Description: **Awarapan (2007) Movie Summary in Hindi and English**
Shivam is a heartbroken, introverted atheist and a gangster who serves as the right-hand man of Bharat Malik, a successful businessman managing a chain of hotels in Hong Kong. Shivam is entrusted with overseeing one of these hotels, which he manages exceptionally well, making it more prosperous than Malik’s other establishments. Malik deeply values Shivam for his loyalty, trustworthiness, and business skills, treating him like a beloved son—even more than his biological son, Ronnie. This favoritism fuels Ronnie’s jealousy toward Shivam, though he refrains from openly expressing it due to Malik’s strong support for Shivam.
Shivam’s close childhood friend, Kabir, assists him in various tasks. Meanwhile, Malik’s brother, Rajan, and Rajan’s spoiled son, Munna, harbor resentment toward Shivam due to ongoing conflicts between them.
One day, Malik assigns Shivam a sensitive task: to monitor his young mistress, Reema, whom he suspects of infidelity during his brief business trip. Reema is a young Pakistani Muslim woman and a victim of sex trafficking, whom Malik had acquired from the Bangkok flesh market. If Shivam discovers Reema’s betrayal, he must report it to Malik immediately.
As Shivam interacts with Reema, he is reminded of his lost love, Aliyah, through a series of flashbacks. Aliyah was a devout Muslim whom Shivam met by chance in a marketplace. Their love blossomed, but their relationship was doomed when Aliyah’s father discovered them together. Outraged, he physically punished Aliyah and exposed Shivam’s gangster past, shattering her trust. In a desperate attempt to prove his sincerity, Shivam offered Aliyah’s father his gun, vowing to leave his criminal life behind and provide for Aliyah honestly. However, Aliyah’s father, unmoved, fired the gun at Shivam, who narrowly escaped.
