The popular series ‘Paatal Lok’ is back with its second season, and Jaideep Ahlawat is returning as Inspector Hathiram Chaudhary. After the dramatic ending of the first season, in which Hathiram killed Vishal Tyagi (played by Abhishek Banerjee), the new season will take a deeper look at the dark side of society.
Paatal Lok Season 2 Teaser
The recently released teaser for ‘Paatal Lok’ Season 2 is one minute and fifty-eight seconds long and sets a dark tone for the upcoming season. In the teaser, Hathiram is shown in an elevator, pressing the "P" button. He starts telling a story about the "insects" in society, which acts as a metaphor for crime and justice.

In the teaser, Hathiram tells a story about a man in a village who hated insects, thinking they were the cause of all evil. After killing one insect, the man is celebrated as a hero. However, his peace is short-lived as more insects appear. This suggests that one act of justice can’t get rid of all the evil, as it always comes back.
The teaser features Jaideep Ahlawat as Hathiram Chaudhary in an elevator. He looks into the camera and says, “Want to hear a story? Once upon a time, in a quiet village, there lived a man. A man who hated insects with every fibre of his being. He believed these creatures were behind all of the world’s evil. Then one day, an insect crawled out from the corner of his house and bit him. He mustered up all his courage... and killed it. And what do you know? Overnight, he became a hero! The villagers worshipped him like he was their saviour. For many nights, he slept peacefully. Until one still, eerie night, something moved under his bed. First, it was one insect. Then ten, then hundreds, thousands, millions—it was endless. Poor guy thought he killed one insect and that it was all over. That’s not how it works. Not down here in Paatal Lok.”
The teaser ends with Hathiram saying: “Use kya laga tha, ek keede ko maar dia toh khel khatam. Aisa thode hota hai Paatal Lok?” (What did he think? Killing one pest is enough? That’s not how Paatal Lok works).
The teaser’s repeated mention of “keede” (insects) holds multiple meanings. While it hints at Hathiram facing more criminals in Season 2, it might also suggest that the story could continue beyond the second season. The reference to millions of pests suggests that ‘Paatal Lok’ has a bigger story to tell, possibly stretching beyond Season 2.
