    Good murder mystery movie

    Good movie to watch for especially the movie's all songs are good to hear and also the suspense murder mystery is neatly done.
    10hearthacker9988

    All time classic in the list of murder mysteries.

    Gupt was one of the biggest hits of 1997. It was a lavishly mounted film and directed by Rajiv Rai. Gupt starred Bobby Deol, Manisha Koirala and Kajol in the main roles.

    I have watched this movie many times and its varied theme made me interested in it. The movie is not a typical Bollywood crap.

    A plot with lots of twist and turns. The movie is about Bobby Deol who is convicted to life imprisonment for murdering his step father.Deol has all the evidence against him in the murder case to kill his father.His love interest is played by old flame Kajol as well as Manisha Koraila who his step father wanted him to get married to.Deol escapes from jail with the help of Manisha and vows to get to the bottom of the matter as to who killed his step father and why He also has the uneviable task of running from the law as a convict who has run from jail.Other co-actors like ompuri, raza murad, prem chopra and others have also performed to their best.i will not tell more as it will reveal suspense for those who have not watched it yet.

    Direction by Rajiv Rai is excellent. As the writer, he has done extremely well to keep audience guessing till the end.He also keeps the pace of the film tight and fluid as the editor. The cinematography is eye-catching and Gupt features some of the best locales ever filmed.

    The music was a very important factor in making the movie a hit. I think that the music of the movie is among my all-time favorites.Music director viju shah has done an excellent job.Movie's Background score is classic.

    ''Mere Sanam'', ''Yeh Pyassi Javani'', ''Gupt Gupt'', ''Yeh Pyar Kya Hai'', Mere Khabon Mein'', ''Becheniyam'', ''Duniya Haseenom Ka Mela'' - all are great to hear with some quick as well as different beats. This is one of those less movies which has each and every song perfect and loving to hear.The film's soundtrack is one of the best of the year 1997.

    This movie is definitely a must see and I highly recommended to everyone.see it to Believe it.10/10

    The hidden truth Gupt 10/10 Love this movie

    Gupt the hidden truth my all time favorite director after mohra Rajiv Rai made this movie amazing performance by every actor. The music is the best all songs and lyrics and the tunes are still chartbusters. This movie is out and out suspense movie with great background music great direction beautiful locations and great performances by Bobby deol ,manisha ,Kajol , paresh Rawal and om puri must watch

    A Kajol show all the way!

    I liked Gupt more than I liked Tridev, Mohra and Vishwathma. The plot was unconventional and some of the songs in the movie were awesome. But I must say the lack of better choreography and good costumes stick out like a sore thumb in most of the songs.

    The success of Gupt lies in the brilliant portrayal of one of its leading lady, Kajol. She carries the whole movie on her shoulders. She was thoroughly into her character.

    The climax will give you goosebumps. After a lot of red herrings, you can't really guess who the real killer might be. And that's where the victory of the script and the director lies.

    There are lots of characters in this movie though. But these characters are added to heighten the suspense.

    Bobby Deol is strictly okay. He should cut his hair and develop a strong screen presence like his brother Sunny Deol. Manisha Koirala looks good but looks heavy and wears clothes that accentuate her heaviness. The rest of the cast are okay but Om Puri stands out among the rest. I liked the way he mouths his dialogue.

    Overall, Gupt is a must watch for Kajol fans! Go watch it with an open heart.

    One of the Best Suspense Thriller Movies of Bollywood

    What I really love the most about this film is the songs. The music is so magical and a little bit mysterious...Viju Shah did a brilliant job undoubtedly...'Mere Khwabon Mein Tu', 'Mushkil Bada Yeh Pyaar Hai', 'Gupt Gupt', 'Yeh Pyaar Kya Hai' and 'Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela' - these are my personal favorites...

    Moving on to the great performances of the three leads...'Bobby Deol' beautifully played a character who is wrongly framed for the murder of his father...During my childhood I was not so fond of 'Manisha Koirala'. But after watching her 'Gupt', 'Dil Se', 'Khamoshi' and 'Bombay', I've started liking her a lot...She is such a brilliant actress...I like to watch 'Kajol' with SRK on screen...My favorite movies of Kajol are - Baazigar, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and My Name Is Khan...She is paired with SRK in all of these films...Besides these films, I liked her in Gupt and Dushman where she is not paired with SRK...This film is undoubtedly a milestone of these three leads' careers...

    Finally, I just want to say if anybody like to watch suspense thriller Hindi film, I must say this is a must watch movie for him/her...
