Hitchcockian movies from Bollywood

Films like Anita (1967, Raj Khosla), Gumnaam (1965, Raj Nawathe), Woh Kaun thi? (1964, Raj Khosla), Baharon Ki Manzil (1968, Yakub Hasan Rizvi), Mera Saaya (1966, Raj Khosla) were heavily influenced and inspired by Hitchcock's films. They were so much inspired by Hitchcock that they even copied framing and background music from the original, apart from occasional plot similarities. There are two characteristics in these movies which were indigenous: first, melodious songs and second, comedy tract. The films, though entertaining, lack the masterful weaving of fears and desires in Hitchcock's movies.
