Netizens react to no kissing scene in Emraan Hashmi’s Awarapan 2

Emraan Hashmi’s return as Shivam Pandit in Awarapan 2 has sparked plenty of nostalgia among fans, particularly those who remember the actor’s iconic romantic image from the early years of his career. While the film has been receiving a positive response from audiences and has performed strongly at the box office, one detail has caught the attention of social media users: there is not a single kissing scene featuring Emraan in the sequel. Emraan Hashmi sheds his ‘serial kisser’ image For years, Emraan was popularly referred to as Bollywood’s “serial kisser” because of the numerous intimate scenes in films such as Murder, Zeher and Jannat. His on-screen romantic image became so closely associated with his identity that fans naturally expected Awarapan 2 to include at least one such moment, especially given the actor’s pairing with Disha Patani.

Siddharth Jadhav on being confined to comedy roles in Bollywood: If the demand from me is to do that, I will…

Siddharth Jadhav is a popular actor in the Marathi film industry and has been working for over two decades, but in Hindi films, he is either seen in a cop role or used for comedic relief, and sometimes, even a mix of the two. With his recent outing in the web series Matka King, Siddharth Jadhav got to break out of that image as he played an intense dramatic role alongside actor Vijay Varma. Siddharth Jadhav (Photo: Instagram) Having worked in the industry for decades, he has had some diverse performances to his credit across genres, including Me Shivajiraje Bhosale Boltoy (2009), Lalbaug Parel: Zali Mumbai Sonyachi (2010), Dhurala (2020). But in Hindi films that he has done, which include the Golmaal franchise, Simmba (2018), Radhe (2021), Cirkus (2022) and more, he has mostly been seen in only comic avatars. Ask him if he feels confined to a certain comedic space in Bollywood, without much room to explore, and he says, “Main situation ko aise nahi dekhta. Mujhe lagta hai jo cheez mujhe jahaan deni …

₹250 crore haul in south, beating Prabhas in Telugu states: How Dhurandhar 2 became Bollywood’s 1st modern pan-India hit

₹250 crore haul in south, beating Prabhas in Telugu states: How Dhurandhar 2 became Bollywood’s 1st modern pan-India hit

It was Baahubali that popularised the term pan-India in Indian cinematic parlance, after it performed admirably in the Hindi belt as well. In the decade since, several Telugu and Kannada films, from Kantara and KGF to RRR and Kalki 2898 AD, have emulated the feat and been dubbed pan-India hits. But Bollywood has largely been unable to emulate the feat. The collections of Hindi films in the south have remained far below those of South films in the north. A few, like Animal and Jawan, threatened to change that but stopped just short. It took a Dhurandhar to change all that. Dhurandhar 2: Ranveer Singh’s still from Aditya Dhar’s film. Dhurandhar 2’s pan-India success Aditya Dhar’s Dhurandhar was a nationwide success, earning over ₹800 crore net in India alone. Naturally, the sequel to the Ranveer Singh-starrer was expected to take the hype even further. And Dhurandhar: The Revenge did not disappoint. The spy thriller earned a staggering ₹1139 crore net in India. To the layman, it may seem the film’s collection is driven by the …
