Ab Hoga Hisaab Season 2 Review: Paisa Vasool Ya Time Waste?
So the hisaab is finally being settled. This Ab Hoga Hisaab Season 2 review cuts to what fans actually want to know — did Shaheer Sheikh's revenge hunt land, or does it drown in its own subplots? The show dropped free on Amazon MX Player on July 3, 2026, and the critic scores are all over the map. Here's the twist nobody's talking about. One review handed it a middling 3/5. Another slapped it with a brutal 2/10. That's not a small gap. That's two people watching what feels like two different shows. We watched. We took a side. Read on.
The Verdict — Paisa Vasool Ya Time Waste?
Our rating: 3/5. A one-time watch, carried almost entirely by its lead. Shaheer Sheikh is the reason to press play. The subject — organized crime, trafficking, a brother gone missing — hits hard. But the writing keeps wandering off, and 10 episodes is at least two too many. If you loved Season 1, you'll finish this one. If you're new, you'll feel the drag by episode five. Simple as that.
What's Ab Hoga Hisaab Season 2 About?
Season 2 picks up right where the first left off. Bobby Manocha has one thing on his mind: find his missing brother Bunty, dig out the truth behind the disappearance, and that hunt drags him straight into Goldy Sekhon's guarded world (Bollywood Hungama). Bobby has to earn Goldy's trust to get close to any answers. And as he does, old secrets surface, the alliance turns dangerous, and betrayal starts creeping in from every corner. Need the backstory? Season 1 set it all up. Bobby got deported from Canada, came back to Punjab, and got tangled in Goldy's organ-trafficking network while trying to secure Bunty's future — a mess that turned bloody once Bunty started uncovering the operation (IMDb). That first season sits at a 6.3/10 on IMDb, so this is a franchise with a real following to answer to. The trafficking angle still runs through everything — human trafficking, illegal immigration routes to Canada, the whole ugly web (Leisurebyte). It's grim, and it's relevant. That counts for something.
Shaheer Sheikh's Performance — Bobby's Transformation
This is where the show earns its keep. Shaheer Sheikh's Bobby is a different animal from his old TV roles. Reviewers called it "less romantic intensity, more contained determination," and that's exactly right. He's coiled, quiet, and dangerous. The promo framing put it bluntly: "Bobby's desperation in Season 2 is unlike anything we've seen from him before. He's willing to do whatever it takes to find Bunty." Fans expecting the soft romantic lead will be surprised. He sells the grief. He sells the rage. When the script gives him nothing, he still holds the frame. That's a lead doing heavy lifting.
Mouni Roy as Kamna — New Shades This Season
Mouni Roy's Kamna is the frustrating one. Per Leisurebyte, she's "decent but inconsistent" — her sharpness comes and goes scene to scene, and she keeps missing things a smart character would clock instantly. You can see the intent. A layered woman caught between sides. But the writing doesn't hand her enough to build on, so the performance flickers instead of burning steady.
Sanjay Kapoor as Goldy — The Antagonist That (Mostly) Works
Sanjay Kapoor brings a cold, calculating menace to Goldy Sekhon, and it keeps the central conflict ticking. When he's on screen and controlled, the tension is real. Here's the catch, and it's a real one. Some critics didn't buy him — or Mouni Roy — as villains at all, saying the pair felt like they were "masquerading as villains instead of being actual bad guys." Your mileage will depend on how much menace you need from your bad guys.
What Doesn't Work
The show loses its way. It keeps shoving romantic-drama subplots ahead of the crime-thriller spine, and the Bobby-Kamna romance has no emotional foundation to stand on. Critics were blunt about it. Then there's the length. Ten episodes, and not enough plot to fill them. Critics found the story "stretched," the pacing "repetitive and meandering," with several side characters who add nothing. A tighter six-episode cut would've been sharper. Instead you get filler dressed up as build-up.
Ab Hoga Hisaab Season 2 Review: Is It Worth Watching?
Depends what you're after. For Shaheer Sheikh's arc and a socially loaded premise, yes — press play. Avinash Mishra and Aasheema Vardaan back him up well too, rounding out a cast that also features Nimrit Kaur Ahluwalia and Harman Singha (Filmibeat). For a taut, edge-of-seat thriller with no fat on it, you'll be checking the clock. And about those wild scores. Per Leisurebyte, the 2/10 hatchet job actually reads like it's leaning on Season 1's deportation origin story, so treat it as an outlier, not the last word. The honest read: critics are genuinely split, and the truth sits somewhere in that middle. Our call stands at 3/5. Worth a weekend binge if the cast is your thing — skippable if it isn't.
