Ittefaq

This movie which was a suspense filled drama,had an excellent script but the direction ranged from being totally amateurish to one of competence! Rajesh Khanna's acting ranged from extreme over acting to competence. The rest of the cast were average.

7/10.

Dilip Roy (Rajesh khanna) who is a drawing artist held against charges of killing her wife. During court hearing he started act insane. He then sent to mental hospital. One day he managed to elope from hospital and coincidentally chose a house where husband has been killed by his own wife. This is really an expectional classic suspense movie which is so unpredictable till the climax scene.

Very good story. Very few actors on the screen. No songs and yet this movie is a great suspense thriller. Nanda looks very sexy in this movie. She is vulnerable and voluptuous. Rajesh Khanna is does a different kind of role. Overall a must see. Turn off the lights and enjoy.

It has been 50 years since the movie release and ever since then the movie has held its popularity as a cult classic over the years. The 2019 remake starring Siddharth Malhotra and Sonakshi Sinha is a testament that the plot line is still relevant and still popular.

The movie revolves around a painter - Dilip Roy who has been convicted for the murder of his wife and is on the run from the mental asylum, he takes refuge in a lone house where a women is waiting for her husband who is expected to arrive later in the night. As the night progresses, the chemistry between the fugitive and the female evolves before secrets tumble out of the closet.

Despite multiple reruns, I still get impressed with the chemistry between Rajesh Khanna (Dilip Roy) and Nanda (Mrs. Jagmohan) and how Yash Chopra (the director) managed a script that breaks the stereotype of a murdered and her counter. Full marks to the supporting cast which involve many senior artists that make full use of the meaty plotline. The background score is scary and does full justice to the plot.
