Palatal Lok season 2 review
The ABP Live review of the series reads: What makes this season remarkable is its pacing. The series takes its time, much like a well-done investigative drama, allowing each moment to breathe. The backdrop of Nagaland adds a fresh dimension, tackling socio-political sensitivities with care and authenticity. There’s no unnecessary heroism, loud background scores, or forced action scenes. Even the use of profanity feels organic rather than excessive—after all, ‘Paatal Lok’ wouldn't feel authentic without it.
