Puran Gabbi shines as the ultra-vicious baddie Zorawar, ably supported by JD (Suvinder Vicky) and Vijayant Kohli.
The film also features a formidable rival in Shabana Azmi's Nafisa, an Interpol officer played by Atul Kumar, and Zorawar's siblings Zara (Disha Patani) and Sikandar (Aniruddh Rawal). This blend of fresh and experienced talent gives the Bangkok-set caper an initial kick, making the first half a smooth and engaging watch.
The city of Bangkok itself becomes a character, beautifully utilized to give a real sense of its atmosphere, immersing the audience deeper into Shivam's world. This sequel manages to keep the essence of what made the original "Awarapan" resonate with audiences, with Emraan Hashmi owning the role of the tormented but lethal hero.
