28 Years of Gupt: Rajiv Rai on casting, Kajol-Manisha dynamics and the twist that shocked a generation

Why Is Gupt one of the most beloved murder mysteries? Absolutely, Gupt is one of the most beloved murder mysteries in Indian cinema. And there isn’t just one reason for that — it’s a combination of elements. It’s the story, the tight screenplay, the suspense, and more importantly, the way it's treated.

There’s so much going on that you often forget h...
