About Awarapan 2

Awarapan 2 has, within 10 days of its theatrical release, reached 192.80 crore worldwide and needs 8 crores to touch the 200 crore milestone.

HT's review of the sequel to the 2007 film, Awarapan said, “Performance-wise, this is the quintessential Emraan Hashmi an entire generation grew up watching. He hasn’t aged a day since Awarapan released. He delivers exactly what is expected of him: brooding intensity, and the kind of effortless cool that made him a star in the first place… Awarapan 2 is a film from another time, and that is both its biggest strength and weakness. It brings back the brooding hero, tragic romance, liberal use of firearms and, most importantly, the music that made the original such a favorite. It doesn’t always keep its pace in check. But there is an old-school charm to its earnestness. For those who grew up in the 2000s with Emraan’s songs on repeat and romantic crime dramas as weekend staples, Awarapan 2 offers a generous dose of nostalgia without completely sacrificing the spectacle of a modern day sequel.”
