Shivam is tasked with spying on Malik’s Pakistani mistress, Reema (Mrinalini Sharma), whom Malik suspects of having an affair. When Shivam discovers she is a victim of human trafficking trying to escape with her lover Bilal, he is forced to confront his own violent past.

When Awarapan released in 2007, it was dismissed by many critics as just another "Emraan Hashmi film"—a label often associated with thrillers centered on murder mysteries and serial killers. However, over the last 15+ years, the film has undergone a massive re-evaluation. It is now widely considered one of the most emotionally mature films to come out of the Vishesh Films (Mahesh Bhatt) camp.

The film is an uncredited remake of the South Korean classic A Bittersweet Life

Unlike typical gangster films where the climax involves the hero killing the villain to assert dominance, Awarapan ’s climax is rooted in sacrifice. Shivam does not kill Malik to take over the empire; he engages in violence to ensure the safety of an innocent woman. The final sequence—a shootout in a church—is highly symbolic. It places the violence within a sanctuary, suggesting that the violence itself is a form of penance. Shivam’s death at the end is not a tragedy in the classical sense, but a liberation. He finally escapes his Awarapan (wandering) through death, having reclaimed his soul.
