Humraaz [English: Our Secret] is a 2002 Bollywood romantic thriller film directed by duo Abbas-Mustan and produced under Venus Movies banner. Released on 5 July 2002, it stars Bobby Deol, Akshaye Khanna and Amisha Patel in lead roles. The film is inspired by Alfred Hitchcocks Dial M For Murder [1954] [remade in 1998 as A Perfect Murder] and was a hit in India.
Karan and Priya [Akshaye Khanna and Amisha Patel], madly in love, are the lead pair of a dance troupe. They land a gig on a cruise ship [destined for Malaysia] owned by a rich businessman named Raj [Bobby Deol].
Raj meets Priya on the cruise and is attracted to her at first sight. Raj does not know that Priya and Karan are in love. Raj quickly falls for Priya and she is totally swept off her feet. While Karan is unaware, Raj continues to romance and woo Priya. Eventually Raj proposes to Priya and she eagerly agrees to marry him.
Then right before the interval Priya and Karan both show their true colours. The story takes a twist when we find out that Priya and Karan have been scheming and plotting all along to take Rajs money.
And so begins a treacherous love triangle, where greed, ambition and love cause turmoil in the lives of Priya, Raj, and Karan.
Priya eventually marries Raj and continues to plot with Karan to get hold of the fortune. Then, unexpectedly, desires arise within Priya and she starts to develop feelings for Raj and falls in love with him. Raj eventually finds out about her treachery but forgives her and the climax is when Raj attacks Karan. In the end Priya picks up a gun and kills Karan and she and Raj get on with their lives.

The soundtrack of the film is composed by Himesh Reshammiya with lyrics provided by Sudhakar Sharma.
