I knew that the golden age of murder mysteries had died since the 1970s with BR Chopras and Raj Khoslas and Vijay Anand (who made classics like Kanoon, Gumnaam, Woh Kaun Thi, Ittefaq, Teesri Manzil and Dhund..) 1990s, the era of thus film, is not well known for murder mysteries and Dulaara proves exactly that..

Violence , cheesy obscenity, unappetizing gory bloodshed have substituted the fine art of pulse pounding, nail biting style of the old, unfortunately in this college caper where Govinda and Karisma with their dancing skills first try to impress and then, stupid, unnecessarily screaming fuming 'third degree loving' cop Ranjeet and ridiculous sidekicks like Rakesh Bedi make a thorough hash of the mystery story..

Final scene where the real killer is shown is quite ridiculously picturized ; when the killer had the hero in a corner and was under no pressure to confess how he did it, simply starts blurting out the long confession just for our sake saying " you wanted to know, how I did it , Na?"..This is quite an avoidable movie on any day..see a re-run of Kanoon or Dhund or Hamraaz any day...

I saw this movie long time ago when i was a kid and ever since then i enjoyed Govinda's movies, still do! Out of EVERY movie i've seen i must say that Dulaara along with Khuddaar are both One of the Best movies! Govinda acted very well in this movie in which he is an orphan raised by Farida Jalal. It's just such a pity that this movie was not rated well enough, instead of being a HIT it turned down as one of the 'Ok/Good' movies but i strongly disagree with that decision, this movie deserved to be a HIT and still does, so regardless of what the outcome was for this movie i would still recommend everybody to see it. When and If you do see it you will realize how great this movie is and how much you enjoyed watching it. If you have not seen this movie yet then i would strongly recommend you to watch it! a true classic movie which cannot be missed!

I watched this movie with my family on 'DOORDARSHAN' Friday night at 9:30PM WOW, my childhood memories have revived while writing about this movie. So, if you want to watch a mystery thriller film with some comedy and romantic scenes then this movie will not disappoint you believe me according to that time this movie has all the thrilling elements that you are looking for I am shocked to see the IMDB rating of this movie believe me it's a underrated movie and this movie deserves more rating. So, at the end I just want to say that if you watch this movie then you will not disappoint and the when you will see the real culprit then you will get a shock for sure.

One of the few Hindi movies from the 90s with a solid thrilling plotline. Govinda is excellent and his relationship with his mother Farida Jayal is beautiful.
