The tweet read:“#Awarapan2 Decent sequel to the cult first part. #EmraanHashmi gives career best performance. #DishaPatani is wasted. Mid songs but good BGM. Memorable villain as well. Screenplay is fast and there is no boring moments. Action is done well. Good timepass gangster flick! 3.25/5.”

Another review mentioned:“#Awarapan2 Review- NOSTALGIA TAKES CENTRE STAGE IN AWARAPAN 2: A SEQUEL THAT HONOURS THE ORIGINAL. Rating – ️️️Awarapan 2 is a watchable sequel to the fan-favourite Awarapan. However, the film’s biggest strength is that it genuinely feels like a proper sequel rather than something made just to cash in. Writers Bilal Siddiqui and Vishesh Bhatt have connected the story well with the original, while introducing the angle of child trafficking, creating an emotional connect with the audience.”

A viewer shared: “Okay, this one actually surprised me. Emraan Hashmi as Shivam Pandit is still the biggest highlight… he still has that same vibe but with a more emotional side. The writing is good, and the movie has enough action, emotions, love, and redemption. The Bangkok car chase at the start was great, and the climax works really well. Disha Patani is good, Shabana Azmi is solid as always, and the supporting cast does its job.”

One review stated:“#Awarapan2 gets a lot better post-interval. More gripping, better twists, and a good finale. Writing still lags a bit in the second half, but where it does well, execution falters. Overall, it does a half job of doing justice to Awarapan’s soul, but the finale made it worthwhile.”
