Anurag shared a poster of the show. He reviewed Kohrra season two and hailed Sudip. Anurag wrote, "Could not stop watching it. Sudip Sharma is officially the first show runner in India who now has two better second seasons of two great shows. First Paatal Lok and now Kohraa. The story telling is peak, taking its time to unfold, letting characters breathe. Is in no hurry to solve the mystery, and in the process unpacks a whole town of people that needs therapy, including its protagonists."

Anurag thanks Netflix India, too

He also thanked Netflix India for "letting the language of the land be and not alter with the genetics of its milieu." "Mona Singh and Barun Sobti’s characters and performances are so cathartic.

And kudos where it’s due, to the creatives of Netflix to allow it to just be and breathe," he added.

Anurag calls show world-class

"Gives me a lot of hope. Unmissable and unmistakably world-class. Haven’t seen better writing in a long time. And then congratulations @netflix.in for letting the language of the land be and not alter with the genetics of its milieu. Cinematography, music, performances, every single department deserves all the praise. This is going to blow up (fingers crossed emoji)," he concluded.
