EXCLUSIVE REVIEW BY HANUMANT BHANSALI
Mohit Suri, proves himself as one of the finest narrators present in the Hindi Film industry with the dark, grave and violent offering titled Awarapan. The film is a fine blend of performances and script, and barring a few sequences the film is bound to hold your interest till the very end. Only thing is, one needs quite a bit of courage and sensibilities to sit through its serious setting.
The film is partly inspired by the storyline of a Korean film A Bittersweet life, made by Kim Ji-Woon. Awarapan is a film which depicts a rainbow of love, faith, spirituality, violence and much more.The story of Awarapan is about Shivam (Emraan Hashmi). He works as a hitman dedicated towards his boss Malik (Ashutosh Rana). Malik instructs him to keep an eye on his lady of love Reema (Mrinalini).
Shivam is haunted by his past which involved Aliaya (Shreya Saran). Reema reminds him of his dead love Aliaya, whose life ended in a disastrous way. Soon, Shivam discovers that Reema is going to flee from the country with her boy friend Bilal (Rehan Khan). Hearing this news from Shivam, Malik instructs him to kill Reema.
He backs out at the last moment and now, the entire force of Malik gets behind him. There is no saviour for Shivam. He has to fight it all on his own.
The film discovers the various emotions that a man in distress goes through. At times though, the scenes look made up and a bundle of characters forced in. The narration needs a little intelligence to penetrate into the sudience’s mind.
The thought process involved in the making of the film moves constantly from one frame to frame. The message is clear and evident, every individual has the right to freedom.
