This movie is all about Emraan and his acting and how he fights his inner demons. It is really interesting to see this story of a gangster doing the right things. It feels like a classic cult movie of its own genre. It has the best songs and music of that time and even today if you listen to any of the song it will not sound old. Treat to watch.

... View MoreThis 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.
... View MoreI 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.
