Sufism is something that always attracted the people of Indian sub continent. It has deep impact in Indian music. Sufism attracted not only the Muslims but also the Hindus as well. In movies, we have seen the use of sufi flavors many times. It seems that sufi flavors are present in the movie Awarapan too- at least in its music.

The album starts off with the Sufi-based track “Tera mera rishta”. The song, composed and rendered by Pakistani rock sensation Mustafa Zahid, is the kind that would be featured in any Mahesh Bhatt film and yet is so different. Mustafa’s deep voice holds a lot of emotion and passion, which take the track to a higher level and make it a great one to listen to.

“Mahiya” comes in next where the crooning has been done by Suzzane and the lyrics have been penned by Asif Ali Baig and Sayeed Quadri. This is a dance number that’s got a very electric feel to it, making the singer sound rather like Shibani Kashyap. Though not really a hit, the song still ensures that you get the hang of it.

Already there is some good praises about the music of Awarapan and many people have liked it.

Tomorrow, Indian people will have 3 new Bollywood movies to choose from. They are Awarapan, Apne and Aap Ka Surroor. Apne will see the come back of Dharmendra in a lead role and he will be with his sons in the movie. So, many people are eagerly waiting for it. On the other hand, Awarapan is a movie of Mahesh Bhat and you know that Mahesh Bhat’s movies can always attract the attention of some people no matter how much they flop.

‘Apne’ is already riding high by projecting the film to be the first to cast three Deols. With Dharmendra returning to play a major character in a film after many years, trade magazines say the movie has caught the fancy of the audience.

The promos of Himesh’s movie have been running on television for over a month. So the ‘Aap Ka Surroor’ mania may give stiff competition to the Deol film.

To a certain extent, ‘Awarapan’, directed by Mohit Suri, has been overshadowed by the hype surrounding the first two movies.

Thus, it is going to be a tough competitions for all these movies. Which movies do you want to watch? Which do you think will in the box office?

I think you already know that the movie Awarapan will introduce you with a new star singer of Bollywood. Mustafa Zahid is a Pakistani singer and this is going to be his debut play back in a movie. Actually the songs of the movie Awarapan have already got success among the fans. Today, I got a video of a popular song of the movie in Youtube. For your convenience I am giving the video below:

I hope you will enjoy the song Toh Phir Aao. Now, it seems that the movie is going to be a hit in the box office. However, only time can tell the answer if the movie will make a huge cash in.

The budget of the Mahesh Bhatt’s upcoming movie Awarapan is 18 crores. Now, it seems that producer is planning very seriously to back his money as soon as possible. The recent new in the media is that the movie Awarapan will be released in Spain as well. Earlier, the movie was set to US, UK and UAE.

India Post reported:

In a recent development, Studio 18 has succeeded in clinching a deal to release Awarapan in Spain. “Given our focus to reach a wider slice of overseas viewers, this is a huge break-through for an atypical overseas film.
N on-traditional markets have begun contributing considerably to the overall revenue pie,” says Gayathiri Batra, who manages Rest-of-The-World at Studio 18. Awarapan

will have a day-and-date release in Spain on June 29, along with other countries.

The movie includes some of the debut artists including Mustafa Zahid, a Pakistani rock singer, who sang some hit songs in the movie. Moreover, a popular Indian model Mrinalini Sharma has given her debut appearance in the movie. So, let’s see how people take the new comers though the Mahesh Bhatt’s film Awarapan.

An Indian popular model Mrinalini Sharma has recently given her debut appearance in a Bollywood movie titled Awarapan produced by Mahesh Bhatt. The Mohit Suri directed Awarapan will be released on coming Friday and the fans are now excited for the movie. In the movie, Mrinalini Sharma played a role of Pakistani beauty. Recentlly she has given an interview where she talked about her experience about the movie. I am quoting a selective part of her interview from The Asian News.

Was it easy for you to land a role in Awarapan?
For Vishesh Films (the Bhatts’ production company), which has produced Awarapan, is different, the script is bigger than the actors, and they depend on a tight and gripping story to bring in the audience. That has worked for them on all their recent films ( Zeher, Woh Lamhe, Kalyug, Gangster, etc.). As soon as I auditioned for the film, Mohit Suri, the director saw that I was perfect for the character of Reema Zaidi, and signed me on instantly.

Could you elaborate a little more about your part in Awarapan?
I play a Pakistani girl, a victim of human trafficking. She is brought to Bangkok for sale but lands up being confined by a gangster who happens to fall in love with her. She loves someone else, and entices the gangster’s aide Shivam, (Emraan Hashmi) with her charms to escape.

How is Emraan as a co-star?
I was very intimidated by him on the first day of the shoot, but he turned out to be such a fun person that soon I was at ease. He also has this habit of playing pranks on everyone. I was at the receiving end of many of Emraan’s pranks on the sets of the film!

Well, I am sure that you already know that Mrinalini Sharma has been a star model in Indian. Now, you will see her acting in Bollywood. Do you think that she will bring success in her acting career as well?

Emraan Hashmi is eagerly waiting to see how Awarapan does in the box office. He is trying to promote this movie and is expecting that the magic of Mahesh Bhat may help his career to go to the next level. He gave an interview to Screen India. Here is a small excerpt from that:

Q: It’s about time. One was getting a little tired of seeing the same Emraan in films that ran to type, with different girls who yet looked like they’d been cut out of the same mould. Even the music was beginning to sound familiar with ‘Woh ajnabi…’ appearing to be an extension of ‘Afsana banake…’

A: I think it would be unfair to Mithoon to equate ‘Woh ajnabi…’ with ‘Afsana…’ He’s used new sounds and the music of The Train has a feel of its own. I admit though that I’d reached a saturation point as far as the deception game goes. At this juncture I needed a film like Awarapan in which I’m not cheating on my wife or chasing after someone else’s biwi. It’s not something you’ve seen any actor do on screen in recent times. Even the locations are new. We’ve shot in Hong Kong…And Pakistan.

Every Bollywood film is a love story in one way or another. I guess that there is shortage of love among all the actors, actresses, directors, musicians and everyone involved with Bollywood. That is why they are so crazy to put love in every film. Awarapan is going to be the same too. On the one hand, there would be suspense, action and violence but then all of them are for just purpose- love.

Says producer, Mukesh Bhatt, “It’s got the angle of human trafficking. It’s not just a love story, we are trying to focus on how this is a huge problem in SAARC countries.”

Apart from the trafficking angle, Awarapan as the title suggests, is also a story of a lonely man who finds love in strange circumstances.

So, human trafficking and love. I wish that the bad people could have some love towards other human beings. May be, Awarapan will teach the bad people to love.

He is the lead singer in Awarapan. Mahesh Bhat likes him and thinks that he has good potential to go a long way in the music world. Well, I may not agree with Mr. Bhat on many things but I would surely never dare to disagree with him about music. Mahesh Bhat’s movies always contain good music and no Bollywood movie could yet break the good tune set by Aashiqui in 1990. That movie was directed by Mr. Bhat.

Enough has been said and written about the Pakistani rock sensation Mustafa Zahid who makes his singing debut with Mahesh Bhatt’s forthcoming Awarapan.

However, the Gagan Grewal show on the BBC Asian Network in the UK managed to pin down the 22-year old British-Pakistani singer Annie whose super successful Maahiya track (released 1.5 years back in Pakistan) has also found favour on the soundtrack of Awarapan.

Mustafa Zahid will surely go some distance and earn some fame in the coming days.

Mustafa Zahid now seems to be new star in Bollywood. This Pakistani rock singer has recently sung in the Mahesh Bhatt produced movie Awarapan. Emraan Hashmi will play in the protagonist role in the movie. 25 year old singer Mustafa Zahid has already become famous in Indian media after the release of the sound t racks of the movie. This is the debut movie for the Pakistani singer who was discovered by producer Mahesh Bhatt.

Indiafm reported:

With him (to the right) in the picture is his discovery, the 25-year old Pakistani rock sensation, Mustafa Zahid, who has sung the chartbusting To Phir Aao and Tera Mera Rishta tracks from Awarapan, releasing this week.
On the extreme left is Haider, the lead guitarist of the rock band, Roxen, of which Mustafa is the lead vocalist.
The picture was probably taken in Mumbai months back when the boys from Pakistan were down to Mumbai to record for Awarapan.
According to sources, Mustafa is flying to Mumbai from Lahore on Tuesday for a countrywide promotional tour of Awarapan.

Earlier Mahesh Bhatt introduced James, a popular Bangladeshi singer; through his movie Gangster and James became popular in Bollywood. Now, Mustafa Zahid is in the queue to rose to stardom through another Mahesh Bhatt movie Awarapan.

Using animals in movie is not uncommon matter. However, Awarapan has gone one stage ahead by using 700 pigeons. As if, it is not enough, the director has presented 100 Buddhist monks in the movie.

Glamsham wrote:

Last there was news about more than 700 pigeons being released in AWARAPAN to signify the Islamic tenet of freedom propounded by Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).

Now we are informed that 100 Buddhist monks were used in the film as well. Those who’ve seen the film’s promos will observe the monks in the ‘Tera Mera Rishta’ track with Emraan Hashmi.

You just have to wait one day to enjoy all the funs in Awarapan.
