Watched the first day first show of it. I went to watch this movie because of Mohit Suri who I think is emerging as one of the very fine directors. Loved his Kalyug and woh lamhe and zehar were also fine. Also the slick promos and haunting music made me go to see it. Really loved it. due credit should be given to Mohit Suri for presenting such a fine heart-touching story. Loved everything from music, performances, cinematography, sound and overall presentation. Music is I believe the finest work of PRITAM yet. This soundtrack shows his extreme potential. Biggest Surprise package in the movie is Emraan Hashmi who was never known for his acting histrionics but awarapan should change that. He portrays the intensity of the depth of the character with utmost ease but credit for this should also be given to Mohit Suri. Even the rest of the cast is has done very well. Technically the film is of international standards. All in all a must see!

Vishesh films have given several good films like Gangster which became huge hits despite being low budget films AWARAPAN was their big budget film since long time and one of the reason the film flopped The movie was good though, despite being a copy of A BITTERSWEET LIFE The handling by Mohit Suri is great Emraan's character is handled brilliantly and the director manages to involve spirituality and other things very well The first half is slow but yet the scenes are very well handled, the flashback portion is good and also the entire Pre-interval point The 2nd half gets more intense and despite some cinematic liberties, the film is brilliantly handled Tera Mera Rishta comes at the apt place and makes a strong impact The spirituality angle looks in sync and is handled well The entire climax though filmy yet stands out esp the scene between Ashutosh and Emraan

Directorally Mohit Suri takes many steps ahead from his previous works, though his storytelling is slight flawed at places Music(Pritam) is perfect, esp To Phir Aao and Tera Mera Rishtaa cinematography is superb

Performances Emraan Hashmi till this film was not known as a great actor, but this film changed it all, He handled his role with amazing maturity and restraint Shreya is wonderful in a small role, Mrinalini is good though she tends to screech too much at places Ashutosh Rana is flawless in his part, Shaad Randhawa is good too Purab Kohli is excellent in his part Rehan Khan gets less scope

Overall a good film

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.
