Paatal Lok 2: Anurag Kashyap’s Shocking Reaction

The second season of Paatal Lok is out now and has been receiving a positive response from critics and audiences. The new installment came out around five years after the first season and the decent feedback was not expected by anyone.

Meanwhile, director Anurag Kashyap has now shared his opinion about the new season, saying that the direction and performances were something that cannot be outdone by anyone else. He further stated that 2025 has started on a positive note considering that before Paatal Lok Season 2, Black Warrant was also loved by everyone.

Anurag said that he has a habit of going to sleep early nowadays and while he began watching an episode of the second season, he lost his sleep after seeing the opening sequence where Jonathan Thom’s body is discovered.

Anurag mentioned that he slowly started getting immersed into the world of Hathi Ram Chaudhary in a brief period, praising the way the character dwelled in the depths of human darkness. He continued by saying that the show is set in a place that no one pays attention to and that the writing deserves credit for the same.

Anurag additionally requested everyone to watch the show with subtitles for authenticity, creative audaciousness, and acting brilliance. He further stated that he had a breakdown when the show came to an end.

As mentioned, the first season received an amazing response when it was released and it has been a rare case for shows to continue the trend of providing good content in the new season. While audiences were disappointed with Mirzapur Season 3 last year, Paatal Lok Season 2 turned out to be a satisfying watch for everyone.

This proves that the makers of Paatal Lok were not willing to bring a second season just because of its popularity. They aimed to provide a good story and spent more time on the writing and plot because of which the positive response towards Season 2 continues.
