Aitbaar

It is a great movie, sure to keep you on the edge of your sofa for the better part of the movie. Awesome performances by all 4 characters (Babbar, Dimple, Oberoi, Danny). Wish there were more movies like this made today.

Aitbaar released in 1985 is an Indian adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock's classic dial m for murder. This is a very interesting film brilliantly directed by mukul anand. The culprit is known, how it's proved, forms the plot. Adapted into Indian set up, aitbaar has strong script and effective actors which becomes the greatest usp of the film. A dialogue by raj babbar - har janam mein insan do cheezon se peecha nahi chura paya, aur woh hein bhookh aur hatya.... And that's the concept of the whole film. Hatya... Survival.... Money.... Greed... Easy comfortable life... Strategy... These elements input life into the script. The scene of keeping the key under the carpet is an important scene of the film. Actors, music, action and other elements are convincing. Amongst actors, according to me the most convincing performance is by Raj Babbar. Hats off. A must watch.

Movie is a Masterpiece,, Excellent Performance by Raj Babbar, Dimple Kapadia, Danny,,, Superb Direction ,,Great Thrill & Suspense,,Beautiful Music,,, You will always wait for the next scene to come,, I gladly rate 9/10

Mukul Anand's films always had a touch of class. And this remake of Hitchcock's "Dial M for Murder" is special. The plot is effortlessly Indianized, although it is difficult to imagine why any husband, however vain and philandering he may be, would want to snuff the life out of the beauteous Dimple Kapadia. She's a vision. Almost a match for Hitchcock's ice maiden, the incandescent Grace Kelly.

Cinema has never been such an effective vehicle for whodunnits. Why did a murder take place? That's something films tackle well. Not who did it. Even the original Hitchcock film was much too wordy. Anand has made game attempts to make it more visual but as a whodunnit it still doesn't work. The whole plot hinges on the key hidden underneath the staircase carpet. It's a bit too much, when the revelation eventually comes. Much ado about so little, you sigh! The other event in the film that makes you sigh is a sizzling dance done in skimpy clothes by Leena Das for Raj Babbar. Leena sizzles.

As expected bollywood can never make originals good so 1 because they have copied the movie and haven't acknowledged the original.
