Awarapan film story :
Shivam (Emraan Hashmi), a heartbroken and introvert atheist, gangster, and right-hand man of Bharat Malik (Ashutosh Rana), officially a businessman who runs a chain of hotels in Hong Kong. Shivam is given the responsibility of one of these hotels, which he bears capably and well, making it much more successful than Malik’s other hotels. Malik holds Shivam in the highest esteem due to Shivam’s loyalty, reliability, and business acumen, and treats him like an adored son whom he entrusts with almost everything – indeed, more so than his biological son Ronnie (Salil Acharya).
This is the cause of much jealousy on Ronnie’s part against Shivam, but due to Malik’s outspoken support for Shivam, Ronnie does not dare do openly oppose him. Shivam has a very close childhood friend, Kabir (Shaad Randhawa), who assists him with everything. Meanwhile, Malik’s brother, Rajan (Ashish Vidyarthi), and Rajan’s spoilt son Munna (Purab Kohli) nurture a grudge against Shivam because of Shivam’s repeated conflicts with Munna.
During that time, Malik asks Shivam to keep an eye on his young mistress Reema (Mrinalini Sharma), whom he suspects of having an affair with someone else, while he is away on a brief business trip. Reema is a young Pakistani girl, devout Muslim, and victim of sex trafficking, whom Malik had “bought” in the Bangkok flesh market. If Reema is found cheating on Malik, then Shivam has to inform him immediately.
In Shivam’s interactions with Reema, he recalls his lost love, Aliyah (Shriya Saran) in a series of flashbacks. Aliyah was a devout Muslim whom Shivam had met by chance in the marketplace one day. The duo eventually fell in love, but when her father saw them together, he wrathfully confronted them, reprimanding Aliyah physically . He also exposed Shivam’s gangster background to a shocked Aliyah, leading to Shivam’s instantly offering her father his gun, saying that he was willing to let go of everything, start anew, and legitimately provide for Aliyah if he is allowed to be with her. Aliyah’s father recovers from his initial surprise quickly and shoots at Shivam with the gun, who ducks to avoid the bullet. The bullet hits Aliyah instead, killing her and temporarily driving Shivam over the edge. A feeling of guilt and sorrow at Aliyah having died because he tried to save his own life remains with Shivam hereafter. Aliyah’s father instantly commits suicide when he realizes what he has done.
Shivam discovers one night that Reema has a secret boyfriend named Bilal (Rehan Khan), who convinces her to run away with him back to Pakistan. Shivam informs Malik, who orders Reema’s elimination. However, when he confronts the couple to eliminate them, she dares him to shoot her, claiming that freedom is her right, requesting mercy “for God’s sake”. Shivam is reminded of Aliyah’s religious mannerisms, which bear a strong resemblance to Reema’s, and is unable to shoot her, leaving her alive. Malik tries to reach Shivam, who severs contact with the former, leading to Malik finding out about his disobedience.
Shivam plans to quickly run away from Hong Kong back to India with Kabir, who is extremely unwilling to do so. Eventually, he betrays Shivam to Malik, whose regard for Kabir goes up. Malik has Shivam captured, and orders Ronnie to torture Shivam until he agrees to kill Reema when Shivam refuses to do so even after Malik offers him a second chance. Malik is shown to be genuinely hurt and sorrowful at what he perceives as Shivam’s betrayal, and he hands over Shivam’s responsibilities in the business to Kabir. Malik makes up the old feud with Rajan and Munna, and merges their gangs and businesses, with Malik demanding that Shivam be brought before him alive so that Malik can kill him personally. This occurs in Kabir’s presence, who is bitterly penitent to the point of not wishing to live any more over his betrayal of Shivam.
Shivam manages to escape Ronnie and seeks refuge in the monastery of a monk whom he had once set free from certain death. He recovers from his injuries, and reminded of Aliyah and her belief in freedom, decides to not continue running all his life to save his own skin, but to “fulfill someone else’s dreams” – namely, unite Bilal and Reema and send them to Pakistan. He manages to save Bilal from Malik’s henchmen, led by Kabir, whom Shivam still trusts and regards as his best friend, who tearfully reiterates that he is ready to die for Shivam, as he always was. Kabir takes Bilal to the monastery, where arrangements are made to ship Bilal and Reema to Lahore.
Shivam tracks Reema, killing Rajan when he taunts Reema and refuses to divulge where she is. He tricks Munna into revealing Malik’s plans regarding Reema, which are to sell her to the person who “enjoys” her the most. Munna tells Shivam everything about it including the location, believing him to be crippled by his wounds and is immediately killed by Shivam upon realizing that is not the case. Shivam finds Reema and Malik, who is madly enraged at Shivam’s standing against him, when he had cared for Shivam so much, deriding Shivam’s new belief in God and freedom. Shivam kills Malik and escapes with Reema to the shipping docks, where Bilal is waiting. Kabir shows up to fight Malik’s men and buy Shivam time, and he is brutally murdered in the process. Bilal manages to force a reluctant Reema to escape to the ship, who is hesitant to leave Shivam behind. Ronnie and his men arrive and Shivam manages to kill them all in a gunfight, but he is mortally wounded himself. As Shivam lies dying, he comes to terms with his past, forgiving himself and envisioning Aliyah smiling down upon him. The movie ends with Reema in a conference in Pakistan, where she tells her story of the “awara” who sacrificed his life to save her, and incites those present to stand up for victims of trafficking.
