Anwar is the story of a young man, an artist, who leaves his home and everything he knows in order to escape a world he no longer recognizes. All he ever wanted was a love story, Instead, his mentor abandons him and his best friend and his one true love betray him. Devastated, emotionally exhausted, he takes refuge in an old building, only to wake up the next morning to find his world turned upside down. Mistaken for a terrorist, Anwar finds himself in the midst of an unusual set of circumstances that resonate deeply with the modern Indian Condition and indeed with the Human Condition in this present-day global village.

Konterr Brilliant and touching
Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,
2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
ajeet_fop1 I bought its DVD because some of my friends told me that this is a good movie. Frankly speaking I was not agree with them because this movie was never marketed. I bought the DVD and saw the movie. What ? Guys, it is really a movies which keeps strength to make you so emotional even if you are not. Movie is a little slow but that does not affect its story and entertainment. It is slow because it was necessary to understand the feelings of every character. I would recommend everyone to watch it. One more thing, I loved the background music of the movie so much. Its a story about a young Muslim guy fell in love with a girl. Somehow the guy not being so lucky and do not get his love because the girl loved someone else ( A Hindu guy). In his temper unknowingly he just make the things messed up and both the girl and the guy(Hindu) were murdered. Anwar feels so guilty and starts walking to an unknown destination. In his way, he finds a temple and thinks to spent the night in there. In the morning whole scene was changed. Now I am not going to tell you the whole story. Just watch it and feel the movie.
sshaikh3 What should i say about this movie it is only the fact that it is a love story disguised it's about a Muslim man who is in love with a woman who in turn actually never loved him in reality perspective people would just say to anwar that he should get over her and find somebody else but they don't realize what a complicated matter love really can be and well that is the love that anwar feels for this woman mehru the beauty of it is the story of anwar one thing that I was curious about is Anwar's fascination of hindu temples despite being a Muslim if he's a Muslim he should abide in his traditions although his fasciantion is quite alright the songs of this movie are really good a well made movie about love stories combined and a few haunting scenes this movie is worth a see for someone who is really a romantic and understands the beauty of love and love stories.
sola dooni aath there has been a slew of 'political' films that have come out of bombay of late. this is better than most of those, perhaps not a part of that league either. although all of them essentialise the girl. too many balls are hanging in the air, and none of them falls down. manish jha juggles all. lovely music. a satire on all and sundry, though it empathises with the characters also. perhaps bleak. but very true. what is the 'indian Muslim'? what is the 'hindu'? a long, hard look at a billion people masturbating together and screaming. what will happen after they ejaculate? will they stay together?
Krishna Sundar Anwar was on the "Top 10" on B4U rating. I too was bored. I thought, I could spend some time with the latest movie. My GOD, it was totally USELESS one... Surely not worth watching even once. Only one song was good (Maula Mere...). Please, watch some other movie, not this one...Anyway, if you are still reading this, let me tell you about the movie in short. There is a guy called Anwar(Obvious thing). There is a small portion of their house that they have rented it. A girl with her sick mother, stays there. Her name is Mearu. Anwar is doing Hindi Literature and also some research on Temples. Mearu, on the other hand, want to go to the US. Anwar's friend, (I think his name is Uday or some thing...) has just got a job in the US and is busy. Anwar loves Mearu and wants to get married. She wants someone better than Anwar. After sometime, Anwar sees Mearu with his friend, but does not utter a word, but later warns his friend.After some time, when Mearu is missing, she is searched all over, but not found. Anwar helps them find her and she commits suicide. All this is a flash back. Actually the night, when Mearu committed suicide, Anwar leaves the place and gets down in the middle of no-where and stays in a Temple. He carried a bag. He had some sketches of temple in his sketch-book. A small boy sees them and tells police about this and Police surrounds the Temple and waits for him to get out so that they can kill him. (They think he is a terrorist! What a comedy)
