Awarapan was huge success in Pakistan and earned 8 crores.
Emraan Hashmi won tremendous acclaim for his performance in the film.
The film opened on an poor basis because of very strong competition from Aap Kaa Suroor and Apne. Additionally, the negativity of Emraan's image as a serial kisser also discouraged people to the theatres. Movie was smash hit on online and DVD.
Awarapan is a remake of Korean movie A bittersweet life (2005)
The title Awaarapan was going to be used for the film " Woh Lahme". Later Mukesh Bhatt changed his mind.
