Wesley Lovell Cinema Sight Gumnaam is one of those films that exists as a compelling trifle, but whose content is cheesy at best and strange at worst. Check out the film if you’re curious, but don’t expect something revelatory. Rated: 2/4 Oct 10, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Nutty Bollywood horror/comedy riffs on everything from AND THEN THERE WERE NONE to the theme song (which sounds suspiciously like Henry Mancini's theme from CHARADE). Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member gumnaam hai koi.... badnaam hai koi.... the song scared the hell outta me!! lol Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Mehmood had a Unique style of making his Fans laugh and the charatism he played in this Movie has been copied by actors such as Aamir Khan, Sharukh Khan and even Amitabh Bachchan. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Let me just say that this Movie was not an Original Idea except the role of Mehmood. Whatever Manoj tried to convince the directors to remove Mehmoods role, and the back stabbing though today no one remembers how great Manoj was in the Movie. Thanks to Producer N.N.Sippy who ignored Manoj protest against Mehmood in the Movie. People remember Mehmood when they hear Gumnaam and the song "Hum Kaale hain to kya hua dilwale hain" translated "Even if I am Black I can admire too." Some people even have no Idea that there is Manoj or Nanda or Pran in the Movie. The big Stars 60`s Not many people know today but Originaly there was another song but there was a Phrase which Mehmood told the Directors to remove it because it would offend the Muslims, that is how the song "Hum Kaale hain to kya hua" was "born". The Original one was removed and this one was a big hit. <u>Too BAD for Manoj who kept saying the Movie and the song would be flop if they kept Mehmood. :))</u> However it is a nice Movie. Great location was chosen for the outdoor shooting. <b> A shame they removed many many Scenes with Mehmood. The fact is that Mehmoods appearence in this Movie is Legendary!</b> Many actors today copy the Madrasi Style of Mehmood from the Movie among other of Mehmoods Movie roles such as "Sabse Bada Rupiya" Mehmood had a phrase in the Movie "Saale teri driver Budda Jhaat Maru" Aamir Khan used it in the Movie Mela with a tiny bit short cut "Teri Jhaat Ka Baita Maru" One thing for sure Mehmood might had the same name in couple of Movie but his Character in every of his single Movies were Unique. <center>The Song:<div style="width:120px;font-size:10px;text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com/actor/mehmood-videos/Hum+Kaale+Hai+To+Kya+Hua+-+Mehmood%2C+Rafi+Song-11087830">Trailer: Gumnaam (Nameless)</a></div><a href="http://www.flixster.com/actor/mehmood-videos/Hum+Kaale+Hai+To+Kya+Hua+-+Mehmood%2C+Rafi+Song-11087830"><img src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ILgrhR9rjyM/2.jpg" border="0" /></a><div style="font-size:10px;width:120px;text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.flixster.com">Flixster</a> - Share Movies</div></center> Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review bill t After a delirious murder scene and musical number (you know the one) this movie settles down and tells the 10 Little Indians tale. This was ok. pretty stock characters though. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The beginning dance that is featured in Ghost World is the only part of this worth watching, so watch Ghost World instead. This was the first real Indian film I have seen, Slumdog Millionaire and Bride and Prejudice don't really count. The movie had some decent music but it dragged on and the answer to the mystery wasn't interesting or something you could have figured out, all it was is the killer is wearing a disguise. The beginning dance scene must have been hard to do everyone shakes their head back and forth so much I felt dizzy just watching it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
