Awarapan 2 X review
One user wrote on X (formally Twitter), “#Awarapan2Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️½ C-E-R-T-I-F-I-E-D B-L-O-C-K-B-U-S-T-E-R. EMRAAN HASHMI IS BACK! 🔥 As #ShivamPandit, Emraan Hashmi delivers the kind of performance that reminds you why this character became so iconic. Intense, raw and deeply emotional – he is easily the BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT of #Awarapan2. The film’s take on #ChildTrafficking gives the story a strong emotional backbone, while the MUSIC and callbacks to #Awarapan bring back that nostalgia in a big way. When Shivam Pandit hits, Awarapan2 absolutely HITS! A MASSY, EMOTIONAL & NOSTALGIC ride. This may be the first 300 Cr grosser for Emraan Hashmi. #EmraanHashmi #DishaPatani.”
