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....

A bittersweet life has come to Bollywood in a better-sweet way.Congratulations ,Vishesh Films,you guys have got a winner this time..The team comprises of one of the sharpest minds in Hindi Cinema in the form of Mahesh Bhatt,a 20-something fantastic director(with 2 hits in his kitty) ,a 20-sumthing actor(who despite giving many hits is still in the B-league),fantabulous music from across the border.After accumulation of all these positive factors, WHAT YOU GET IS a magnificent AWARAPAN ..

A movie that talks about gangsters,human-trafficking,betrayal,love,freedom,God and Atheism. You cant ask for more in those 12 damn reels...The best part of the film is the spiritual vision of the director..just fabulous..Haven't seen such thing in the commercial film segment of Indian cinema.

Emraan Hashmi in his new ChuckNorris-eque look is stunning...This performance will take him in the A+ league of actors..He has proved that his acting is just not about lips..Just damn good..A star is born?? No ,a star's acting abilities have finally stunned the world in Awarapan.

Music is beautiful and the song placements are a masterstroke..

In short,calling it a classic will be blasphemous but calling it a spectacular cinema&bollywood at its best, is no sin... WONDERFUL PAISA WASOOL MOVIE..WATCH IT

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.

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!

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.
