What happens

Raaz Ki Baat (Hindi for A Secret Matter) is a 1962 Indian Hindi-language mystery-drama film directed by Bolton C. Nagi. Produced by N. A. Yusuf with story by the director, screenplay and dialogue by C. L. Kavish, and music by Robin Banerjee, it stars Sujit Kumar, Simi Garewal, and Abhi Bhattacharya in lead roles. The film revolves around family tensions and mistrust triggered by a brutal assault on a family member. The film’s prominence arises from the role it played in the career paths of its lead stars. For Sujit Kumar, who would go on to become the first superstar of Bhojpuri films, Raaz Ki Baat marked the film where he made his debut role as a lead actor in a Hindi film. Simi Garewal, who would go on to become a director, producer, talk show hostess, and lead actress, made her debut in Hindi films in 1962 with the films Raaz Ki Baat and Son of India.
