like work done and not accomplished.
Things go like routine in this web series based on IPS Navniet Seikera's tenure as SSP in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh.
Mohit Raina is natural and it’s the faulty scripting that fails to give layers and goes damn predictable in this marathon 10 episode series.
The Dedha gang takes some extra footage this time where Pradeep Nagar as Pintu Dedha and his crazy younger brother Chintu Dedha (Siddhanth Kapoor) provide the tension and chills.
The writer director should have worked properly on the reformation part which could have given the series the much needed booster.
It’s not absent but insufficient.
The confrontation between the antagonist and protagonist lacks intensity
The waste of a talent like Bidita Bag is shocking.
The reference of Mahabharata, the constant connection with IPS Navniet Seikera and his team and the rugged hinterland setting and atmosphere makes it watchable.
Final words
Not bad, and not sad either due to the positive message, so if you have loved the first season and are fine with extra blood, gore, and continue use of foul language then go for it.
