Arshad Warsi, Barun Sobti Are In Top Form; Deliver A Captivating Comeback

Asur is back after three years. Season 2 of the Arshad Warsi and Barun Sobti starrer crime thriller, is set against the backdrop of Hindu mythology. It carries forward the sur-asur saga. Season 2 is more intense and the stakes really high.

Directed by Oni Sen, Asur 2 picks up right where Season 1 left off. The system is reeling from the reign of terror that Shubh Joshi (Vishesh Bansal) had unleashed. In the previous episodes, we were introduced to Shubh, masquerading as Asur or demon, espousing his twisted mentality and justifying mindless massacre of innocents. In the new season, the thrilling cat-and-mouse chase continues while Dhananjay Rajpoot (Arshad Warsi) and Nikhil Nair (Barun Sobti) deal with their past trauma and come together to save lives.

Asur 2

Barun Sobti delivers a compelling performance
Barun Sobti as forensic expert Nikhil bares it out with a stirring display of emotions. An ‘incompetent’ father who was unable to save his daughter and a ‘failed’ husband who could not keep his family together, Nikhil is hounded with the life as was. Barun’s sincerity, as he takes on this layered character, shines through. Arshad Warsi also fits into the picture with ease. Although he has found refuge in spirituality, his tainted past hunts him down. How long till he finds his way back to his duty?
