हमराज़

Humraaz is an immensely entertaining and classy film that is probably on par with any Hollywood thriller. The best thing about the film is that it keeps you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end! When you think the movie is over an unexpected twist happens to keep the pulse-pounding thrills sky-high. Plus, the movie has that traditional, nostalgic Bollywood style romance that everyone loves. Music by Himesh Reshammiya deserves awards, with the best songs being 'Bardaasht', 'Dil Ne Kar Liya', and 'Sanam Mere Humraaz'. Performances from the cast couldn't be better! This is Amisha Patel's best role to date (including 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai'), and Bobby Deol and Akshaye Khanna act with zeal and enthusiasm. The only let down of the movie is the cliched ending, but with a film that has appealed to you for a solid three hours, you'll fail to notice.

With all that said, Humraaz is a film for everyone, and the most appealing of 2002. Go rent it, or rather, buy it!

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.

Humraaz is a thriller from Bollywood inspired by Hollywood. It's a love story too. Of course it has songs and they are ok in the context. The twists and turns are well handled and together with a cast that seems to enjoy themselves the film scores quite some points. Helas at the very end it loses a lot of them again with a ridiculous over the top showdown that is quite indigestable unless you really dig that particular brand of violence that is so typically Bollywood. Too bad since the film has a couple of violent moments before that which are much more realistic and scary. More amusing than scary is the fact that the bad guy usually is accompanied by Gregorian chants when he goes about his business.

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!

One of the best Indian Movies, It's amazing, everything was perfect, the directors, the producer, the music, the lyrics

Bobby Deol, Amisha Patel and Akshaye Khanna, you've done a real excellent work! All the best for all of you & thank you.
