Dhund

I have seen so many suspense thrillers. But, god-promise, I was shocked by the climax of the movie. It was most unexpected.

The highlight of the movie was Danny Denzongpa, in a two-scene role. Nonetheless, he managed to steal the thunder. The scene where he throws a saucer at the audience literally made me duck. And it made Danny a star.

The movie ended with the request - Do Not Reveal The Ending. I too will end on that note.

Review By Kamal K

What a super duper whodunit! And what a perfect star cast! Danny Denzongpa as the wheelchair bound sadist with a twisted soul was unforgettable. As was Zeenat Aman as his beautiful, long suffering wife. Sanjay Khan as the suave debonair advocate who's a family friend and is also carrying on an affair with Zeenat had done his role very well. And, we come to Navin Nishchal as the man who discovers the dead man and his murderer was excellent. Kudos to B R Chopra for his taut direction!

'Dhund', to this day, remains a very well made murder mystery.

Dhund(1973)is the best best Bollywood thriller I had seen in my life.The opening scenes has created a great interest for viewers to watch this best thriller.A best best Bollywood thriller with less songs and excellent cinematography.The movie has interesting twists that nobody can guess till the end of this best Bollywood thriller.An interesting thing about this thriller is that it runs only for two hours.Another interesting aspect about this thriller is the twists that take place suddenly at the end of the movie.The movie also has a team of best technicians.Of course everybody likes to watch this best best thriller again and again.

A gripping plot especially for a old movie, the plot leverages on the characteristics of Danny's role in order to justify the reasons behind his killing. Danny's acting is stupendous and over-whelming, so as to generate enough hatred by the audience for his role and at the same time develop awe for his acting. The dialogues spoken by Danny are so powerful that literally create a shaken and threatening feeling. The cool as cucumber and always helpful and cordial Navin Nischal cushions the plot very well. Deven Verma's very little cameo also adds a tinge of humour to the overall serious movie. The episode of killing is described very intriguingly with crafty usage of collectivism of the environmental noises, shooting noise and the regular habit of Danny to shoot at birds. The movie mentions of suspicions of killing towards many salient roles, by convincingly justifying the supposed reasons behind the killing by every suspect. The highlighting theme was the constant anger and wrath of the daunting Danny, which is nicely spread throughout the movie, with his physical disabilities in no way alleviating his nature even slightly.

The title song is wonderful and helps in building up on the suspense plot, but my special appreciation for the synergy between how the movie starts and how the movie ends. And special mention of the fact that the movie's plot is highly intelligent, which forms the foundation for this to be a good movie.

In bollywood mystry thrillers are quite rare and considering a thriller made in bacchhans era 70 s is by no means an ordinary feat. danny is quite extraordinary in his 5 min role, u feel like getting up and slapping him and feel quite satisfied that he dies, thats acting ...sanjay khan , navin nischol and ashok kumar are fabulous but zeenat aman was poor in acting, could have been better. all the loopholes in the story are plugged n last few min in such a way that each and every scene and character is justified in what he/she does. a must watch
