Awarapan 2: A Nostalgic High, But Filmmaking Falls Short

Awarapan 2: A Nostalgic High, But Filmmaking Falls Short

A long time ago, back in 2007, a movie called Awarapan came out.

It starred an actor named Emraan Hashmi, and not many people went to see it in theaters.

But years later, people watched it on TV and the internet, and it became very popular.

It is also loved for its songs, like 'Toh phir aao'.

Now, 19 years later, a new movie called Awarapan 2 has arrived.

Emraan Hashmi plays the same sad gangster, who must protect someone in Bangkok.

The audience cheered loudly at the opening show, so the movie is expected to be a big hit.

But the reviewer thinks the movie leans too much on old memories and does not have enough new ideas.

The movie runs for 140 minutes, and some actors do a great job while others do not.

The ending leaves room for another sequel, but the reviewer hopes the next one will be better.
