Hunter Season 2 Review: Suniel Shetty & Jackie Shroff Light Up This Retro-Action Masala Ride With Emotion & Explosions

When Suniel Shetty growls “Tootega nahi, todega,” you know you’re not just watching a web series — you’re diving into a full-blown Bollywood-style action dhamaka, laced with emotion, old-school swag, and some serious dad-energy. Hunter Season 2, now streaming free on Amazon MX Player, brings back the bruised but badass ACP Vikram Sinha, this time on a mission that’s personal — and deadly.

But wait — this ain’t just Anna’s solo game anymore. Joining him in this explosive chapter is none other than Jackie Shroff, looking smooth as ever, playing a cigar-smoking villain on a cruise ship, and stealing scenes like a seasoned salesman… quite literally.


This Time, It’s Personal — With a Global Twist

Season 2 kicks off right where the previous one left us hanging — only now, we’re cruising into Thailand, where Jackie Shroff’s character, dubbed Salesman, enters with that signature whistle and a puff of retro coolness. Just seconds in, you get the vibe — this ain’t your regular cop-chasing-criminal gig. It’s bigger, sleeker, and soaked in vintage Bollywood nostalgia.

And Vikram? He’s not chasing just justice. He’s chasing a piece of his soul — his daughter Pooja, who was presumed dead but is now in Salesman’s clutches. What follows is a cross-border cat-and-mouse game where a broken father must outwit a man who’s always two steps ahead.


Vintage Tunes Meet Modern Carnage

One of Hunter’s biggest hooks is its killer use of classic Bollywood songs as background scores during action sequences. Ever imagined a bathroom fight choreographed to “Mere Sapno Ki Rani”? Well, now you don’t have to.

The cinematography is sleek, the color grading poppy, and the vibes straight out of a high-budget Bollywood flick from the 90s — only this time, it’s sharper, more violent, and far more emotional. Director duo Prince Dhiman and Alok Batra clearly know their genre and lean into it with confidence.


Suniel Shetty: The Father, The Fighter

Suniel Shetty, at 63, is aging like action wine. His portrayal of ACP Vikram isn’t just about punches and punches. It’s about pain, regret, and righteous rage. Whether he’s fighting off thugs or staring blankly at a photo of his missing daughter, his performance feels deeply personal.

He’s not a superhero — he’s a tired man with blood on his hands and heartbreak in his eyes. Think John Wick with desi emotions and daddy duty.


Jackie Shroff: Stylish, Sinister, & Surprisingly Youthful

At 68, Jackie Shroff still owns every frame he walks into. His role may be limited, but when he shows up — boy, does he leave an impact. From slick dialogues to subtle menace, he gives Salesman a layered personality. And guess what? He actually looks younger than Shetty at times — Bollywood’s own Benjamin Button?

The chemistry between Shetty and Shroff is electric. Watching these two legends on opposite sides of a twisted moral game is like watching two lions circling each other. You don’t blink. You just watch.


What Works, What Falters

The action sequences are sharp and stylized, while the emotional beats, especially the flashbacks and the father-daughter dynamic, hit home — especially with “Zindagi Kaisi Hai Paheli” playing in the background.

Anusha Dandekar gets more screen time and impresses, while Barkha Bisht does what she can, though her character feels a bit over-the-top at times. The VFX, however, don’t always rise to the occasion. And yes, episode 5 feels like it’s dragging its feet, but the pace recovers just in time.

With only six episodes, the show packs in quite a lot — action, drama, nostalgia, even a few bikini shots and abusive language that might make you double-check who’s watching with you.


Final Verdict: A Stylish, Punchy Throwback You Can Binge In One Go

Hunter Season 2 is like that vintage bike with new nitro fuel — familiar, comforting, but with enough modern masala to keep the engine roaring. It may not break new ground, but it doesn’t have to. It’s a good ol’ fashioned entertainer made for fans who crave retro swag, high-stakes action, and Bollywood-style emotional punches.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

Watch it for the power-packed face-off between Suniel Shetty and Jackie Shroff, the nostalgic music integration, and that timeless thrill of watching legends do what they do best — fight, feel, and fire up the screen.

Because sometimes, all you need is a story about a dad, a daughter, and a whole lot of badassery.
