JioCinema’s crime thriller, Asur 2, has become the most popular Indian show as per IMDb worldwide ratings (ranked 50th across the globe).
The show which bowed down to the audiences’ demand and released all its balance episodes at one go on June 3 (as against its daily episode plan), has close to near 3 crore viewers and close to 300 crore minutes of Watch Time in just over three weeks, as per the platform.
The first season of Asur garnered a devoted fan base, thanks to its storyline and performances by Arshad Warsi and Barun Sobti. The show weaved together the mysteries of mythology and the realities of forensic science, creating a combination that kept audiences on the edge of their seats. Now, in its second season, Asur has taken the narrative to new heights.
The show features Ridhi Dogra, Anupriya Goenka, Amey Wagh, Meiyang Chang, Abhishek Chauhan, and Gaurav Arora.
Arshad Warsi, reprising his role as the popular and much-loved forensic expert, Dhananjay Rajpoot, said, “I always knew Asur was an exceptional show. I am glad that today, everyone mirrors the same feeling! With the kind of fandom this show has created, we’re glad this season could take the excitement to new heights. For me, the hero of the show has always been the gripping and fast paced story telling. I am not surprised but yes, grateful that this one-of-kind- crime thriller is now ranked as the most popular show from India!”.
Barun Sobti shared, “I don’t think anything could have prepared us for this kind of fandom and critical acclaim for Asur 2. Despite a 3-year hiatus the reaction for the trailer itself was absolutely phenomenal! From recreating the show’s iconic dialogues and themes to the incessant demand to be able to binge watch the show at one go – the fandom for this show is unprecedented compared to any OTT web series. The outpouring love continues and only grows every single day and now with IMDb ranking it as India’s most popular show, we can safely say, Asur 2 has only started its journey of creating new benchmarks in cinematic excellence!”
Adding to the fandom of Asur 2, Mumbai Police shared an Asur-inspired social media post to generate awareness amongst citizens.
