Awarapan (transl. Vagrancy) is a 2007 Indian Hindi-language action crime film[2] directed by Mohit Suri and written by Shagufta Rafique, from a story by Mahesh Bhatt and produced by Mukesh Bhatt. [3] An uncredited remake of the South Korean film A Bittersweet Life,[4][5] Awarapan was theatrically released in India and worldwide on 29 June 2007. It stars Emraan Hashmi, Shriya Saran, Mrinalini Sharma, and Ashutosh Rana. In the film, gangster Shivam Pandit (Hashmi) is ordered by his boss Bharat Malik (Rana) to watch over Reema (Sharma), Malik's secret Pakistani mistress. It was flop at the time of its release but over the years the film has attained a cult status, primarily due to Hashmi's performance. Despite receiving positive reviews from critics, it was a commercial failure, but eventually came to be regarded as one of Hashmi's best works. The film was praised for the cast performance (especially Hashmi's performance), musical scores, songs by Pritam , action sequences, plot and dialogues. But the film got less runtime due to excessive and brutal violence in the film.[6]
