Bhaukaal Season 2, streaming on MX Player, once again takes us to Muzaffarnagar where the honest IPS officer Naveen Sikhera (Mohin Raina) has vowed to make the city crime-free and make cops instead of gangsters the idols of youngsters. In the first season, Sikhera had eliminated Shaukeen, the dreaded crime lord of Hussainpur. In this season he crosses swords with the Dedha brothers, Pintu (Pradeep Nagar) and Chintu (Siddhanth Kapoor) who are deadlier than Shaukeen.

He has also got to contend with Nazneen (Bidita Bag), who has the list of places where Shaukeen had hidden his wealth and who now bankrolls the Dedha brothers to extract her revenge against Sikhera for having killed Shaukeen. Then the local politician Aslam Rana (Late Bikramjeet Kanwarpal) also interferes in Sikhera's work as he tries to use both Nazneen and the Dedhas to stay in power.

Sikhera puts together a team of cops and tries to win the confidence of the local people. But the Dedhas carry out massacres and kill all those who try to help the police team. When the mayhem gets over board, a senior officer is deputed to see what Sikhera is doing and how he is planning to bring things under control. There is a mole in the police team and the Dedha brothers are always one step ahead. But by the 6th episode, Sikhera finds out about the mole and launches a frontal attack on the gang. Finally, he manages to wipe them out.

Mohit Raina is excellent as the officer who does everything right but fails to get results initially as things go against him. Bidita Bag as the rich avenger is also good. Bikramjeet Kanwarpal as the scheming politician delivers an impressive performance. But it is Pradeep Nagar and Siddhant Kapoor who steal the show as the vile villains. The series uses explicit language and shows the hinterland as it is. Although dark, the narrative keeps one hooked and the viewer is as frustrated as Naveen Sikhera when the hands of the police are tied to follow protocols while the gangsters can do much as they please.
