New Delhi: After a successful season 1, ‘Jamtara: Sabka Number Ayega’ is back again. The web series revolves around phishing calls and cybercrime in India, where Jamtara is the hub for it. ‘Jamtara 2’ is streaming on Netflix from September 23 onwards and is directed by National Award winner Soumendra Padhi.
The show follows a group of small-town young men, led by cousins Sunny and Rocky, running a phishing operation while a corrupt politician and a cop are also involved in the game. The story takes off from where it was left in the first season. Sunny, who narrowly escaped, can be seen teaching phishing to young school children of Jamtara. In the second season, the scams are bigger as it is not just about credit or debit cards, now, exam admit cards, dating apps and lotteries, everything is a scam in Jamtara.
While people loved season 2 of the show, some found the first season to be better in terms of the thrill it provided.

A Twitter user shared a dialogue from the show, which also resembles a quote by PM Modi.
There’s a dialogue in Jamtara season 2, one scamster says, “Hum to fakeer log hain, jhola uthayege chal denge”. That’s it that’s the tweet

Jamtara season one was startling in its innovativeness. Who would think the impoverished youth of Jharkhand could scam the world. But they did and they still do.
