Awarpon 2 movie review: Emraan Hashmi’s faded sequel doesn’t rise from the riches of its past
Even if the action sequences, lighting, and camerawork have improved multifold from 2007, the sequel struggles to hold itself together as it imagines the world of ‘Awarapan’ purely as a generic genre piece, when its soul lies elsewhereIn contrast, the sequel overlooks what made Shivam compelling in the first place. His supposed death at the end of the first part while uniting two lovers carried a touch of the divine. It became an epochal sacrifice, washing away the sins of his past and uniting him with his beloved in paradise. However, Shivam didn’t die, as the sequel tells us. Decades after the fatal day, he now lives a silent life in the Indian countryside, still bearing the pain of getting separated from Aaliyah (Shriya Saran) as he visits her grave and questions the meaning of his existence. Strangely, he remains stuck in the reflection of his own image. The evolution of Shivam’s state of mind in the glorious climax of Awarapan is swiftly ignored. Rather, he becomes his own archetype.
There’s more focus on his exteriors. His revival is explained in passing without ever delving into what fundamentally changed in his personality, apart from his slick biceps. So, Shivam remains chained to the person he was in the first part, a version that refused to fade away from the hearts of anyone who saw the film and which also prompted the making of a sequel. As a result, there’s more pandering here than movement. Shivam is no longer a person, but a set piece.
What it forgets to inherit from both, however, is the monumentality of emotions that Shivam and Sun-woo carry within. So, even if the action sequences have improved multifold, the lighting has become better equipped at capturing contrast, and the camera offers visuals to marvel over, the film struggles to hold itself together as it imagines the world of Awarapan purely as a generic genre piece, when its soul lies elsewhere. Mohit Suri’s absence is strongly felt when ‘To Phir Aao’ is heard without any powerful sequence to complement its evocative charm. On the other hand, ‘Tere Mera Rishta Purana’ still creates a soul-stirring effect when it plays at a pivotal juncture, sealing a pre-climactic moment with Emraan’s assured presence.
The actor’s face brings back the specificity of Shivam’s pain even after all these years. He carried the weight of Awarapan’s diverse themes with a rare fluidity. He does the same here, and there’s a constant feeling of not being able to see him go beyond due to the limitations in the screenplay, which renders even Shabana Azmi into an awkward mould, made to blurt Urdu dialogues as she wears a witch-like costume. She deserved better, and so did Emraan, whose bad-boy romance films in the late 2000s generated a separate fan base. Awarapan was among the few where his character had an instant likeability factor. His image of a “serial-kisser” gave way to a charming, sensitive core. He is as sincere nineteen years later as Awarapan 2 makes him captive to conventions rather than liberating him with subversions. Now, who’s going to rescue the rescuer?
