Hindi Full Movie Gumnaam

[Giraldo Allain]

Butconsidering this is a Bollywood adaptation of an Agatha Christie novel, there's still a whole lot of fun to be had - but a good amount of this also feels unbearably stretched too. The musical numbers (especially the aforementioned one) can be very fun, the comedy relief doesn't always work - at times also coming off as an annoyance, and the tonal shifts are often highly jarring too. Nevertheless, Gumnaam can feel very tense - which makes it a lot of fun to watch, but that's what one could really want from an adaptation of an Agatha Christie story.

Ignoring the dull murder mystery plot which cheats the ending, this is so fun. Every single one of the musical numbers is amazing. The dance sequence that opens the film is iconic, just watching the dancer is enough to give you a headache. The repeated siren song, a riff on Mancinini's theme for Charade is suitably haunting. Love the walking transition to that song too, really feels like they're entering into another world.

Everybody knows this film now thanks to the insane musical number, Jaan Pehechaan Ho featured in Ghost World, but what they probably don't realize is that the rest of the movie is an instant cure for insomnia. Ostensibly a murder mystery, the plot moves at a glacial pace in between the occasional upbeat dance number. The comedy relief, Mehmood, looks like the love child of Hitler and Moe Howard, and is about as entertaining. My advice is to watch Ted Lyon and His Cubs on YouTube, and skip the rest of this snoozefest.

reasons to watch this movie:

- campy fun mystery with predictable story elements and unpredictable everything else

- the "gumnaam" siren song haunting every other scene

- manoj kumar in a bucket hat (peak divvij kak energy)

- helen being cool and beautiful and unbothered by the serial killer hunting them down one by one (her job is beach!)

-

ending with the plane was anti-climatic and there were too many unnecessary songs to pad the runtime, but i had a lot of fun!

Hands down the most bonkers film I've seen all year. It's got that 60s Bond aesthetic going on - it is essentially a thriller based on an Agatha Christie novel, but it's also packed full of exciting musical numbers and extravagant sets in classic Bollywood style. The opening number which famously Enid is watching at the beginning of Ghost World is delightful. The rest of the film never quite lives up to it, but it does have a guy carrying a bottle labelled poison and a drunk and debaucherous party where they sing about alcohol tasting better than human blood. So like, you should probably watch this.

A fantastic Bollywood version of And Then There Were None. The characters are all great fun and the music is most groovy. There are many worse places to start if you're looking to explore Indian cinema.

Following dinner, Anand takes a torch and goes searching for Kishan. Asha accompanies him through the ruins scattered across the island. So there are two of them when they stumble onto Kishan, stabbed to death.

Oh, and the mysterious woman who sings Gumnaam hai koi? Another let-down. I expected this, the first time I watched Gumnaam, to end up being something along the lines of Woh Kaun Thi or Yeh Raat Phir Na Aayegi. But the explanation is, again, unfulfilling.

i love everywhere here, no complains. gumnaam never bores for a second. multi starer. whenever i see es duniya main jina ho toh i think they deserve death even if people are dying around them, they can also die but no they all are singing es duniya main jina ho toh. my anger immediately starts increasing.

while watching i realised when manoj kumar moral policing started he scolds nanda for drinking and says to helen that esko bhi zeher pila diya ?? in the climax we can see tarun bose saying goli ek hai aur aadmi do . similar dialogue in sholay.

Was Chaudhvin ka chaand ho ya aaftaab ho originally in colour? I recall watching the film (and seeing the song countless times) when I was a kid, and remember it in B/W, even though we had a colour TV. Could it have been coloured later? Or are there two versions floating around?
