    Worth watching!!!

    Having watched a few movies, I was a fan of Sanjeev Kumar's(Haribhai) performance. I wanted to give a try to this movie with an anticipation that will be a time-pass murder mystery. The movie wasn't a mystery. It was a story of a man for whom his world was his wife. He even loses his eyesight on the pretext of saving her life. But what does he get in return? Taking advantage of his blindness, his wife stages an illicit affair with his own friend. A friend who claims to be his best friend. Love-grieved by her unfaithfulness, back-stabbed by his friend and with physical disability, it could have been easy for him to continue what has been going on. But he decides to teach both of them a lesson. How he does that forms rest of the plot. Till this point the movie is good. From here on the movie turns out excellent. This movie is underrated and did not get the applause it deserved. A superb performance by late Haribhai, as a blind man plotting a task which would seem impossible for a blind person. He was a gem of an actor and had he been alive for few more years, we could have seen more of his good performances. Alas. The story is well written and well executed. Rest of the cast(Sarika, Ranjeeta and Marc Zuber) have justified their characters. The movie lacks in technicality. The picturization and presentation were not to the mark where the story was. This could be due to low budget. Overall, this movie is not worth missing for Haribhai's fans. If you are not his fan, after watching the movie you surely will be.

    Decent thriller, Worth watching

    Qatl is one of the underrated movies of Sanjiv Kumar and is probably one of his last movies. Story of vengeance of a blind man ( Real blind man) on his wife. 2nd half is a one of the best in Hindi film Suspense and Thrill Genre. Watch it for performance of Sanjiv Kumar, Shatrughan Sinha is irritating as police officer. Other stand out performances are of Ranjita and Marc Zuber.

    Underrated 80s thriller

    Qatl review :

    Sometimes good films flop commercially but attain cult status later. For example, Mera Naam Joker and Andaaz Apna Apna. Sadly, Qatl didnt even attain that but it remains a highly underrated thriller which deserves a watch.

    Starring Sanjeev Kumar, Sarika, Mark Zuber and Shatrughan Sinha, Qatl explores the repercussions of adultery and its punishment.

    Sarika is having an extramarital affair with Mark Zuber in front of her blind husband Sanjeev Kumar who trusts her completely. One day, he comes to know the truth and decides to kill his wife for cheating him. But how can a blind person do it??

    RK Nayyars direction was competent and the film keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. There is one song picturised on Ashok Kumar in a fakir garb "Kisika dil jo todegaa khuda kya ussko chodegaa" and it is effectively used at various crucial points in the movie.

    Of the cast, Sanjeev Kumar was extraordinary as the blind avenger. This is one of his last films just before his death. Sarika looks gorgeous and pitches in a competent act. Mark Zuber is okay. Shatrughan Sinha surprises us in a comic role.

    I am not sure if this film was released in theatres extensively or not. I had seen it in early 90s on VHS.

    I strongly recommend Qatl to those who havent watched it yet. It is freely available on YouTube.

    Regards, Sumeet Nadkarni.
