Warning: Spoilers
Much before Humraaz(2002) which was a remake of A Perfect Murder(1998) which was a remake of Dial M for Murder(1954), Mukul Anand made Aitbaar which is a remake of Dial M for Murder. The film is a suspense thriller, and catches your attention like A Hollywood film from scene A,unlike Humraaz which changed A Perfect Murder and started off with romance,comedy.etc, Mukul Anand sticks to the original with a few changes here and there to suit Indian audiences. The film starts off brilliantly and keeps you on the edge throughout, with twists and turns startling you all over

Direction by Mukul Anand is good Music by Bhappi Lahiri is amazing, the songs are great and suit the theme

Raj Babbar does his part well though at times he hams, Dimple Kapadia who cameback the same year in 1985 with Saagar gives a good performance though her voice is dubbed by a dubbing artist, Suresh Oberoi is amazing, Danny Danzongpa plays an unusual inspector with a long moustache and speaks in a different dialect and does a good job, Anupam Kher has 1 scene as the lawyer, Sharat Saxena is good in his role rest are okay
