Inspired by the Michael Douglas-Gwyneth Paltrow-Viggo Mortensen thriller, A Perfect Murder, Humraaz explores the darker side of humanity.

Specialists in edge-of-the-seat entertainment, director duo Abbas Mustan have acquired a formidable reputation after delivering consistent hits like Khiladi, Baazigar, Soldier and Ajnabee.

The troika of Humraaz -- Bobby Deol, Akshaye Khanna and Amisha Patel -- are in desperate need of a hit to salvage their careers.

After the disappointing performance of 23 March 1931 -- Shaheed, Deol faces the danger of being written off.

Post Dil Chahta Hai, Akshaye Khanna has a point to prove. Will he last?

A series of hits (Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai, Gadar -- Ek Prem Katha), followed a series of flops (Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar, Kya Yehi Pyaar Hai, Kranti, Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage). Amisha Patel needs one big hit.

The outcome of Humraaz will decide the fate of these three.
