Chopra's reference to films like 'The Godfather' and 'Psycho' were quite funny.

I liked the idea that the whodunnit story takes place among a films cast and crew as they are shooting on location. Vidhu Vinod Chopra has created a very Hitchcockian thriller. Overall It is the best suspense thriller ever made in the Hindi Film Industry.

Pankaj Kapoor is brilliant in his small role as Kuku. Amol Palekar & Shabana Azmi does justice to their talents alongswith other cast. Suspicion falls on all and sundry and ultimately the CBI Inspector (Nasiruddin Shah)solves the crime in a superb climax.

During shooting of the film, members of the unit gets murdered one after another. There is inter personal rivalry and tension between the crew members. Directed by one of the best Indian Commercial film directors of recent times- Vidhu Vinod Chopra the story is build around a Hindi film shooting scenario. In the 1980's making a suspense thriller with such a well knit plot, without any typical Hindi film song & dance and a great climax was a magnum opus by itself. First of all it is film ahead of its times. I opted to put a serious review on this film as I felt it deserved a better review than the casual ones I found in the internet. There are gems like this to be found out there. Don't pass up wonderful movies from other countries. It is a story worth having been done by Hitchcock, but Chopra did a worthy job of not only penning this plot but bringing it to life for all to see. This is one that should definitely be seen by those who love suspense and film noir movies.

The shower scenario was a surprise treat.Īgain, with finding another treat coming out of Bollywood, I am so glad for the internet and this site for allowing me to find and buy movies from other parts of the world. Although this movie is far different, the plot is superb. I found this movie happily after watching 'Munnabhai M.B.B.S.', another great movie based on Chopra's writing. The characters were well developed and this movie had me on the edge of the seat trying to figure out who was behind all the murders. The cinematography was superb, especially during the chase scene. The movie moves along well, with great acting. Vidhu Vinod Chopra wrote and directed a great suspenseful mystery worth seeing.
