The self-proclaimed godman, Baba Nirala (Bobby Deol), has built his empire by trapping people in a web of blind devotion. However, his arrogance and hunger for power begin to crumble as Pammi Pahalwan (Aaditi Pohankar) wages a relentless battle for justice. In Aashram 3 Part 2, the story reaches its climax with unexpected twists, betrayals, and a shocking revelation that shakes the very foundation of Baba’s rule. But was the two-year wait for this new season worth it? Let’s find out.

The Story Unfolds

The story picks up from where the first part of Season 3 left off. Pammi, determined to expose Baba Nirala’s crimes, reaches the court to fight her case. However, Baba cunningly declares himself impotent, escaping legal consequences, while Pammi is falsely imprisoned. Realizing that direct confrontation won’t work, Pammi devises a new strategy—she sets her sights on Baba’s closest ally, Bhopa Swami (Chandan Roy Sanyal).

In a shocking turn of events, Pammi manipulates Bhopa into falling for her, leading to growing tensions between him and Baba Nirala. The ultimate betrayal unfolds when Baba himself catches Bhopa and Pammi in a compromising situation. Enraged, Baba orders Bhopa’s “purification,” a decision that accelerates his downfall.

The biggest revelation comes in Episode 4 when Sub-Inspector Ujagar Singh (Darshan Kumar) uncovers Baba Nirala’s dark past. The truth behind his rise to power, his involvement in the disappearance of the real Mansukh Baba, and the sinister ties between him and Bhopa come to light. The story takes an intense turn as Pammi and Bhopa, once adversaries, unite for revenge, leading to a dramatic climax where Baba’s own arrogance becomes his undoing.

Performances & Direction

Director Prakash Jha once again delivers a gripping narrative, packed with suspense and drama. The season consists of five episodes, each filled with unexpected twists. However, some scenes—especially those between Bhopa and Pammi—feel slightly dragged in the initial episodes. Had the story progressed more directly to the main conflict, it could have been even more impactful. That said, the direction remains commendable.

Bobby Deol masterfully portrays Baba Nirala, showcasing his character’s cunning and eventual downfall with intensity. Aaditi Pohankar shines in her role as Pammi, carrying the emotional weight of revenge-driven rage. Chandan Roy Sanyal’s Bhopa Swami gets more depth this season, making his character arc even more intriguing. Darshan Kumar as Sub-Inspector Ujagar Singh plays a crucial role in unraveling the truth, while Tridha Choudhary (Babita) and Parineeta Seth (Sadhvi Mata) deliver commendable performances.

Final Verdict

With its mix of drama, suspense, and power struggles, Aashram 3 Part 2 delivers an engaging watch. While a few dragged-out sequences could have been trimmed, the gripping climax and power-packed performances make up for it. If you’ve been following the series, this final installment is worth a watch.
