Carrying
with it an intriguing tagline of “Between the three… they
share a secret”, Humraaz takes its
inspiration (A Perfect Murder) and
throws in desi thrills and suspense.
Humraaz is a thriller revolving around
Karan (Akshay Khanna), Priya (Amisha
Patel) and Raj (Bobby Deol).
Karan and Priya head a band of sorts, through their progression in
singing they fell in love. They get their big break when they are
offered a job at a big exotic boat courtesy of rich man Raj.
Needless to say they take the offer.
But as Raj is pleased with the talent
of this band that he has hired, he is also growing heavily
attracted towards Priya. And seeing green with naivety, Priya does
not hesitate to respond equally. Now the budding relationship that
once occurred between Karan and Priya is now revived with Priya
and Raj, unknown to Karan. That is far from the end (let alone the
middle) of the film and what unfolds are a number of twists of
turns, which deserve to be kept secret for the sake of this review
and for the film itself. On a simpler note, this time, a Hollywood
script has been perfectly played in Hindi cinema, all the way to
the end.
