Back to Nathan Road as Shivam and Reema spend some time together as she explains her life situation. This sequence was shot at the TST end. The first shot you can see the Imperial Hotel and (part of) the Sheraton Hotel (far right) in the background, but by the time of the second image, they have moved up to the Kowloon Mosque just past the junction with Haiphong Road.

Awarapan - Emraan Hashmi (2007) - Lan Kwai Fong, Central
Malik's neglected son, Ronnie (Salil Acharya), catches up with Shivam at Lan Kwai Fong and the two get into a bit of a tussle. This was filmed in Lan Kwai Fong with the former, familiar sign for the 1997 bar above their heads. This place eventually closed in 2016. I never went there (not much of a LKF kind of person) but according to Openrice, it was on the ground floor of the Cosmos Building at 9-11 Lan Kwai Fong.

Awarapan - Emraan Hashmi (2007) - Nathan Road, Mongkok
Moving into the night (these songs go on for a long time) and the group of friends are still dancing away on top of an open top bus as it travels up Nathan Road. This is just past the junction with Dundas Street so at the back you can see the modern wide windows of Ko's House and on the left is Hang Lung Mansion, both located either side of the junction. On the right, the building with the clock is the Righteous Centre at 585 Nathan Road.

Awarapan - Emraan Hashmi (2007) - Hong Kong Park, Central
The musical number moves to Hong Kong Park as Reema is obviously in a happy mood because she is with all her good buddies. Shivam watches them from a discrete distance. Unfortunately I don't speak Hindi, so I can't say what the song is about (feel free to comment below if you do).
