Review of Raat Aur Din

Raat Aur Din (1967)
10/10
a psychic masterpiece
8 October 2007
this is a unique effort from Indian cinema which convincingly portrays a woman suffering from a double identity crisis with one of the best performances ever given by the lead actress ,who plays the split personality with an ease that looks casual but is an artistic triumph of the highest order,she is supported by a cohesive script with great dialogues and a haunting musical score with some great musical numbers as well as great choreography and camera-work ,for once the musical numbers enhance rather then interfere with the psychological milieu of this dramatic thriller and the director succeeds in creating a psychic classic out of a love story with astonishing verisimilitude ,fully deserving of it's national and international awards this puts modern day cinema to shame by it's sheer intelligence and craftsmanship.the monochrome enhances the mood of this unique effort to make it absolutely memorable .
