Awarapan

I have watched the Film.According to me this one of Emraan's best.The Bhatts never run out of stories.To me Murder was disappointing ,Zeher,Kalyug and Gangster were nice and but this is awesome.Frankly speaking I would say this is Emraan's best acting till date as Shivam.Shriya Saran does not have a big role but gives us a delightful performance as Aaliya. Hong Kong seemed to be the right spot for shooting.Ashutosh Rana(Malik) executes himself brilliantly. Both Mohit(director) and Emraan have kept on improving since their debut.The action,thrill,Shivam's agony, regret and revenge is the USP of the film. The music has been extraordinary with songs like Toh Phir Aao and Tera Mera Rishta which add sparks to the film.But at the end of the day the film belongs to none other than Emraan Hashmi.He shows all the signs of a proficient actor.The film never dips and their a great enthusiasm throughout.Undoubtedly it is one of the biggest hits of the year.Hats off to the whole team of Awarapan.

No matter how much years have passed and how many times you have watched this movie it still remains has a cult classic.This is the reason of the Big fan following of Emraan Hashmi.

Awarapan comes from the stables of ace movie mavericks, Mukesh Bhatt and Mahesh Bhatt, famous for crafting Bollywood's biggest musical hits, Zeher, Woh Lamhe and Gangster.

Shot in Hong Kong, Bangkok and Pakistan, Awarapan is an intense and compelling drama about love, passion and betrayal with a chart-busting soundtrack that features for the first time an array of top-notch music artistes from Pakistan.

Awarapan tracks the journey of Shivam (Emraan Hashmi), a godless heartbroken boy who has never known or felt love. In order to escape the ghosts of his tragic past, Shivam dedicates himself to serve his gangster boss in Hong Kong with unflinching correctness and loyalty. His boss trusts him enough to ask him to keep an eye on his alluring girlfriend, Reema (Mrinalini Sharma) whom he has kept away from the eyes of his adversaries.

Shivam's heart melts on seeing her innocence and vulnerability, as he is able to draw parallels with his girlfriend from the past (Shreya Saran). The atheist turns into a believer and begins smiling and responding to life. Reema gives Shivam reason to believe that she likes him. Existence begins to blush for Shivam but only till the reality dawns on him that Reema has a secret lover tucked away and was planning to elope with him. Her game was merely a smoke- screen created to gain freedom.

A shattered Shivam is in a dilemma on realizing that he has been heartlessly used - does he inform his boss or does he earn his wrath by helping his unrequited love to achieve the freedom she yearns for? If anything, 'Awarapan' showcases the acting talent of Emraan Hashmi. The actor steps out of his usual chocolate boy image and plays a very serious and intense role with full conviction. He may not be the deadliest looker around, but he sure does know the art of restraining and underplaying his characters. And his performance in 'Awarapan' proves that he is one of the under-rated talents in Bollywood.

Mrinalini Sharma overacts in certain scenes, but manages to play her part fairly well on the whole. Shriya Saran's acting looks very natural. She looks very comfortable playing the brief role she has in the film. Ashutosh Rana is another actor who delivers a superb performance.

Mohit Suri succeeds to a great extent in translating an interesting story on celluloid. There are many scenes and sequences (like confrontation between Emraan and Aaliya's father, or Emraan's final sequence with Ashutosh Rana) that are intelligently conceived. The cinematography is visually appealing and the music (by Pritam) is also good.

On the whole, 'Awarapan' is worth watching once.

Watched the first day first show of it. I went to watch this movie because of Mohit Suri who I think is emerging as one of the very fine directors. Loved his Kalyug and woh lamhe and zehar were also fine. Also the slick promos and haunting music made me go to see it. Really loved it. due credit should be given to Mohit Suri for presenting such a fine heart-touching story. Loved everything from music, performances, cinematography, sound and overall presentation. Music is I believe the finest work of PRITAM yet. This soundtrack shows his extreme potential. Biggest Surprise package in the movie is Emraan Hashmi who was never known for his acting histrionics but awarapan should change that. He portrays the intensity of the depth of the character with utmost ease but credit for this should also be given to Mohit Suri. Even the rest of the cast is has done very well. Technically the film is of international standards. All in all a must see!

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.
