Assassin,
Shivam (Emraan) works for Mallik (Ashutosh), a Hong Kong based criminal
who asks him to keep an eye on his alluring mistress Reema (Mrinalini).
She
is a Pakistani girl in Hong Kong as a result of human trafficking.
Meeting
Reema brings back heartbreaking memories of Shivam's past when he
was once romantically involved with Aalia (Shriya).
A shocked
Shivam soon learns that Reema is preparing to elope with her lover
and in doing so, is ordered by his boss to kill her.
This
sees the awakening of Shivam's inner conscience and spirituality
as he rebels against his superior in order to achieve salvation
from his past deeds and also help Reema to escape the wrath of her
dictator.
Awarapan
is a well crafted product showing how director Suri has evolved
as a narrator from his previous flicks like Zeher, Kalyug and Woh
Lamhe.
Here,
he focuses on the dark and violent side of human nature resulting
in gun shots and gore which some audience may find difficult to
digest.
Emraan
Hashmi sheds his 'lover boy' image by playing a sombre and powerful
gypsy style character.
He
gives a magnificent performance as Shivam who goes through a transition
from loyalty to hatred when challenged by his inner conscience.
Shreya
Saran not only looks stunning but is also comfortable in her role
although Mrinalini Sharma's character could have been better presented.
On
the whole this is a compelling and gruesome drama about love, loyalty
and betrayal - but it may not appeal to everyone.
