Inspector Avinash Season 2 Debuts on JioHotstar as Early Reviews Weigh Craft Against Hooda’s Lead

Critics say Randeep Hooda lifts a familiar cop thriller with a grounded turn.

Overview

  • Inspector Avinash Season 2 began streaming on JioHotstar Friday, May 15, in India.
  • Early reviews from Hindustan Times, News18 and Free Press Journal praise Hooda but cite dated dialogue, uneven pacing and patchy sound.
  • The new chapter follows Avinash taking on a weapons cartel as his son is linked to a murder case.
  • The production leans on authenticity, with Hooda coached by the real officer and director Neerraj Pathak using real 1990s names with Jio Studios’ support.
  • The team says set clips leaked during filming, with Pathak calling leaks tragic and profit driven and Hooda suggesting some are released on purpose as PR.
