  Noir, Indian style: that in a nutshell is Raj Khosla's classic crime thriller C.I.D. (1956). Dev Anand plays the intrepid C.I.D Inspector Shekhar who is trying to solve the murder of a newspaper editor. On the way to achieving this he comes across a variety of stock film noir characters including a do-gooder with a dark side, a vamp with a heart of gold and a bumbling sidekick. All the elements of the genre are present, from the enigmatic woman to the cigarette-puffing hero to the tough police commissioner. And of course our hero finds true love as well. Produced by cult actor/director Guru Dutt, C.I.D. is a worthy companion piece to the Dutt-directed hit Baazi (1951) which explored similar territory. Cinematographer VK Murthy, who is now revered as one of the best ever, creates a shadowy, smoky world that perfectly frames the on-screen happenings. What makes it uniquely Indian is the introduction of several popular songs that enhance rather than disrupt the narrative. The suave Dev Anand is more of a soft-boiled detective than a hard-boiled one. But what makes the film memorable is Waheeda Rehman's vamp who is as coy, sexy and mysterious as they come. On the DVD: C.I.D. on DVD comes with a note that says "reproduced from vintage source for the sake of nostalgic appeal, hence possibly compromising on quality". Happily, the quality is quite good barring a couple of dropouts near the beginning. The black and white transfer is not as crisp as it could be, but given the state of film preservation in India it is quite acceptable. The subtitles are accurate. The best feature on the DVD is Nasreen Munni Kabir's three-part Channel 4 documentary "In Search of Guru Dutt" which is a comprehensive and fascinating look into the life and work of C.I.D.'s producer. --Nanan Ramachandran

  Set in the 16th Century India, Baaz is the story of Prince Ravi (Guru Dutt) who lives with his mother the Queen, in Malabar. Since the Portuguese traders have practically begun to rule the state, the royal family has been reduced to mere figureheads. Nisha (Geeta Bali) is the daughter of a revolutionary who, along with her father, is arrested by the Portuguese and sold as slaves on a ship. Witnessing the killing of her father, she becomes a revolutionary herself, fights the Portuguese, takes over the ship and ultimately becomes the leader of her group. Each time she attacks, a Baaz (falcon) comes and sits on her shoulder and hence her group is named BAAZ. Meanwhile, Prince Ravi is travelling by a Portuguese ship to Portugal to get crowned by their Queen. Nisha and her group attack the ship but Ravi is unharmed because he is Indian. Nisha also realises that he is the same man she had met on an earlier occassion when sparks flew... The attraction, ignited again, is mutual and Ravi not only romances her but also helps her to come ashore and start to fight against the Portuguese, not revealing his royal identity. Will Nisha ever get to know? How will she reconcile her love and her mission? Baaz marked the beginning of Guru Dutt's remarkable career as an actor and filmmaker and his long association with music director O.P. Nayyar, who scored for this film evergreen hits like Zara Saamne Aa, Har Zabaan Ruki and the Talat Mehmood song Mujhe Dekho Hasrat Ki.
