Everyone’s favorite dive into Delhi’s underbelly is back! The first season, which dropped during 2020’s great indoor festival (aka the pandemic), turned Jaideep Ahlawat into an overnight sensation as Hathi Ram – proving that good things can indeed come from lockdown binge-watching. It also gave Ishwak Singh his moment in the spotlight, though, fortunately, without the show’s signature criminal undertones. Creator Sudip Sharma’s gritty portrayal of Delhi’s dark side had critics swooning and viewers sleeping with their lights on.

FAQs
Q1: Do I need to watch Season 1 before diving into Season 2?
Technically, you could just dive right into Season 2 like a lost tourist in the middle of Delhi traffic, but it is much better to start with Season 1. It’s where you will get to see Hathi Ram Chaudhary in his most tired and fed up avatar and get a glimpse of why Delhi is not just about street food. Besides, you will enjoy every reference, characters’ relations that make Season 2’s plot twists as shocking as an unexpected bill for water supply.
Q2: What made the first season of Paatal Lok so special?
Picture this: a show that turned couch surfing through the COVID-19 lockdowns into a public spirited activity. Season 1 was a winner because it merged realism with drama that was hotter than a mirchi pakoda sold on the streets of India. It made Jaideep Ahlawat the new go-to jaded cop and let us see the hidden side of Delhi. The series received critical acclaim.
Q3: Who are the new faces joining Season 2?
Tillotama Shome, Nagesh Kukunoor and Jahnu Barua are coming to the party. They’ll be mingling with our returning favorites.

As per the creators, if you thought that season one was quite hardcore, then wait until you see season two because it’s going to make season one look like a picnic in the Lodhi Garden. The official teaser hints at a ride rougher than a pothole in Delhi during the monsoon season. While the general storyline remains as secretive as Santa Claus, the public can look forward to more corruption, complexity and mayhem – or just another day in the life of Hathi Ram, but with better lighting.
