'Kohrra' Season 1 Set High Benchmark

The first season of Kohrra, which premiered on 15 July 2023, garnered significant praise for its authentic portrayal of police investigations and its exploration of deep-seated societal issues within rural Punjab. It earned a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and secured five awards at the 2023 Filmfare OTT Awards, including Best Actor for Suvinder Vicky and Best Supporting Actor for Barun Sobti. This established a high bar for the second season, which shifts its setting from Jagrana to the Dalerpura Police Station and introduces a new central case involving the murder of a woman found in a barn.

Mona Singh and Barun Sobti Win Praise

A significant change in the second season is the introduction of Mona Singh, who steps into a lead role alongside Barun Sobti. Viewers have been quick to commend the chemistry and individual performances of the new investigative pair. Social media users on X (formerly Twitter) have lauded Singh for her "quiet strength" and "restrained authority" as Dhanwant Kaur, a character navigating institutional resistance and personal grief. Barun Sobti, reprising his role as Garundi, is noted for his "effortlessly nuanced" portrayal, showcasing a character with increased responsibility and emotional complexities as he begins a new chapter as a commanding officer. ‘Kohrra’ Season 2: Barun Sobti and Mona Singh Team Up for Another Gripping Murder Mystery (Watch Video)

'Kohrra' Season 2 Tackles Punjab’s Dark Realities

The narrative of Kohrra Season 2 reportedly opens with the visuals of a Prabhat Feri, a morning procession, which then fades into a dawn that reveals not just a murder mystery but a deeper "reckoning." The season is said to explore themes of patriarchy, generational bitterness, and the crushing burden of social constraints, painting a "chilling portrait of Punjab's self-destructive cultural patterns." The series, co-created by Sudip Sharma, Gunjit Chopra and Diggi Sisodia, continues its signature "inside-out approach" to tackle macro themes such as bonded labour, regional discrimination, and the lingering impact of the militancy period in the early 1990s.
