New Delhi . August 2026 is going to be very special for the viewers of Hindi and Pan India cinema. This month, two big films ‘Toxic’ and ‘Awarapan 2’ are going to be released, about which there has been discussion for a long time. Both the films have their own separate fan following and are being discussed continuously on social media and among film lovers. Meanwhile, a ranking revealed regarding the curiosity of the audience has indicated which film is being seen with more excitement before its release.

According to the list of most anticipated films of online film database IMDb, superstar Yash’s film ‘Toxic’ currently remains at the first position among the most anticipated films. This list is prepared on the basis of real time visits to the movies page and audience interest. Emraan Hashmi’s ‘Awarapan 2’ is included in the top ten films in this list and is present at the fifth position. It is clear that there is enthusiasm among the audience about both the films, but at the moment ‘Toxic’ seems to be ahead.

‘Toxic’ is a pan India action crime thriller film starring Yash in the lead role. Artists like Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Huma Qureshi, Tara Sutaria and Rukmini Vasant will also be seen in important roles in the film. This film will be released in theaters on 26th August. Its release has been postponed several times, due to which the curiosity of the audience has increased further. After a long wait, the film is now ready to hit the big screen.

On the other hand, Emraan Hashmi’s ‘Awarapan 2’ will hit the theaters on August 14. This film is directed by Nitin Kakkar. Along with Emraan Hashmi, actors like Shabana Azmi, Disha Patani, Salil Acharya, Vijayant Kohli and Atul Kumar will be seen in the film. This film is the sequel to ‘Awarapan’ released in 2007, which did not achieve the expected success at the box office initially, but over time it has established itself as a cult film among the audience.

The first ‘Awarapan’ remains popular among the audience even after years due to its emotional story, music and Emraan Hashmi’s acting. This is the reason why its second part was awaited for a long time. From the sequel of the film, the audience is expected to see a new chapter of the story and a glimpse of the old characters.

Film experts believe that the genre and audience of both the films are different. While ‘Toxic’ is coming with big-scale action and pan India appeal, ‘Awarapan 2’ is going to be an emotional and romantic thriller attracting audiences who connect with the original film. In such a situation, the month of August is likely to be very busy for theaters and it will be interesting to see which film lives up to the expectations of the audience at the box office after its release.
