Review of Humraaz

Humraaz (2002)
Good film that deserves to do well
19 October 2002
After all the tripe such as K3g and the like, along with Company Humraaz is one of the better efforts from Bollywood this year. Slick production with a Hollywood inspired script, this film is far more gripping for its 3 hours. With good acting by bollywood standards (Amisha Patel doesnt have to cry!! yippeee!!!)and well placed songs in context of the film (Bardaasht is admittently the stand out track with a fair few fillers), Humraaz is a winner. The backgroud score is exceptional and compliments the on-screen action. This film could have benefitted from a slightly bigger budget because one gets the feeling that the directors had cut alot of corners in the filming of this film, due to lack of money. However, they should be praised for trying somthing different and not palming us off with the dire Chopra/Johar love triangles. Humraaz is what the indian film industry should be striving for.
