Gumnaam (Urdu for "unknown" or "anonymous") is a 1965 Bollywood film directed by Raja Nawathe and starring Manoj Kumar, Nanda, Pran, Helen and Mehmood. The plot is an uncredited adaptation of Agatha Christie's novel, "And Then There Were None", and the title song "Gumnaam Hai Koi" borrows (again uncredited) from Henry Mancini's theme tune from the Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn movie, Charade. Music by Shanka - Jaikishan....The film came to wider attention when its opening dance item number Jaan Pehechan Ho (a Hindi phrase roughly translatable as "We should get to know each other") was featured in the film Ghost World.
