Review of Khamosh (1986) by Abhilash A — 28 Jun 2013
A 1985 classic thriller from Vidhu Vinod Chopra. The movie is about a series of mysterious murders among a film crew at Pahalgam starring Shabana Azmi, Amol Palekar portraying themselves.
I always believe that the Back ground score has a definite role in good movies especially a suspense thriller like this one. Its clear that the director was inspired by Hitchcock style of movies and other Hollywood classics. Some of scenes are real good. But he refused to take the credit away from them. He even had an old black television set showing a screaming Janet Leigh concurrently with Shabana's shower scene... and shows a copy of the novel 'The Godfather' prior to a scene where Shabana Azmi discovers the carcass of a dove under her covers. I'm a bit surprised that no one has ever told me about this movie. Neither a mention among the Bollywood classics. I just got curious when I happened to watch some of the scenes from Doordarshan. And my bro got this movie as per my request. Definitely its Worth a Watch.
