Re: Humraaz 1 2 3 720p In Dual Audio Hindi

and unless there was some family debt the chopras had to repay to her family, no other reason why she should have been taken in hamraaz. that she is to be bumped off is weak. remember the hot janet leigh who is bumped off after 10 minutes in psycho and in an even more bloody manner.
Bald? Goodness, I had no idea. But that does seem a little unlikely, because I really wonder if any woman could have made it to lead actress (even if short-lived) with a drawback as massive as that. Hindi cinema tends to expect its stars to be flawless!
Hey Please excuse Vimi as it was her first movie. Though she is wodden, she is looking lovely. A must watch to see Sunil Dutt throughout the movie. The director has not given much time to out Jaani (Raj Kumar)
The ending scene is the best in which Sarika is seating in the top middle seat where Vimi used to sit as audience on the stage.
You should remember that she had no training in acting but I think she acted fine fairly well for her first film and her role did not demand any great acting talent. She was already married with two children at that time. Music director Ravi saw her in a party and thought she is perfect for the role of the heroine Mr. Chopra is looking for for his film and introduced her to B.R.Chopra who thought the same and offered her the role. I think she acted very well in the second half of the movie.
i watched the movie few days ago and felt same when i used to watch songs of humraaz. vimmi was wooden. no expression. kisi pathar ki murat was a true line. if sadhna ji or sharmila tagore would have been there the flim would have touched new heights.
Kalpana with her trade mark style with real tight salwaar kameez in all movies did a good job in Biwi Aur Makaan, it was Hrishida as the Director so he really got the best out of all characters in the movie, we enjoiied that movie thoroughly.
What a coincidence, I saw this movie last week practically back to back. I have a set of BR DVD, Gumraah, Hamraaz and Waqt. I love Hamraaz, for the very reasons you mention, its all so scenic and pretty. Vimmi is wooden, but pretty. She wears her clothes well and makes for a good eye candy. She had a pretty bad life post Hamraaz.
On a serious note, yep Mahendra Paajee def did not get the acclaim he deserved in my opinion, but despite that he went on and really sang a variety of songs from patriotic songs to peppy numbers to classical, off hand following comes to my mind, songs like-
Pls give me some time I will dig out Dekho dekh raha tha papiha from one of my discs, I got this quite some time back and with g8 difficulty, I have not been able to see it anywhere on the net. I will share with yu all via YT, it is a must hear.
If they just had put in a note for contraception in each of this films, it owuld have helped a lot!
even the pope is talking about it now!
but then, the hindi films then and even now are of the same opinion like Bush jr. that no sex is the best contraception!
I would always rate Humraaz, along with Mera Saya and Ittefaq as one of the better suspense movies made ever in mainstream Hindi cinema, They came within 3 years of each other, and since then has been a bit of a dry spell.
Btw, I know Randhir very well. I can recognise him easily. I think he may have occasionally played the pujari role but not as often as Narbada Shankar. Randhir often came in a negative role, like a scheming money-lender or henchman of the main villain.
I have forgotten which thread it was where we were discussing Radheyshyam. I know him as a 50s actor and while I was listening to some Geeta Dutt songs I suddenly happened to find him in this clip at the beginning.
It is from Lajwanti, a 1958 film.
Yes I am trying to remember. One film that I can think of is the actor who played a pujari in Johny Mera Naam. He appears towards the end when Hema Malini is forced to steal the jewelery, if you have seen the film you will know. This actor is the one I am referring to, I have seen him in a number of films. Was he Randhir? No clue.
I can say with certainty that it is Radheshyam in Johny Mera Naam, saw this movie many months ago. Narbada bhai was not there, but Mesaabs AIG, Page 9, Artists from 1960, we have Randhir bhai, at least my d/l of this AIG says so, I d/l this a few months back so he cud be on Page 10 now as Memsaab updates regularly.
I read some pretty alarming stuff about Vimi online. She had a tough life owing to her acting inability it seems. I recall my dad telling me when we were watching Humraaz some years ago of how she died completely penniless and possibly committed suicide. There was some info on the web that she **allegedly** took to sex work to survive and pay for her alcoholism. Very very sad indeed if true!
Be it Raj bhai or Vimi ben or Pradeepda or Bharat Bhushan Paajee, they all were unique in the sense they had their own style, we can term them under any category we may .. wood,stone, diamond,iron :), and if we look at the Comedians of that era.. again no1 copied any1, they did not need to as each was original in his own way.
LOL!
Let alone two toned shoes, I think just plain white ones were quite an eyesore too. Wait! Is it because it brings to mind the picture of a tight panted(is that a word?) Jeetender wearing them? :-D
I had to come back and adv that this song, one of them from a entertainer of a movie FASHIONABLE WIFE has this wonderful song, a duet with Geetadi Dutt, this movie is also one of my favorites (of 1001 LOL), do check out, yu will like the beat n lyrics-
Thank you! Lovely song, very O P Nayyar. I have seen this film, but it was such a bad spy thriller, that I seem to have mentally blanked out even the songs, which I now realise are actually very nice. :-)
You know something DO, I was quite surprised yday, I was refreshing ye Golden Era and watched Hariyali Aur Rasta, the movie was a super musical as we all know, but on checking YT I noted we have video clips of all songs of this phillum except one ? (audio is there), and that is Paajees-
if it is the former from my reply, for sure a superb compilation, thats why I am seeing Hariyali Aur Rasta for umpteenth time. This movie had the super duo Shankar Jaikishan with the magic baton with ably assisted by Dattaram Bhau and Sebastian, the SJ loyalists !
Yer bang on Pacifist, my error, I thought the link was same as the one for Yaaron ki Tamanna Hai, therefore I did not click and check, no doubt its a fab number, both from Kahin Din Kahin Raat, movie in my collection and seen it 5 times, already (main pagal nahin hoon mera dimaag kharab hai :) with a combo of S H Bihari Saheb and O P Saheb, it is bound to be a super hit.
Mahendra kapoor ne bahut accha gaaya jo log unper unglo utha rahe hei wo saayad sangeetr ko jaante hi nahi. Mahendra kapoor ne Jabardast hit gaane gaye hei,
or jo log VIMMI KE BAARE MEI BOL RAHE HEI WO JAANTE NAHI KI vIMMI JAISI beautiful acctress aaj tak industry mei nahi hai
We were in boarding school, with Doordarshan for company. Saturday night movies were something we could watch staying up late. I did not see this one in full, but my friends were narrating the story and I told them its based on an old film.
i think vimmi personal life was more responsible for her fate than her professional ones. like so many heroines in our industry belong to well do family and some have came from middle class and lower middle class. one heroine said hum chtaai par sotey thay. if she had progressive family and good husband than it would have been easy. when i see children struggling for even food, clothes and shelter cause they are born to poor parents and some children having lavish lives cause born to rich ones then it leads me to wonder about fate, destiny and karma.
i am deeply pained after reading the article and its true that i have read it in hindi newspaper too which looked blunt to me cause of hindi is my first language. even in humraaz review of dd news stated about attitude over safalta and asafalta. i wish she would have never entered films. quoting shashi kapoor shashi ji said heroine sirf apney khoobsurati par hi nahi apney acting par bhi dhyaan dey.
One thing that I could not understand after watching the full movie is why Meena is shown as frightened out of her wits by spotting someone wearing two-toned shoes because she comes to know of the identity of that person (wearing two-toned shoes) the next day only when he calls her over phone. In that party, she met only Captain Mahendra (and that too later). Did she happen to see the face of that two-toned shoes wearing person also which might have frightened her ? At least the explanation of the various intriguing events and actions of Meena furnished by the narrator (through flashback) in the penultimate sequence of the movie does not confirm it. You can throw some light on it and clear my doubt.
