Featured reviews
This movie has a good cast and songs(Tum Agar Sath Daine Ka Vaada Karo)(Naa Mun Chuppa Ke Jiyo).Although the movie was a hit at its time but the main flaw is its direction.Initially the film seems to be a love story which then changes to an unfaithful type story and then to a mystery type of movie.Sunil Dutt gives a good performance as a man trapped under a mystery.Raaj Kumar also gives a good performance though his character is of no appeal or anything.The end of the movie is very strange and the presence of Raaj Kumar was not even needed in my opinion.On the whole the movie can be given 6 because of its good songs and some appealing thrilling moments but still direction really decreases it value.
Good star cast. Interesting story. Very well made movie with excellent songs.
First off i must say that this movie soundtrack is one of the best soundtracks of the 60's. The story is very catchy and will keep you entertained through the entire movie. Most of the cast acted well, Sunil Dutt being the best. Sunil Dutt is very convincing as kumar, while vimmi could have been better. I felt as if a better actress was casted as her character the movie would have been better (ex. asha pareh, sadhana or saira banu). Raaj kumar did well in a short but sweet role and Mumtaz as always was very pleasant to watch. Anyone who likes mysteries will love this one....will all the being said i believe that the movie is worth a watch...i give it 7/10.......very good.
Hamraaz meaning confidante is a suspense movie directed by B.R.Chopra, known for his movies like Naya Daur,Sadhna,etc.Hamraaz is one of his best movies.
It is about Meena,daughter of an army general who secretly marries Rajesh an army officer without telling her father about it.On the day of their marriage Rajesh has to leave to the border upon declaration of emergency.Later she gets the news of his death.
She becomes pregnant with his child which supposedly dies after birth.She is then married of to Kumar,a renowned actor from Mumbai.Four years later Meena's past seems to have come back to her life and one day she get's murdered.The solving of this murder forms the rest of the story.
The direction is good.The camera work,music and art direction stand out. Amongst the actors,Sunil Dutt,Raaj Kumar and Mumtaz stand out.Vimi is unimpressive.The supporting cast comprising of Achala Sachdev,Jeevan, Madan Puri,Iftekhar,Jagdish Raj,Nana Palsikar,Manmohan Krishna,Balraj Sahni,etc are all good.Madhumati and Manohar Deepak have danced extremely well in the song 'Na mooh chupake jiyo'.
The movie could have been faster.Though not boring,the appearance of all the songs within the first one hour becomes quite monotonous.But the songs are very melodious.They have been well sung and well composed.
Overall,the movie is good and a must watch.

A classic...very well made thriller movie by none other than B R Chopra. This is certainly one of the best of the that times. Music, thrills, suspense, everything was perfect. Sunil Dutt, Raj Kumar and Sadhna were just perfect in their respective roles.
Music is a great strength of the movie and some of the songs are iconic.
