![]() Raj Babbar takes the cake for the best actor, if you ask me. This goes to show that our actors are very very talented and they just need good directors to bring out the best in them. "Aitbaar" is very well made as the actors have done a great job bringing out the characters in the movie really nicely. However, the cast could have been much better. Hitchcock's movie is very well made in terms of story, dialogues and direction in general. the characters in "Aitbaar" are m_uch more talented than the ones in "Dial M for Murder". "Dial M for Murder" is a fantastic movie and "Aitbaar" pretty much remade the movie scene by scene, dialogue by dialogue. Overall then, Aitbaar is a highly watchable suspense thriller which is worth watching and revisiting.Īs other have pointed out, it is a remake of "Dial M for Murder" directed by the greatest of all, Alfred Hitchcock. Suresh Oberoi is solid as Sagar, while Danny Denzongpa is excellent as the investigating officer. Raj Babbar does mostly a good job as the devious and calculating husband, though he is a bit hammy in some scenes. That she looks stunningly beautiful only helps and goes without saying. ![]() She is completely natural, and her fear, helplessness and uncertainty are aptly displayed. Confused, vulnerable and innocent, her Neha is quite different from the feisty and strong characters she does best, and Kapadia is more than effective playing the part. The acting is very good by one and all, and doubtlessly the film belongs to the ever gorgeous Dimple Kapadia, who makes for a great heroine. Obviously, it includes several songs, but they are mostly situationally relevant and most of them are beautiful anyway. It is definitely a different mainstream Hindi movie for its time, as it leans more on the script and has much less melodrama and sentimentality than one would expect to see. ![]() The script is taut and complex and the film is overall very well shot and directed, with good camera work and a suitably chilling score. ![]() Sadly and quite expectedly, the original source was not acknowledged by the makers, but the film is well attuned to an Indian context and is successfully gripping. Aitbaar is a remake of Alfred Hitchcock's 1954 classic thriller Dial M For Murder. ![]()
