This is probably my favourite Dev Anand movie. I love everything about it - the fast paced plot that doesn't let you think, the songs, one lovelier than the other, Dev Anand (of course!), the new 'vamp' who went on to become one of my favourite actresses, the completely different (for those times) look and feel of the film. Guru Dutt had been experimenting with noir from his first film Baazi, so when he began his own production house with Aar Paar, he continued with its elements. C.I.D was directed by his assistant, Raj Khosla, whose independent directorial debut this was, and the latter continued in his mentor's footsteps. Unlike Kala Bazar or even Kala Pani, this film does not preach - not even a little. It is what it is - a good old-fashioned murder mystery, and you get to know very soon who the arch villain is. Then, it is the old cat-and-mouse until the very end.
