Awarapan - Movie Review

Apun Ka Choice: The protégés of Mahesh Bhatt have a knack for picking daring subjects that bring harsh realities of life to light. On the whole, Awarapan is worth watching once.

Hindustan Times: Except for its underworld-probing moments, this gangsta flick is as slow as watching paint peeling – this despite an excellent music score by Pritam.

IndiaFM: Choosing an interesting story is difficult. But doing justice to the story is nothing short of an achievement. Awarapan, directed by Mohit Suri, gets it right on both the levels - on paper first, on celluloid later.

Movie Talkies: The world of Mohit Suri's Awarapan is as bleak and cynical as the one in his previous films. The film does a fairly decent job of recounting the story of one man's attempt to redeem himself. The man in question here is Emran Hashmi. And this time round, Hashmi does a fairly decent job of redeeming his status as an actor.


Now Running: European in feel, Indian in texture and supremely secular in its view of love, loyalty and other passionate eruptions, Awarapan is one of those tightly-wound thriller-dramas where the outflow of emotions is so controlled that you forget the implausibility of the plot.

Rediff: Stay off the cinema hall!

Times Of India: In Awarapan, the director failed to match up with a power-packed script, or else, our boy-next-door had a winner up his sleeve!
