Plot
Mohit Raina’s character, Naveen Sikhera, is promoted to Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) and relocated to the city. Transferring Sikhera is more of a punishment than a promotion. The two gangs that control the city The Dedha brothers rule the west, while the Shaukeen gang controls the east. To continue their operations, the two gangs have divided their territory. Even the neighbourhood police are afraid to question these two gangs because of their extreme level of violence. As the new SSP, IPS officer Naveen Sikhera goes out on his own to clean up the city.

When the first season left off, one gang boss, Shaukeen, had been taken out of Hussainpur by IPS Officer Naveen Sikhera (Mohit Raina), and he now had his sights set on the gang of the Dedha brothers. This second season begins up just where the first one had left off. Will he be successful in making Muzaffarnagar a “peace capital” rather than a “crime capital”?
REVIEW: Created by Harman Baweja, Vicky Bahri and Rahul Prakash, ‘Bhaukaal’ is inspired by real-life incidents and the journey of IPS Officer Navniet Sekera, who rose to prominence as a ‘super cop’ after eradicating many gang lords from Uttar Pradesh. When it comes to criminals and cops attempting to maintain control, the story will undoubtedly be filled with carnage, gang wars, kidnappings, marauding, gaalis, guns and whatnot. And the sequel, ‘Bhaukaal 2’ kickstarts with even more brutality and a massacre.
Season 2 of ‘Bhaukaal’ picks up from where the first one ended. Following the assassination of Shaukeen, one of the gang’s leaders, his girlfriend Nazneen (Bidita Bag) and MP Aslam Rana (Late Major Bikramjeet Kanwarpal) team up with the Dedha brothers—Pintu (Pradeep Nagar) and Chintu (Siddhanth Kapoor). Director Jatin Wagle, who also co-wrote this crime drama with Jay Sheela Bansal and Akash Mohimen, continues to add layers to the subject of how mafias function, how politicians exploit them for their own gain, how the police operate, and how their hands are often tied to follow protocols. If you have seen season one and enjoyed its dark narrative, then the new season certainly ups the ante. However, the overall execution of an intriguing premise is a slow burn. The cat-and-mouse chases get old after a while, and the action doesn’t begin until the sixth episode. Nonetheless, there is some relatability with the protagonist Kaptaan (‘captain’, as the locales, refer to Naveen), it’s easier to empathise with his pain of seeing people die in front of him and being powerless to stop it because criminals are always one step ahead of them. Finally, there’s the grand climax (when the lead confronts the antagonist), which makes it worth watching.
The congested bylanes of UP’s politically volatile towns once again add their rustic flavour and realism. DOP Sumit Samaddar’s cinematography effectively brings them to life. The dialogues, peppered with expletives as is customary, are usually said by everyone. As a result, nearly every statement begins and ends with a gaali.
As super cop Naveen Sikhera, Mohit Raina continues to lead the show with his heroic stunts. But he doesn’t take it to the next level to make the role memorable. Rashmi Rajput, who plays Naveen’s wife Pooja, has a very important role in boosting his morale. Naveen’s core encounter specialist team—Bhaati (Digambar Prasad), Balram (Firoz Khan), Vinod (Amitt Singh), Maruti (Ravishankar Pandey), Pawan (Rohan Verma)—helps him achieve his mission of making the city crime-free.
As Dedha brothers, Pradeep Nagar is striking as merciless Pintu and Siddhanth Kapoor is convincing as Chintu. Their primary goal is to take control of Muzaffarnagar with the slogan ‘Bhaukaal macha do (terrifying people).’ And for that, they have no bounds, and they are to blame for the commotion in the city.
Bidita Bag’s Nazneen has a meatier role this time around, as shown right from the very first scene of the series. Whether she’s using cuss words or ruling the men-dominating mafia business, she impresses in every frame. Late Major Bikramjeet Kanwarpal is excellent as MP Aslam Rana, who talks less but speaks more with his mere presence. Gulki Joshi as crime journalist Neha had a more prominent role in the previous season than this one.
Just like the previous season, the series starts on a predictable note with one cliché after another. It takes a while for this 10-part drama to get into the groove, but this combination of a gritty and gruesome tale of power and politics gradually draws you in. While similar crime dramas set in the same UP hinterland (such as ‘Asur’, ‘Mirzapur’, and others) have been seen before, ‘Bhaukaal 2’ is a welcome addition due to treatment given to the real-life incidents it is based on. So, if you like intense crime dramas and Mohit Raina, this is a must-watch.
