Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Keemat arrived during Bollywood's spy-mania phase, riding the coattails of 007 fever but swapping martinis for masala. Dharmendra's Agent 116 became the unofficial template for desi superspies.
Ravikant Nagaich directed multiple Dharmendra spy vehicles; his visual obsession with reflective surfaces and extreme angles actually predates much of the 1970s Hindi noir look.
