    The hidden truth Gupt 10/10 Love this movie

    Outstanding movie

    A movie which was very ahead of its time. When people doesn't know the thing called thriller, it proved its mettle. No one is making such movies anymore :(

    Over 2 decades old, still yet to be matched

    Gupt is probably the best murder mystery film ever made in Bollywood in modern times. I don't think there's been any that superseded.

    The elements that make this such a great murder mystery are that the director Rajiv Rai directed classics like Yudh, Tridev, Vishwatma and Mohra, a great soundtrack by Viju Shah, top star cast of Bobby Deol, Manisha Koirala and Kajol and top supporting cast of Om Puri, Paresh Rawal, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Ashok Saraf, the famous villains Raza Murad, Prem Chopra, Sharat Saxena, Tej Sapru and Mukesh Rishi and, Raj Babbar and Kulbushan Kharbanda.

    The intro was a James Bond-style title card with a lady dancing and the locket, the item that leads to the murderer. I don't think there has been and still there's been a credits intro like this.

    None of the actors had any flaws in the film, everything was perfect.

    Even in 2018 it is a timeless classic.

    A great suspense thriller

    A movie in true Rajiv Rai tradition, Gupt is a big budget suspense thriller. The songs are well shot and the movie runs at a pace which manages to sustain interest throughout. Bobby plays a man wrongfully convicted for his father's murder and all evidence is against him. He escapes from prison and puts together all the clues to catch the real killer. Kajol acts well while Manisha looks cool. In fact she looks better than she has ever looked in all her recent movies. If you like well made Hindi masala movies, this is your movie.
