WION's review of Awarapan 2
As per WION's Nikita Toppo, "Awarapan 2 is a fairly decent sequel. In fact, the makers have made a sincere attempt to continue a story that was once believed to have already reached its ending. Its biggest success is understanding that Shivam Pandit cannot simply be brought back for nostalgia. He needs another story, another purpose, and another sacrifice, and Hashmi provides all three with a performance."

Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
"But it's the screenplay of the film that did not meet expectations, as too many developments arrive abruptly, and Awarapan 2 does not quite possess the raw emotional intimacy of the first film. But perhaps that is the fair way to look at it because the sequel gives him another chapter. It is bigger, louder, and more action-driven, but it still carries the same old wound. Therefore, if you loved Shivam Pandit in 2007, Hashmi's return alone makes this worth a theatrical watch, but just don't walk in expecting the sequel to bring back the magic of the original."
