Awarapan: Nice Effort

I chose to watch this movie, because I didn't want to go for Aap Kaa Suroor (not a Himesh Reshamia fan) or Apne (It's difficult to see watch one Deol, how can one watch three of them together). After watching the movie, I realized, it wasn't really a bad decision. The movie is not very great but it is not bad either. Both the actresses are looking gorgeous, specially Shreya Saran. But to everyone's disappointment, Emran Hashmi does not kiss any of the two in the movie.

The movie starts with a scene showing some girls being traded in Hongcong. After the opening scene movie takes one year leap and (Shivam)Emran Hashmi is shown releasing som pigeons from a cage. Some sequence of events reveal that he is working for Bharat Malick (Ashutosh Rana) and is incharge of one of the various hotels owned by him. Bharat's brother Rajan (Ashish Vidyarthi), nephew Munna (Purab Kohli) and son Ronnie don't really like Shivam and the kind of reputation he shares with Bharat. He actually gets Munna arrested for a murder committed in his hotel. Bharat asks Shivam to follow his mistress Reema (Mrinalini Sharma) and find out if there is anyone else in her life. Reema reminds Shivam of his lost love played by beautiful Mrinalini Sharma (has been shown through flashback).

Soon Shivam finds out that there is someone else in Reema's life, Bilal (her love interest, before she was abducted from Pakistan). Bharat tells Shivam to kill her, but he could not do so. He decides to reunite Reema and Bilal. There is his best friend Kabeer also, playing an important part in the story. To know what happens next, you should watch the movie. There are some twists, which should not be revealed here.

I am really impressed with director Mohit Suri, he is learning with each of his movie. The most important thing he has learnt is using his actors efficiently. He found out through his past three movies that, Emran Hashmi is bad at dialogue delivery and he has given him very few dialogues. Emran Hashmi has also learnt some new expressions. All the characters have played their part well, except Bilal and Kabeer. The script is good and is inspired by a Korean film. In first half you will see some elements of Koyla (this one is far better than Koyala). The music across the border is good and there is one bhajan also in the movie, you will not know until you watch the video. Overall, the movie is decent and can be watched once. I would rate this movie 6 out of 10.
