According to viewership data released by Ormax, the series has recorded more than 3.5 million views since its premiere on June 19, 2026. The numbers indicate sustained audience interest in the second season, which arrived after the success of the show's debut installment and carried forward the story of its central characters.

Directed by Shraddha Pasi Jairath, the Hotstar Specials drama stars Sanchita Basu, Dhaval Thakur and Aniruddh Dave in key roles. The latest season continues the emotional journey of Shanvika Chauhan and Kuldeep Kumar, exploring themes of love, betrayal, regret and revenge.

While the first season built its popularity through an intense romantic storyline, the second chapter expands the narrative by bringing political conflict into the personal rivalry between the lead characters. The story attempts to move beyond a relationship drama and enters a larger social and power struggle, giving viewers a broader canvas than before.

The show’s performance reflects a growing trend in the Indian OTT market, where relationship-driven dramas continue to attract strong audiences, particularly among younger viewers. Industry observers note that streaming platforms have increasingly relied on emotionally charged stories with familiar characters to retain subscriber engagement and encourage repeat viewing.

Audience reactions online have been mixed but largely positive. Many viewers have praised the performances of the lead cast and the continuation of the story arc established in the first season. Discussions across social media platforms suggest that fans who followed the original series were eager to see how the relationship between Shanvika and Kuldeep evolved after the dramatic events of the previous season.

At the same time, some reviews have pointed out that portions of the narrative rely on conventional storytelling techniques. Critics have argued that while the series remains engaging in parts, it does not completely break away from familiar television-style drama formats. Even so, the show's viewership numbers suggest that audience interest has remained strong despite such criticism.

The ensemble cast includes Dhaval Thakur, Sanchita Basu, Aniruddh Dave, Sushil Pandey, Govind Pandey and Palak Jain. Their performances have been highlighted by viewers as one of the factors contributing to the show's popularity.

Another indicator of the series’ reception is its user rating on IMDb, where it currently holds a score of 7.8 out of 10. Though audience ratings can fluctuate over time, the score reflects a favourable response from a significant section of viewers.

The success of Thukra Ke Mera Pyaar Season 2 comes at a time when competition among Hindi-language OTT releases remains intense. Streaming services continue to invest heavily in original content, making sustained audience engagement an important benchmark for success.

With 3.5 million views already recorded within 20 days of release, the series has strengthened its position among recent digital releases and demonstrated the continued appeal of romance-driven dramas in India’s streaming landscape.

Whether the show can maintain its momentum in the coming weeks remains to be seen, but its early performance has given JioHotstar another notable success in the crowded OTT market.
