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!”
