The Story in Brief
The trailer for Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2 was released on August 6, nearly 19 years after the original film. Hashmi returns as Shivam Pandit, while Disha Patani, Shabana Azmi and Puran Gabbi join the cast. The trailer features revenge, action and music but reveals little about the plot, Hindustan Times reports.
The CBFC granted the film a U/A 16+ certificate on August 5 after cuts totalling about four minutes and replacements of around 20 seconds. The final runtime is 2 hours, 20 minutes and 20 seconds. Cinema Express reports that actor Wamiqa Gabbi praised her brother Puran’s casting as antagonist Zorawar, saying he secured the role through his own audition. The film releases in cinemas on August 14.
The Indian Opinion
The loudest claims will likely frame Awarapan 2 either as a guaranteed nostalgic hit or as another mystery-filled action sequel with nothing new to offer. Neither view is settled by a trailer. Its returning lead, established music team and long gap create interest, but the film still has to justify Shivam Pandit’s return. The practical test is the August 14 audience response, especially whether the sequel’s story matches its two-hour, 20-minute runtime.
