Story:
In the second season of Paatal Lok, Hathi Ram Chaudhary returns to conduct another investigation in a state rife with political turmoil. This time, he must investigate the murder of Thom, the influential founder of the Nagaland Democratic Forum. At the same time, Raghu Paswan, a worker, disappears, prompting his wife to lodge a complaint. What similarities might these two apparently unrelated cases share? As the plot develops, Hathi Ram explores the murky and multifaceted domain of crime, discovering that the truth is not as clear-cut as it may seem.
Performances:
Jaideep Ahlawat delivers a terrific performance as Hathiram Chaudhary and continues the good work from season 1. Ishwak Singh also gave an effective performance as ACP Ansari. Tilottama Shome was perfect, while Nagesh Kukunoor, Gul Panag, and Anurag Arora were apt. All the actors who played the characters of Nagaland people were effective.
Analysis:
When a much-awaited series such as Paatal Lok takes four years to come back, people naturally have high expectations, and the creators of Paatal Lok fulfill those expectations. The season changes the backdrop to Nagaland this time, intertwining two distinct events: the murder of a political figure and the disappearance of a laborer. The storytelling is mostly spot-on, with just a few minor issues, and the concluding moments elevate the experience with a clean and straightforward approach. One might feel that a big surprise or twist is missing but it is not a big issue.
Positives:
- Performances
- Gripping Narration
- Few Intriguing Dialogues/Scenes
- Climax
Negatives:
- Confusing scenes at a few places
- Few Dull Moments
Paatal Lok 2 Web Series Review and Verdict:
