What happens

12 O'Clock is a 1958 Indian neo-noir mystery thriller film starring Guru Dutt, Waheeda Rehman and Rehman. It was produced by G.P. Sippy and directed by Pramod Chakravorty. It was listed in Best Bollywood Noirs of 1950s by Filmfare, citing, "While Guru Dutt is as effective as ever and Waheeda looks suitably grief-stricken and confused, the film belongs to Rehman, who plays Bani's manipulative brother-in-law to perfection."
