The movie’s production looks good, but the neon lighting reminds me of John Wick. And I expect a banger album and some kiss scenes; that’s it.
Like it’s an Emraan Hashmi movie, obviously kissing scenes are mandatory.. and they have cast the best actress for that disha!!
As much as I remember, there wasn’t a kissing scene in Awarapan; it had a good spiritual side.
Pj reacting to the teaser saying he hadn’t watched Awarapan 1 yet, disappointed bhai…It was the peak Emraan Hashmi movie, and yeah, it was not that serial kisser type movie
