The second instalment of the Awarapan franchise, which gained popularity among Emraan Hashmi fans over twenty years ago, returned and how! Nitin Kakkar is the director of Awarapan 2, whereas Mohit Suri directed the first part, which was released in 2007.
Disha Patani played Zara, Shabana Azmi played Nafisa, and Suvinder Vicky played Jaideep in Awarapan 2. The cast also included Vijayant Kohli, Atul Kumar, Aniruddh Rawal, and Puran Gabbi.
Awarapan 2 X Review
Awarapan 2 has received favourable reviews from several viewers, with some seeing it as a decent follow-up to the first part
A user wrote, "Emraan Hashmi mania begins!! This is how sequels should be made. A proper continuation of a cult classic will always hit harder than a random movie using a franchise name for clout."
Another user said, "The first half is packed with intensity, emotion, action and a gripping atmosphere. The story keeps you hooked and builds the tension perfectly towards the interval."

Shabana Azmi commands attention as Nafisa, the gangster queen. She brings a strong screen presence to the role from the moment she appears. Disha Patani, who plays Shivam’s love interest, is good for the most part and fits well into the story.
