What's the plot of Abar Proloy 2?
Abar Proloy Season 2 features Saswata Chatterjee as the gritty cop Animesh Dutta. Directed by Raj Chakraborty, the story shifts from the Sundarbans to Kolkata, following Dutta as he hunts a syndicate conducting rapid gold heists linked by a cryptic “Netaji’s Salute” clue.
The narrative, moving away from the Sundarbans, takes place in the bustling streets of Kolkata. Animesh Dutta investigates a series of highly organised, swift gold robberies in which criminals strike and vanish into the crowded urban landscape. The story explores deep-rooted corruption, urban power, and organised crime networks.
This show explores the ruthlessness and sophistication of modern, organised criminal networks (gold heists) active in the metropolis. It continues to examine the personal toll on Animesh Dutta, portraying him as a "hunter" who works with focus rather than just through loud action. This series highlights how a "city" responds to rising crime, exploring the pressures on the police and the loss of trust among citizens. This season has been described as faster-paced, more dynamic, and featuring higher-level action compared to the first season.
