Humraaz

The songs were the best part of the film.

Personally have always enjoyed the director duo's filmmaking style, and they don't disappoint this time either.This title might have not been a commercial blockbuster however it is an excellent work.The direction is outstanding as one would expect from this duo, casting was just perfect specially that of Bobby Deol playing the wealthy millionaire.Bobby Deol has proven himself once again that he is very much a capable actor with range. His new look, customs, dialogues, everything about him just works. His performance is fluid and effortless. The script has given his character so many shades and he does not fail portraying them on the big screen.The music has a few pleasant tracks except when the dance groups starts performing! Found it to be a bit silly and unnecessary.It is a movie that you can watch over and still enjoy every frame.An excellent work.

We've watched many great Bollywood movies... this is not one of them, it was a complete disappointment, after enduring 2 hours towards the ending, it just dragged on and on, completely useless repeats of dialog... I mean how many times do I need to hear the same thing. The ending was completely disappointing, violet and convoluted, it simply did not make any sense, it appears as though the producer ran out of time or money and had to end the story quickly. We were hoping this is would be another Bollywood movie to go on our good list, but unfortunately it was a total let down.

good movie

Humraaz is one Indian Hindi movie that makes us fans proud of Bollywood. Even though this film is close to 20 years old, the story is still fresh/fun/fantastic. Has excellent music, beautiful locations, and the classic qualities Bollywood is famous for. It's my favorite Romantic Thriller, because there has not been another Hindi movie of this genre since that compares. Three excellent actors who all acted their parts well. Movie also has the coolest grandmother that keeps up with technology. Has some good comedy, love the scene with Priya's(Amisha Patel) skirt where she first meets Raj(Bobby Deol) and the performance she did in front of the mirror/door. Bobby/Amisha pairing is one of my favorite because they have done several movies together and have one of the best onscreen chemistry. Akshaye acts negative roles well. The supporting cast also acted well and gave some good comedy. Movie shows the difference between unconditional love vs. transactional love, how greed/ambition can steer you in the wrong direction, how love can turn to hate when people are deceived/hurt. Highly recommend you watch it because you won't be disappointed.

This film was entertaining from beginning to end. The plot kept you guessing, whilst the end 'ninja' style scene was a bit unbelievable the rest of the acting and storyline was supurb. I would definately recommend it as an action movie with a little bit of romance.

Excellent

Definitely a good suspense thriller of Abbas-Mustaan. Akshay,Bobby n Amisha are Perfect in their characters. Shemaroo DVD quality is below the average, that's why cut 2 stars. Sound is better Compare to picture quality.

Video good, audio very good
