This is undeniably my favourite Hashmi film…..all the best to the team of TIM MILE at that!

awarapan My take on AWARAPAN (Hindi, 2007)

For some reason I was really looking forward to seeing this movie.

Furthermore director Mohit Suri has constantly impressed me more and more with each passing film. Given this was the Bhatt camp’s biggest film to date with the reported budget figure being 18 crores the expectations soared. So does the movie live up to expectations? Quiet frankly.!.yes

    Akshay Shah,

    Athough there are a vast difference the way we “”watch”" a movie but at a personal lever i must say you are fantastic.i mean you have the energy to watch so many movies in a short span and then you are coming up with reveiews too..Incredible…

    Coming back to “‘Awarapann”" this i must say one of better Hashmi movies…The songs are fantastic and hashmi acted well too…Emran Hashmi definitely will have his name written in Hindi film history solely on the basis of numbers hit songs he is been part of…

    Agree, awaarapan is my favorite hashmi film, although the execution here was a bit too slow…

    I don’t like emraan hashmi at all, but “awarapan” was one of his very few tolerable films.
