Star Cast: Emraan Hashmi, Disha Patani, Shabana Azmi Director: Nitin Kakkar Awarapan 2 Movie Review Synopsis: AWARAPAN 2 is the story of a man on a mission. Nineteen years have passed since the events of the first part. Shivam Pandit (Emraan Hashmi) has survived and continues to mourn the untimely demise of Aaliyah Hamid (Shriya Saran). He forms a bond with an abandoned child, whom he names Aaliyah (Myrah Shivan). When the girl finds herself in trouble, Shivam brings back his old, brave and fearless avatar. He travels to Bangkok and takes on members of a dangerous gang to save Aaliyah. Amid the chaos, he finds solace in Zara (Disha Patani). What happens next forms the rest of the film. Awarapan 2 Movie Story Review: Vishesh Bhatt's story carries the essence of the first part. Bilal Siddiqi and Vishesh Bhatt's screenplay is engaging and peppered with engaging and emotional moments. However, the writing could have been tighter and less predictable. Bilal Siddiqi and Vishesh Bhatt's dialogues (additional dialogues by Sanjay Masoom) are in sync with the zone of the film. Nitin Kakkar's direction is mass appealing. He nicely plays on the nostalgia factor and moreover, presents the protagonist in an extremely likeable avatar. Hence, one roots for Shivam from start to finish. The antagonist's track and his equation with his siblings is another riveting track that will be lapped up by the audience. There's abundance of action which will find patronage from the mass audience and single screen patrons. Certain scenes will lead to lots of claps and whistles. On the flipside, despite the best efforts, the film falls short of the greatness of AWARAPAN [2007], which has become a cult classic. The romantic track between Shivam and Zara doesn't work as intended. A few twists are predictable and one can guess from a mile away. A few scenes are silly like the villain allowing the protagonist to survive and not killing. It makes no sense considering that he's shown to be quite ruthless. Lastly, the final scene will leave the audience divided. Awarapan 2 Movie Review Performances: Emraan Hashmi is presented in a mass appealing avatar and will be loved. There's been a huge demand to see him in such a character but he had not done a role of this kind in a long time. Hence, masses and his fans will be in for a treat. Disha Patani looks stunning and gives a first-rate performance. Shabana Azmi (Nafisa Nawaz) is lovely and one wishes she had more screen time. Puran Gabbi (Zorawar) is a great find and is a big surprise. Aniruddh Rawal (Sikandar) is another actor that will be appreciated. Suvinder Vicky (Jaideep), Vijayant Kohli (Mehmood) and Atul Kumar (Samarth) lend able support. Myrah Shivan delivers a confident performance. Shriya Saran and Shaad Randhawa's cameos are fair. Awarapan 2 movie music and other technical aspects: The music is decent and again, no match to the soundtrack of the original. 'Tera Mera Rishta Continues' and 'Toh Phir Aao' are the best of the lot followed by 'Yeh Awarapan' and 'Ve Junoon'. 'Tumhare Liye', 'Piya Ghar Aaya' and 'Laado' fail to entice. Raju Singh's background score is much better. Vishnu Rao's cinematography is stunning. The locales of Rajasthan and Bangkok are spectacularly shot. Aejaz Gulab and Kawee Sirikhanaerut's action is a bit gory. Shiraz Siddique and Maxima Basu's costumes are stylish while Sunayana Sabherwal and Tarpan Shrivastavaa's production design is classy. Devendra Murdeshwar's editing is sharp and could have been better in beginning of the second half. Awarapan 2 Movie Review Conclusion: On the whole, AWARAPAN 2 works as a mass-appealing action entertainer powered by Emraan Hashmis likeable performance, nostalgia, emotion and whistle-worthy moments. At the box office, the film is all set for a smashing opening and a strong weekend, and this will prove to be one of the biggest hits of the year.

24 mining alerts in J&K in 5 years, just one confirmed illegal: Centre
Jammu and Kashmir recorded 24 alerts under the Mining Surveillance System (MSS) over five years, but only one was confirmed as unauthorised mining after field verification, the Lok Sabha was told Wednesday. The data, presented by the Ministry of Mines, covers 2021-22 to 2025-26. Pulwama accounted for the lone confirmed case in J&K as detected by the UT government. J&K recorded four MSS triggers in 2021-22, none in 2022-23, seven in 2023-24 and 13 in 2024-25. No trigger was recorded in 2025-26. The figures show that 23 of the 24 alerts did not result in a confirmed case after field verification. Across India, the MSS generated 679 triggers during the five-year period. State governments confirmed 42 cases of unauthorised mining after verification. Goa recorded the highest number of confirmed cases at 17, followed by Gujarat with seven and Madhya Pradesh with six. Andhra Pradesh recorded four, Tamil Nadu three and Karnataka two. Maharashtra and Rajasthan recorded one each. The Ministry described the MSS as a supplementary mechanism for detecting suspected unauthorised mining. Alerts are sent to concerned state governments for field verification by district-level officials. Under Section 23C of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957, state governments are empowered to frame rules to prevent illegal mining, transportation and storage of minerals and take enforcement action. The Centre said details of penalties imposed, minerals recovered and compensation realised in cases arising from MSS triggers are maintained by respective state governments. It, therefore, did not provide consolidated state-wise figures on penalties or recoveries. The Ministry also said enforcement against illegal mining falls within the purview of State Governments, which are responsible for taking action after unauthorised mining is established through field verification.

Gomti Aggarwal, a parent from Hyderabad, whose son was admitted to Civil Engineering, also appreciated the arrangements. We were guided properly throughout the process.

'Awarapan 2' leads 'Batwara 1947' by
Highlights Awarapan 2 has generated around 270,000 in gross advance bookings Batwara 1947 has recorded around 67,500 in day-one pre-sales Emraan Hashmis sequel has sold more than 100,000 tickets ahead of the Independence Day clash Emraan Hashmis Awarapan 2 is pulling away from Sunny Deols Batwara 1947 before the two films face off at the box office, with the sequel currently holding a fourfold lead in advance bookings. The latest figures show Awarapan 2 at around 270,000 in gross pre-sales, compared with approximately 67,500 for Batwara 1947 . The numbers give the sequel a strong early advantage ahead of the Independence Day weekend. More than 100,000 tickets already sold Awarapan 2 has sold approximately 102,470 tickets across 5,934 shows, with its potential gross rising to around 450,000 when blocked seats are included. Maharashtra is currently its biggest market, contributing roughly 94,000 to the gross bookings. Delhi follows at about 92,000, while Uttar Pradesh has recorded around 51,000. Gujarat stands at approximately 37,000 and West Bengal at 30,000. The early numbers suggest that the 2007 original's long-running popularity is translating into interest for the sequel. Awarapan developed a strong following over the years, giving the new film a built-in nostalgia factor ahead of its release. Directed by Nitin Kakkar, Awarapan 2 stars Emraan Hashmi, Disha Patani and Shabana Azmi. Batwara 1947 has a tougher opening battle Batwara 1947 has sold 29,261 tickets across 5,672 shows, generating around 67,500 in day-one advance bookings. Its potential gross, including blocked seats, currently stands at approximately 204,000. Delhi is leading the film's bookings at around 49,000, followed by Maharashtra at 36,000.

The Rajkumar Santoshi-directed film stars Sunny Deol, Preity Zinta, Shabana Azmi, Ali Fazal and Karan Deol. Set against the backdrop of Partition, it is backed by Aamir Khan Productions. The Independence Day clash is already taking shape The gap between the two releases is significant before either film reaches cinemas. Awarapan 2 has both a substantially higher ticket count and gross advance collection, while Batwara 1947 is currently relying on its Independence Day release and the appeal of its star cast and subject. The early numbers do not determine the final box-office result, but they show where audience interest is leaning before the first shows begin. Awarapan 2 is currently winning the pre-release race, with nostalgia giving Hashmis sequel a notable advantage.

Sabarmati-Jammu Tawi Express extended up to Katra with halt at Udhampur
The Railway Board has approved the extension of the Sabarmati-Jammu Tawi Express up to Katra with a halt at Udhampur Railway Station for enhancing passenger convenience and promoting religious tourism.

Srinagars Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium likely to host Irani Cup 2026: Report
Srinagar, Aug 12: Srinagars Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium is likely to host the Irani Cup 2026 match between 2025-26 Ranji Trophy winners Jammu and Kashmir and the Rest of India from October 1 to 5. A media report quoted by News18 said the Sher-i-Kashmir Stadium in Srinagar will host the Irani Cup, making it the biggest cricket match to be held in Kashmir since the ODI between India and Australia on September 9, 1986. The report stated that the Irani Cup is played between the winners of the previous edition of the Ranji Trophy and the Rest of India side. Since Jammu and Kashmir won the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy, they will take on the Rest of India in the upcoming 2026 edition. In the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy final, J&K faced Karnataka at the KSCA Hubli Cricket Ground in Hubli and secured victory by virtue of their first-innings lead. For J&K, Auqib Nabi Dar will once again be a key player in the Irani Cup. The 29-year-old fast bowler from Baramulla picked up 60 wickets in the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy to finish as the leading wicket-taker. He also registered impressive figures of 5/54 in 23 overs in the first innings of the final against Karnataka. Apart from Auqib, who is currently part of Indias Test squad for the two-match series against Sri Lanka, Yudhvir Singh Charak will be another key fast bowler for J&K. Charak, who represents Rajasthan Royals in the IPL, has also impressed with his wicket-taking abilities. However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is yet to officially confirm the venue for the Irani Cup 2026 as well as announce the Rest of India squad. The Rest of India have won a total of 30 Irani Cup titles so far, followed by Mumbai with 15 titles. After taking part in the Irani Cup, J&K will begin their Ranji Trophy title defence on October 11 against Madhya Pradesh. The defending champions are part of Elite Group A in the 2026-27 Ranji Trophy, along with Madhya Pradesh, Vidarbha, Baroda, Puducherry, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and Goa.

J&K elementary edu allocation falls 38% to Rs 633 cr
Srinagar, Aug 10: The Centre has sharply reduced its allocation for elementary education in Jammu & Kashmir under the Samagra Shiksha scheme, with the provision falling to Rs 633.53 crore for 2026-27. The allocation represents a decline of nearly 38 per cent from Rs 1,017.75 crore sanctioned for2025-26.It is also significantly lower than the Rs 1,180.11 crore allocated in 2024-25 and Rs 1,234.55 crore in 2023-24. The figures were placed before the Lok Sabha by Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi in response to a starred question concerning the allocation and utilisation of funds for primary education. For 2026-27, J&K's allocation is considerably lower than that of several major states. Maharashtra has been allocated Rs 1,744.65 crore, while Uttar Pradesh has received Rs 8,898.96 crore. Bihar has been allocated Rs 5,970.76 crore and Rajasthan Rs 3,081.48 crore. The Centre said allocations under Samagra Shiksha depend on approved annual plans, expenditure levels and compliance with financial requirements. It also pointed to unspent balances from previous yearswhiledetermining the release of subsequent funds. According to the government, some states and Union Territories are unable to receive all instalments because of slower spending. Further releases are linked to requirements such as audited accounts, utilisation certificates, updated expenditure details and the release of the corresponding state share. The Ministry also highlighted the PRABANDH system, which tracks the implementation and expenditure of Samagra Shiksha programmes. Its dashboard records monthly physical and financial progress, while the Ministry conducts regular reviews with states and UTs. At the national level, spending on infrastructure under the scheme increased from Rs 1,962.77 crore in 2024-25 to Rs 2,871.95 crore in 2025-26. Expenditure on teacher salaries, however, stood at Rs 17,234.40 crore and Rs 13,508.69 crore during the respective years. Spending on free textbooks declined from Rs 2,551.33 crore in 2024-25 to Rs 2,353.23 crore in 2025-26. Expenditure on free uniforms increased marginally from Rs 3,845.93 crore to Rs 3,871.02 crore. The government also informed Parliament that Education Cess collections increased from Rs 63,252.86 crore in 2024-25 to Rs 65,890.50 crore in 2025-26. It said the cess is outside the divisible pool of taxes and is therefore not shared between the Centre and states under Article 270 of the Constitution. Education-related proceeds are routed through the Prarambhik Shiksha Kosh and the Madhyamik and Uchchtar Shiksha Kosh. Utilisation from the Prarambhik Shiksha Kosh rose from Rs 40,900 crore in 2024-25 to Rs 48,049.09 crore in 2025-26. Utilisation from the Madhyamik and Uchchtar Shiksha Kosh stood at Rs 11,162.60 crore and Rs 10,314.31 crore respectively during the two years.I can also make this more newspaper-style with a sharper lead and stronger J&K angle.
