Awarapan

I was really impressed with this movie, it was very different to so many Bollywood films out there and even Hollywood films. The acting was good, the setting beautiful and the plot very original. It had a good message at the heart of it about faith and belief in god and what I particularly liked was, it avoided delving it in to stereotypical views of female Muslims. Nevertheless there are one or two boring scenes as in too long, albeit there are some very beautiful, simple and symbolic ones too. Thankfully there's no unnecessary sex scenes (although the topic is very mildly discussed in two scenes). Emraan Hashimi was very good as was the actress who plays Aliya (very beautiful girl). Yes there are one or two unbelievable scenes but that aside its definitely worth watching, there's action and romance although zero comedy so people looking for good time should avoid. Its a movie that leaves you thinking, and I especially love the second to last scene- stunning...The music is gorgeous and fits each scene in its played in as well as the whole movie overall perfectly....

Well guys..this is one good movie you are not suppose to miss.a movie which really has a soul in it.the movie begins with a girl(Reema played by Mrinalini Sharma) being kidnapped and is trapped in life where she is a slave to Mittal(played by Ashutosh Rana..who is brilliant),she is in love with someone else but now has to lead a life of a slave to Mittal.Mittal asks Shivam(Emraan Hashmi)to keep an eye on Reema as he doubts whether she is carrying on with some one else.Shivam also has a past where he was in love with Aaliya(Shreya Saran)but was unfortunate to have her love for his entire life.when he meets Reema he remembers Aaliya's words of freedom.Shivam who works for Mittal is being told to kill Reema when he comes to know that she loves someone else.But will Shivam really kill her or will give her freedom?if he has to give her freedom of love then he has to face many consequences.for further story watch the ride of life...Awarapan.and yeah..u will be surprised with Emraan Hashmi's acting as he proves that he can be brilliant too..so enjoy

I went to Watch the movie today. I use to hate Emraan Hashmi a lot because of his unprofessional attitude towards acting but after watching this movie I have changed my mind. The movie is excellent and Emraan Hashmi did very well. He acted maturely and professionally. He did the getup well according to character and also acted well according to it. Within this week I watched 3 movies in cinema and this was the best. The title song was very well fitted. Everyone did fantastic in movie specially Emraan Hashmi.

Over all the movie is great and I love that Indian movie is shown in Pakistan. Please do watch this movie.

Awarapan was different, nothing same like other bollywood romantic craps..

There are a few Indian movies which are worth watching like Kalyug, Gangster, Rang De Basanti and this one..

Rating:

Action: 7 out of 10 (John Woo style)

Story: 7 out of 10 (Awesome story with a nice Indian culture touch)

Direction: 8 out of 10 (Mohit Suri did it again)

Originality: 4 out of 10 (Scenes taken from A Bittersweet Life)

Casting: 8 out of 10 (Emraan Hashmi, Ashutosh Rana, Purab and the Paki girl were amazing).

I give it 7 out of 10 overall.

This is an excellent movie. It excels in all aspects of a movie. The direction is stylish and engaging, the acting (especially by Emraan Hashmi as the main lead) is superb, the music is excellent, and the story is realistic dealing with real life issues we have today from a gangsters point of view. Its cinematography was one of the best I've seen. It's very beautiful throughout the movie. Especially during Shivam's introduction and during the songs Toh Phir Aao and Tera Mera Rishta.

In terms of acting, Emraan was very intense and deeply embedded in his character. He played a depressed character with a dark past. He fulfills his boss's orders, but is also fearless and full of guts when provoked. He was truly Shivam in Awarapan. This has been Emraans finest acting till date. Shivam's role was meant for him. Ashutosh was amazing as his boss. His looks and attitude fit his role perfectly. The supporting cast, particularly Mrinalini Sharma, Shaad Randhawa, Purab Kohli and Shriya Saran fit their roles perfectly.

Music wise, the background score by Raju Singh was brilliant. It was soothing and touches your soul. The songs by Pritam and Roxen were great, particularly Mahiya, Toh Phir Aao and Tera Mera Rishta.

Awarapan is a movie that reaches out to you and resides in you. If you love gangster movies (or realistic action flicks) then this one is highly recommended for you. Nevertheless, anyone who enjoys watching good movies should watch Awarapan.

All in all Awarapan is a top class gangster movie. Highly recommended.
