Shikar

(1968)

Ajit Singh (Dharmendra) is an estate manager whose employer-cum-friend, Naresh (Ramesh Deo) is murdered at his residence in the forest estate. The needle of suspicion points at Kiran (Asha Parekh) who is the daughter of a retired police commissioner, Sharma (Rehman) and who had come to Ajit's residence in a mentally and physically disturbed condition in the night in which the murder had taken place, only to disappear even more myseriously. Ajit alongwith the investigating police office, Inspector Rai (Sanjeev Kumar) makes attempts to reach the real murderer. Since he falls in love with Kiran, her turning out to be the murderer does not suit his sentiments. However he is convinced that she is not the murderer. The activities of an employee in the estate office, Veera (Helen) and a professional hunter, Robbie (Manmohan) are also suspicious. The twist in the tale comes when an old woman (Mridula Rani) confesses before Inspector Rai for this murder. The mystery is resolved in the ending scene amidst the hair-raising movements of wild animals.
