Qatl | Murder And Murderer | The Critique

Qatl is a not-so-popular movie which can make you think that why didn’t this click. It is easily one of the better thrillers made in Bollywood. It has the Alfred Hitchcock feel and boasts of a fine performances by a seasoned Sanjeev Kumar and an impressive Shatrughan Sinha. Rated at 7.4 by 10 on IMDB, Qatl is a treat for all cine buffs.


Rakesh (Sanjeev Kumar) is a blind rich man. He loves his wife Rohini (Sarika) a lot. However, unsatisfied by a blind husband, she reaches out to his best friend Ranjeet and it converts into an intimate relationship. Rakesh’s nurse Sita, played by a subtle Ranjeetha, comes to know about the affair. It disturbs her and she feels very bad for Rakesh who is a very nice person. Suddenly, one day, Rohini is found dead at Ranjeet’s place. Inspector Shatru has been assigned to the task. Will he be able to find the murderer? Suspects: Rakesh who may or may not be aware of his wife’s affair. Sita, who likes Rakesh and wants to replace Rohini in his life. Ranjeet... the natural suspect; might have fought with Rohini and killed her in fit of rage.


Qatl boasts of a very strong cast and a very well drafted script. Though it lets a few ends open, hardly anything fizzles out easily. Director R.K. Nayyar made a brilliant movie. Kudos.
