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

BAHAREN PHIR BHI AAYENGI is on one hand a classic love triangle and on the other the triumph of truth. Amita (Mala Sinha) the editor of a newspaper fires her young reporter Jiten (Dharmendra) for his story about some corrupt but influential builders only to discover that his report is true. She hires him back and secretly falls in love with him but finds out that Jiten is in love with her own younger sister Sunita (Tanuja). Meanwhile the pressure from the board of directors to fire Jiten mounts as his stories get too uncomfortably close to the truth... One of Guru Dutt's last films Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi was under production when he died in 1964 and his brother Atma Ram completed the film casting Dharmendra in Guru Dutt's place. Guru Dutt had initially asked S.D. Burman to compose the music for the film subsequently replacing him with O.P. Nayyar. (Interestingly the Kishore Kumar solo Yeh Dil No Hota Bechara from Jewel Thief was rejected as the theme song for his film!). Apart from sensitive performances by Dharmendra Mala Sinha and Tanuja the film's music is one of O.P. Nayyar's best scores with such hits as Baharen Phir Bhi Aayengi (Mahendra Kapoor) Aap Ke Haseen (Mohd. Rafi) & Who Hans Ke Mile Humse often rated as one of Asha Bhonsle's 10 best songs.
