Review of Dulaara

Dulaara (1994)
4/10
Aimless gory thriller
28 June 2011
I knew that the golden age of murder mysteries had died since the 1970s with BR Chopras and Raj Khoslas and Vijay Anand (who made classics like Kanoon, Gumnaam, Woh Kaun Thi, Ittefaq, Teesri Manzil and Dhund..) 1990s, the era of thus film, is not well known for murder mysteries and Dulaara proves exactly that..

Violence , cheesy obscenity, unappetizing gory bloodshed have substituted the fine art of pulse pounding, nail biting style of the old, unfortunately in this college caper where Govinda and Karisma with their dancing skills first try to impress and then, stupid, unnecessarily screaming fuming 'third degree loving' cop Ranjeet and ridiculous sidekicks like Rakesh Bedi make a thorough hash of the mystery story..

Final scene where the real killer is shown is quite ridiculously picturized ; when the killer had the hero in a corner and was under no pressure to confess how he did it, simply starts blurting out the long confession just for our sake saying " you wanted to know, how I did it , Na?"..This is quite an avoidable movie on any day..see a re-run of Kanoon or Dhund or Hamraaz any day...
