Vash Level 2 on OTT Release
Vash Level 2 has finally made its way to Netflix, and horror fans have already started dimming the lights and locking their doors figuratively speaking, of course. Released in theatres on August 27, 2025, this Gujarati supernatural psychological horror film didn’t just ride on the success of its predecessor; it deepened the creepiness that made the first one unforgettable. The movie began streaming on Netflix on October 22, 2025, in both Gujarati and Hindi, giving those who missed it on the big screen a fresh chance to get spooked at home.
This sequel takes place twelve years after the chilling events of the original Vash. Atharva, played by Hitu Kanodia, once again finds himself battling the unseen darkness that refuses to die, while Janki Bodiwala returns as Arya, his daughter, whose innocence masks the lingering shadows of the past. It’s funny how sequels often feel unnecessary, but here, the story actually makes sense. Evil has a memory, after all. And in this world, it seems twelve years isn’t nearly long enough for curses to fade.
The film was directed by Krishnadev Yagnik and Yash Vaishnav, the same minds that crafted the eerie tone of the first movie. Their touch is evident throughout the sharp pacing, the unnerving silences, and that peculiar sense of dread that grows slowly rather than jumping out from behind cupboards. Viewers familiar with the first film’s Hindi remake, “Shaitaan,” starring Ajay Devgn, might even find themselves smirking at familiar plot beats; turns out, horror has a way of traveling across languages too.
Speaking of language, it’s quite refreshing to see Gujarati cinema breaking through regional barriers, landing on Netflix’s massive platform. Not long ago, you had to hunt down regional horror films through word of mouth or obscure websites. Now, they’re right there on the homepage, sitting next to million-dollar Hollywood thrillers. That in itself feels like a small win for Indian cinema’s growing diversity online. I caught myself recommending the movie to a friend in Delhi, who said, “Gujarati horror? Didn’t know that was even a genre.” Well, it is now.
At roughly 103 minutes long, Vash Level 2 doesn’t overstay its welcome. There are moments where it feels more atmospheric than outright terrifying, but that’s part of its charm. It lets unease settle in instead of constantly jolting the viewer. And there’s a satisfying emotional thread; it’s equally about family and fear, about what you do when the worst parts of your past come knocking again. The performances help too: Janki Bodiwala carries her role with a quiet intensity that sneaks up on you, while Hiten Kumar and Monal Gajjar add depth rather than distraction.
Of course, if you’re like me and tried watching it late at night thinking, “It’s just another psychological horror,” do yourself a favor: keep the lights on for the first half hour. There’s something about the film’s use of everyday spaces, from dim classrooms to rural homes, that feels too close for comfort. And that’s exactly what makes it effective. It’s not about jump scares but the slow realization that maybe some nightmares never really leave.
