Let's take a look at what netizens have to say about the mythological crime thriller

Another user wrote, "An absolutely brilliant start to #Asur2: The 2 episodes make you revisit the case of an antagonist driven to create anarchy! The characters are burdened by guilt & grief but want the madness to end: The layered writing stays consistent: Pumped to see more."

Talking about the picturisation in the web series, a fan tweeted, "What a Monster Intro They Have created Mann... The Animation, those Sanskrit Shloka's, the thought behind it, that obsessive background music."

The third one mentioned, "What's unsettling about what #Asur2 (very cleverly) tries to show is that Shubh's/Kali ideology can be tempting to human nature, for our morals repress our 'urges', our primal instincts or as they're calling it, our dark side, which can be to the detriment of others if let loose."

Talking about Barun Sobti's role the actor has carved a niche for himself and aced his acting capabilities.

A user mentioned is a household name because of his charm in TV serials. Makers finally recognized the actor behind that charm and gave this twisted character to him and he just blew my mind. He is the most righteous man in this series but faces the most difficulties because of that."
