Good spooky film
27 May 2023
Directed by Raja Nawathe, this old classic thriller is one of the best movies of Hindi cinema. It has a lot of good and exciting scenes that will give goosebumps. The element of mystery around the group of people will give you multiple reasons to watch it twice. The secrets of every individual are the best part of the movie. Some scenes will frighten you and will leave you fearful.

Actors like veteran senior actor Mahmoodji are worth praising. Initially, the charcter's overall appearance looked humorous but later the seriousness of the character will shake you. The dialogues of Mahmoodji will make you laugh and will keep you hooked till the end as if you are reading a 1000 pages mystery novel. Other main actors, senior veteran actor Manoj Kumarji and senior actress Nandaji did a commendable work and it will leave you impressed. The facial expressions are intimidating and the suspense around their character's spooky stories.

Songs: The songs are sung by Mohammed Rafi and Lata Mangeshkarji. Gumnaam hai Koi song is one of the chartbuster hit songs which can be remembered for many years. The music director is Jaikishan Dayabhai Panchal, Shankar Singh Raghuvanshi and lyrics by Hasrat Jaipuri.

Synopsis: A group of young people is asked to spend the weekend on a desolate island, but when they get there, neither the host nor the owner of the island is there, and the next morning, one of the party members is discovered dead.

Trivia: A 1943 Douglas C-47A-85-DL constructed for the US Airforce served as the aircraft used in the film. Construction #20012, Serial #43-15546. It had a lengthy international career before Kasturi and Sons, India (VT-DTS) brought it to deliver The Indu newspaper to remote locations. It was relocated to Nadargul Airstrip and put out of service; Flytech Aviation Academy now utilises it for ground training (2018).

This movie is unmissable. Do watch it.
