    Entertaining !

    After the murder of a police inspector by an unidentified criminal group, a Special Task Police Inspector named Kiran Kumaar, who shares a striking resemblance to the deceased gangster Rangooni, was appointed to disguise as Rangooni in order to apprehend the criminal gang. During his mission, Inspector Kiran Kumaar encounters Ramesh, the leader of the gang, and becomes romantically involved with Manju, who is both close to Ramesh and eager for fame. Will Inspector Kiran Kumaar succeed in capturing Ramesh and his accomplices, as well as winning Manju's heart ?

    The character of Manju, portrayed by Madhubala, is that of a very modern, wealthy girl. In terms of acting, it is difficult to witness such a remarkable performance due to the film being commercial in nature and Madhubala's role being predominantly comedic. In the initial half of the film, her portrayal seems like overacting because of the sophistication and eloquence of her character. However, from the second half to the end, her performance was exceptional. Additionally, except for one scene, she dons western-style attire in all the movie sequences. Truly, she appeared divine in those outfits. Towards the conclusion of the film, Madhubala reverts to her natural emotive prowess. In one scene of the movie, she fluently speaks Gujarati. Madhubala's comic timing effectively kept the audience entertained throughout the film. An impressive performance can be observed from Pradeep Kumar, who takes on dual roles as Kiran Kumaar and Rangooni. Particularly, his portrayal of these characters in various disguises is quite humorous. The chemistry between Pradeep and Madhubala is commendable. Although Nadira was credited as part of the main cast, she only appeared in one song and had limited screen time elsewhere. Nonetheless, she delivered a remarkable performance in her song sequence. Anwar effectively brought his antagonist character to life. Raj Mehra convincingly played the role of Inspector Mehra. Dhumal played a significant role in maintaining the film's entertainment quotient. His scene with Madhubala, in particular, is highly amusing. Om Prakash and Mirza Musharraf also contributed positively to the film's entertainment aspect. Tun Tun had a brief appearance in the movie but failed to leave a lasting impression. Bhagwan Dada's participation in one of the film's songs was both memorable and priceless.

    The narrative revolves around crime and action, yet it remains engaging due to the inclusion of humorous scenes throughout the film. While it may be considered just another crime-action movie without any distinctiveness, it does possess a predictable climax. However, the film's dialogue is penned in a comedic manner, which significantly enhances the overall plot.

    The film's shooting locations are charming, as they deviate from the typical studio settings usually seen in Madhubala's movies. The costume designer deserves praise for creating Western attire for Madhubala, which not only suits the 1950s setting but also remains fashionable by modern-day standards. The cinematography is satisfactory, while the sound mixing could have been improved. The song choreographies are decent and effectively convey emotions.

    The film's music is skillfully composed by Hemanta Mukherjee. The soundtrack is enjoyable, distinctive, and harmoniously aligned with the script. However, the background score contradicts this quality, as it unnecessarily intrudes upon certain scenes. This heavy background music often hinders the audience's understanding of the dialogue, significantly impacting the film's entertainment value. Nonetheless, I appreciated the songs "Mere Tum Ho Phir Kya Hai" and "Oh Oh Baby Mudke Zara" from the movie.

    In summary, "Police" may not be considered an outstanding film in terms of its storyline or acting. However, if you are interested in exploring a 1950s crime drama with an entertaining plot, this film could cater to your preferences.
