Humraaz

Humraaz(secret of both) is a fine thriller made in this new millennium.. Rarely female actresses give best performances in Indian movies.Amisha Patel is good and she also brings tears in our eyes in the climax scenes.Abbas-Mustan has proved that female characters can perform better than male characters.Amisha Patel's performance is best as well as thrilling. A big salute to Amisha Patel's performance.Her face reactions are best and cleverly matching to this thrilling . The movie had bas been successful due to Amisha Patel's Performance. Wow a female performance after 80's.Surely the female performance make this movie a superb one.

Great thriller that takes a look into the dark side of ambition. Each character has questionable motives, and the human drama alone kept me riveted thru the film. The acting is convincing and the plot has many surprising twists and turns. I enjoyed that every main character had committed some wrong--that they weren't totally innocent. It made the boundaries between hero/villain unclear at times, and it kept the movie unpredictable, and more believable. Amisha Patel was absolutely charming, Akshaye Khanna has a dark scheming edginess that gave me the chills, and I especially enjoyed Bobby Deol as the rich suave bachelor. Bobby Deol amazed me with his acting skills, and portrayed a wide range of emotion very convincingly. I loved the tension that this movie maintained...it was truly edge of your seat!

I have seen lots of Indian films, and this one is ranked in my top 10. Bobby Deol was fantastic in this movie...not to mention HOT! From Gupt to Humraaz, his acting and his hair are both getting better. The plot was sneaky. You didn't know what was going to happen next. I was totally shocked with the ending. True traditional Indian culture about love and marriage shines through in this movie. Bobby Deol's sweet side shines through as well. He can be rough and tough...you know bad guy written all over him...that's what I like about him (it's sexy). When these Indian movies work, they really WORK WELL! Also, the music and dance scenes worked well in this movie since most of the actors were from a dance group. They put a lot of work into the dancing, and it showed.

This is singularly the most entertaining movie from Mumbai. I think the credit should go to the incredible music of Himmesh R,The enchanting Choreography,a perfectly chosen Cast,and a brilliant direction by the Doti-clad Duo Abbas-Mastan. This is one of the movies where the talent has been put to good use even the children of lesser talent like Johny Lever. Akshay Khanna may never get a similar oppurtunity to display his talent of a conniving con Artist as he does here. Amisha Patel looks incredible gorgeous with some great dance numbers. Sunny Deol is just perfect as a Tycoon. There is no overacting or filthy gyration in the name of Choreography as in Salman Khan Movies which are bordering on vulgarity. All said and done an enchantingly entertaining film.

After all the tripe such as K3g and the like, along with Company Humraaz is one of the better efforts from Bollywood this year. Slick production with a Hollywood inspired script, this film is far more gripping for its 3 hours. With good acting by bollywood standards (Amisha Patel doesnt have to cry!! yippeee!!!)and well placed songs in context of the film (Bardaasht is admittently the stand out track with a fair few fillers), Humraaz is a winner. The backgroud score is exceptional and compliments the on-screen action. This film could have benefitted from a slightly bigger budget because one gets the feeling that the directors had cut alot of corners in the filming of this film, due to lack of money. However, they should be praised for trying somthing different and not palming us off with the dire Chopra/Johar love triangles. Humraaz is what the indian film industry should be striving for.
