About Awarapan 2 And Batwara 1947
In Awarapan 2, directed by Nitin Kakkar, a surviving Shivam Pandit (Emraan Hashmi) lives a quiet, grieving life visiting his lost love’s grave. When an Interpol officer enlists his help to rescue children from a Bangkok trafficking ring, including a young girl named after his past love, Shivam infiltrates a dangerous mafia family, confronting old ghosts, new romance, and a final path to redemption.
On the other hand, in Batwara 1947, a Muslim refugee family led by Sikandar Mirza (Sunny Deol) flees India during the turbulent 1947 Partition and settles in a newly allotted home in Lahore, Pakistan. To their shock, they discover an elderly Hindu woman (Shabana Azmi) quietly living upstairs who refuses to leave her ancestral home. As the family overcomes their initial anger and protects her from local extremists, they form a deep, loving bond that proves humanity and love are stronger than religious division.
