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.

I apologise if the translation is in correct. This film seemed very promising as I watched the trailers; I found myself one evening watching this movie and it struck a cord with me; something a Bollywood has never done.Shivan is a man haunted by the death of his lover, he uses his anger and pain to hurt people who have upset his boss, Malik. Soon, Shivan realises the error of his ways and meets a beautiful girl called Reema who reminds him of his deceased lover; and so he begins his path on redemption.The film brings the sex trade issue into light very well; and shows the fantastic scenery of India and Hong Kong. Being a fan of Shahrukh Khan when it comes to Bollywood; Emran proves he can do the serious stuff just as well.The film is a remake of the Korean movie Bittersweet life; being a fan of the far east, I haven't watched this particular movie; so this film may appear to be good. Hopefully Bollywood has done justice for the Korean film industry.The only thing that may need a little work is the action scenes, the fights seem at times messy but Emran makes up for it with his dialogue; a good movie to view when you've broken up with someone, the songs "Toh Phir Aao" and "Tera Mera Rishta" is icing to the cake, great lyrics and great music.Toh Phir Aao, is a definite favourite of mine.

Mukesh Bhatt's production house delivers great music and hard-hitting plots. Their latest film Awarapan is no different. A friend of mine told me that it is a lot inspired by 2005 Korean film A Bittersweet Life but I don't know because I don't watch Korean films. The film was only watchable because of Emraan's terrific acting and had a good setting in Hong Kong but wasn't entertaining. Directed by Mohit Suri who also made Zehar, Kalyug and Woh Lamhe but seems to be losing his touch because Zehar & Kalyug were terrific films and Woh Lamhe was really disappointing. The best songs are Toh Phir Aao - Lounge mix, Tera Mera Rishta - Remix and Mahiya. The story was good about Shivam (Emraan Hashmi) who is trying to escape from his tragic past and memories of his lost love (Sriya Saran), Shivam lands up in Hong Kong to work for his gangster boss Malik (Ashutosh Rana). Before a trip to London, Malik tells Shivam to keep a close eye on his mistress Reema (Mrinali Sharma), but he discovers Reema is planning to escape with her Pakistani boyfriend. Overall it's OK to be watched once but not the kind of film to be bought on DVD.
