Three years after its haunting premiere, ‘Kohrra’ returns to Netflix with its second instalment, just as chilling but with a more pointed gaze. The absence of Suvinder Vicky, who played the formidable Sub-Inspector Balbir Singh, is keenly felt throughout the episode; however, the series quickly finds a new emotional pivot with the introduction of Mona Singh as Dhanwant Kaur. She brings a restrained authority and emotional undercurrent to the burgeoning disaster that's unfurling, while Barun Sobti is back as Assistant Sub-Inspector Amarpal Garundi, giving yet another performance filled with pathos and moral wrestling.
The investigation in the second season takes us to the outskirts of Dalerpura as an NRI murder sends ripples of shock waves, revealing something far more sinister than a single criminal act – deep-rooted generational trauma, underlying grudges and the crushing burden of social constraints. Developed and penned by Gunjit Chopra, Diggi Sisodia, and Sudip Sharma, the series delves further into characters' psychology as silences carry as much weight as dialogues.
Viewers were quick to take to social media, sharing their reactions to the new season’s tone, performances and storytelling choices.

Neeti Roy highlighted the show’s thematic depth, “#KohrraSeason2 isn’t just a murder mystery — it’s a slow, haunting unpacking of guilt, patriarchy, generational bitterness, and silence. It begins as a crime thriller but evolves into a piercing social drama. #MonaSingh anchors the show with quiet strength, while #BarunSobti remains effortlessly nuanced. Dark, layered, and deeply affecting. This one stays with you. 🙌🏼”

A fan account, @daalchaawal_, shared a thread focusing on Barun Sobti’s performance, "Garundi’s situation is always more engaging, partly because of the moral dilemmas it poses but also due to #BarunSobti’s perfectly judged performance. Sobti is excellent as the messy yet endearing boy-man"

Deepansh Duggal further reflected on the season’s opening imagery, “Kohrra Season 2 opens with the visuals of Prabhat Feri. As the procession fades into the dawn, the fog leaves behind not just a murder mystery but a reckoning. S2 is a chilling portrait of Punjab's self-destructive cultural patterns.”

Season 2 does more than present a whodunnit. It explores how pride, patriarchy and unresolved family wounds shape the lives of its characters. The fog that gives the series its name becomes a metaphor once again, not just for obscured evidence, but for emotional blindness and cultural denial.

In the end, ‘Kohrra’ Season 2 lingers long after the final frame. It is not merely about solving a crime; it is about confronting the systems and silences that allow such tragedies to unfold. The storyline threads together murder, migration, masculinity and memory, creating a portrait of Punjab that feels both intimate and unflinching.
