==Plot==
The story picks up seven years after the events of the first film. Sakshi lives with her now seven-year-old daughter Ishani and Inspector Samar.

Ishani suffers from a rare condition that makes sunlight lethal to her — a protection by design to shield her from dark forces. Ishani is suddenly kidnapped by sinister villagers linked to her mother's ex-husband, Rajbir’s village cult. Sakshi and Inspector Samar return to the haunted sugarcane fields and the cursed village to save her daughter and confront supernatural threats.

They uncover the cult led by a shape-shifting high-priestess, Daasi Maa, and patriarchal elders engaged in child marriage and sacrificial rituals for immortality. Sakshi discovers eerie underground labyrinths where young brides are imprisoned and exploited. Amidst the scenario, she discovers Rani, who gets killed and dragged away by the still-alive Rajbir. The latter whips Sakshi unconscious and leaves her in the spiraling staircase of a well.

When Rajbir returns to drag away Sakshi's body, assuming her to be dead, he is killed by Sakshi, who is possessed by the spirits of Rani and all the murdered women. After this, Sakshi goes to the well to rescue Ishani while Samar fends off the rest of the cult. In the following chaos, Sakshi evokes a change in Daasi Maa's mindset for the better and manages to rescue Ishani, but ends up battling a half-human, cave-dwelling monster that sustains itself by preying on young girls (the creature for which all the sacrificial rituals were done). The reformed Daasi Maa also helps Sakshi by distracting the monster with her shape-shifted form.

Ishani is sent to safety under Daasi Maa’s care, but Sakshi is pulled back into the well by the monster using chains and remains trapped underground, gearing up for what appears to be another showdown (potentially leading to another sequel).

==Reception==
Rahul Desai of ''[[The Hollywood Reporter India]]'' observed that "Despite its mood-lullaby vibe, Chhorii 2 resembles a curated museum exhibit of go-girl tropes. It’s all too familiar. And if Vishal Furia’s horror film were a person, it’d be a [[gender studies]] student on a gap year."<ref>{{cite web | last=Desai| first=Rahul| title='Chhorii 2' Movie Review: A Feminism-for-Dummies Horror sequal| url=https://www.hollywoodreporterindia.com/reviews/streaming/chhorii-2-movie-review-a-feminism-for-dummies-horror-sequel| website=The Hollywood Reporter India| date=11 April 2025}}</ref>
[[Sukanya Verma]] of ''[[rediff.com]]'' rated 1.5/5 stars and said that "Chhorii 2 frustrates way more than it frightens".<ref>{{cite web | last=Verma| first=Sukanya| title=Chhorii 2 Review: Sigh.

Dhaval Roy of ''[[The Times of India]]'' gave 3.5 stars out of 5 and said that "A socially charged horror tale packed with unnerving visuals and strong performances makes this a gripping watch from start to end."<ref>{{cite web | last=Roy | first=Dhaval| title=Chhorii 2 Review : Fear, folklore, and a social message up the scare game | url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/chhorii-2/ottmoviereview/120171638.cms| website=The Times of India | date=11 April 2025}}</ref>
Sana Farzeen of ''[[India Today]]'' rated 2.5/5 stars and she observed that "The film struggles to deliver the intended chills, leading to a lacklustre experience."<ref>{{cite web | last=Farzeen | first=Sana| title=Chhorii 2 review: Nushrratt-Soha's film fights social evils but where's the scare?| url=https://www.indiatoday.in/entertainment/ott/story/chhorii-2-review-nushrratt-bharuccha-soha-ali-khan-film-fights-social-evils-but-wheres-the-scare-2707343-2025-04-11| website=India Today | date=11 April 2025}}</ref>

Vinamra Mathur of ''[[Firstpost]]'' gave 2.5 stars and said "The intent is right and the theme is correct. The visuals are effective even if the execution falters".<ref>{{cite web | last=Mathur| first=Vinamra| title=Chhorii 2 movie review: Nushrratt Bharuccha and Soha Ali Khan battle out in this innocuous horror-thriller| url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/chhorii-2-movie-review-nushrratt-bharuccha-and-soha-ali-khan-battle-out-in-this-innocuous-horror-thriller-13878898.html| website=Firstpost| date=11 April 2025}}</ref>
Udita Jhunjhunwala of ''[[Scroll.in]]'' commented that "The film’s themes include blind faith and fierce misogyny. After a great deal of blood, tears and screams, the emotional and disturbing core of Chhorii 2 is somewhat outdone by its focus on motifs, message and technique."<ref>{{cite web | last=Jhunjhunwala| first=Udita| title='Chhorii 2' review: A well-crafted and performed scarefest about horrors old and new| url=https://scroll.in/reel/1081074/chhorii-2-review-a-well-crafted-and-performed-scarefest-about-horrors-old-and-new| website=Scroll.in| date=11 April 2025}}</ref>

A critic from ''[[Bollywood Hungama]]'' gave 2 stars out of 5 and said that "CHHORII 2 rests on fine performances and a strong message but suffers due to a weak script, underwhelming climax and tacky VFX".<ref>{{cite web | last=Hungama| first=Bollywood| title=Chhorii 2 Movie Review: Despite fine performances CHHORII 2 suffers from a weak script.

Soumyabrata Gupta ''[[Times Now]]'' observed that "The Film lacks in using tropes of the genre to its fullest, becoming preachy rather than a terrifying watch."<ref>{{cite web | last=Soumyabrata| first=Gupta| title=Chhorii 2 Movie Review: Nushrratt Bharuccha, Soha Ali Khan Horror Sequel Is Anything But Horrifying
