action
The painter Dilip Roy comes home. There he is received by the prosecutor Khanna. The reason for this is the corpse of Dilip's wife Sushma. According to his sister-in-law Renu, Dilip is said to have committed the murder. She describes the incident: Dilip constantly neglected Sushma. He also rejects her on the wedding day. Instead of going out to dinner with her, he prefers to devote himself to his picture. Out of anger, Sushma tears up the picture and is strangled by Dilip shortly afterwards.
Dilip denies the act, but the evidence speaks against him. At the trial he goes completely crazy and is therefore put in the insane asylum. At the earliest possible opportunity, he escapes and hides makeshiftly in Rekha's house. Her husband Jagmohan is on a business trip, which is why Dilip keeps the housewife prisoner in her own house.
That night, Dr. Tridevi and Inspector Dawan search the area for Dilip. Rekha can get rid of them successfully. But when Dilip tries to hide in the bathroom, he discovers Jagmohan's body. Before he can deal with the shock, the corpse is gone again. Dilip is confused and almost thinks he is really crazy. It gets worse when they try to accuse him of Jagmohan's murder.
But after a few incidents, the truth emerges. It turns out that Rekha and Inspector Dawan were behind Jagmohan's murder. Her motive: Jagmohan constantly neglected Rekha, which is why she started an affair with the inspector. And Sushma didn't kill Dilip either, but his own sister. As the sole heir, Renu had hoped for her rich sister's money.

criticism
So it is a pleasantly tingling intimate play with few actors that does not obscure its stage origins. If you are looking for a Hollywood counterpart, it would most likely be something like Hitchcock's " Rope " - although not that exciting and clever. But “Ittefaq” is good. The plot remains exciting, the actors convincing, the staging fresh. (from molodezhnaja.ch)
