Awarapan 2 movie review
India TV gave Awarapan 2 a rating of 3.5 out of 5 stars in its review. An excerpt from the review read, "Awarapan 2 knows what it is. It is a sequel made for people who never really let go of the original. The film brings back the loneliness, the music and the wounded lover that made Shivam Pandit such an unforgettable character. But it also gives him a new purpose. Emraan Hashmi owns the film. There is a familiarity to his performance, but that is not necessarily a bad thing."
It further added, "In fact, that familiarity is precisely what fans have come for. The film is not perfect. It has its predictable stretches and could have done more with some of its supporting characters. But when Toh Phir Aao starts playing and Shivam Pandit appears on screen, you realise why this character still works."
