Mera Saaya (1966)
7/10
Great Story, poor direction
19 March 2020
Second film of Raj Khosla's trilogy of thrillers. The first one was 'Woh Kaun Thi? '. In many aspects the proceeding film is better than Mera Saaya. This one is slower in pace, not so captivating ,acting was substandard. But one thing that is done better in Mera Saaya is the ending, the suspense breaker. While the ending of Woh Kaun Thi kind of ruined the film, that in Mera Saaya was really satisfactory. And music of Mera Saaya was way better and less distracting. You see similar themes in many Hindi films but I still was not expecting it.

Talking of flaws, the court scenes are pathetic, the setup is childish, many unnecessary comedy scenes were there. No need to mention the technical aspects and camera work.

Among positives ,music by Madan Mohan was great, Mera Saaya and Naino me badra chaaye were pleasing to the ears but also have a haunting feeling. What makes this film watchable is it's story. This film should be remembered for it's writers and not the director .
