GURU DUTT FILMS PVT. LTD. PRESENTSC.I.D.PRODUCED BY GURU DUTT DIRECTED BY RAJ KHOSLA MUSIC O. P. NAYYARSTARRING DEV ANAND * SHAKILA * JOHNY WALKER * KUM KUM * K. N. SINGHKhosla's first successful film, made in the crime movie tradition of Navketan inflected by Guru Dutt's influence. Police Inspector Shekhar(Anand) investigates the death of a newspaper editor when he meets Rekha (Shashikala), the daughter of the commissioner (K.N. Singh). Shekhar keeps running into a mysterious woman (Rehman) who, in a cloak-and-dagger encounter, tries to bribe him to release a crook. He meets her again at Rekha's birthday party. The crook she wants released is mysteriously killed in jail and Shekhar is blamed for police torture. He goes into hiding, pursued by the murderer he was investigating as well as by the police. He eventually solves the case in hospital. The film is dominated by Rehman's luminous presence in her first Hindi role, the camera enhancing her mystery with soft-focus over-the-shoulder shots. Her sensuality is particularly well rended in the scenes where she tries to seduce the crime boss (with the song Kahin pe nigahen) in order to facilitate the hero's escape.

Review on the Movie C I D.
This is the 1956 version of the movie by Guru Dutt who has produced very many others and taken leading roles in such as Pyasa, Aar Paar and Saheb Bibi Aur Gulam. C I D naturally has the incidents of crimes and needs patience to follow and understand the events .Has lots of hit songs during the outdoor shooting in the beautiful city of Mumbai affectionately the Gateway to India especially via Cruise Liners such as SS Karanja, SS Uganda and many more. Resolution and contrast are not so much of high quality to be average over all. But the audio is very clear and of high quality. You may have to adjust the settings on LCD/LED versions. Played by some of the best of the Film Industry of India.
