Movie Review: Khamosh: Khauff Ki Raat (H)

Genre: Thriller

Plot Outline:

An accident involving a movie star’s car and a family on a stormy night starts off a chain of events where ten strangers including a rich prostitute, a cop transporting a criminal, and a couple on their way to honeymoon are forced to stay at a desolate wayside logde manned by a cranky receptionist. Soon terror starts with mysterious killings in a nail biting suspense.

Comment:

Khamosh is a direct lift from Hollywood’s Identity (2003). After Deepak Tijori’s previous flop Oops, he needs to say ‘Oops’ this time again coz this movie is already out of the movie halls. Performance apart, although a lot of people might not have seen ‘Identity’, Khamosh can be described as a good effort in portraying ‘Khauf’ on screen. The suspense is carefully built through the story. The final let-off however, comes with a badly scripted and shoddily executed ending. The movie wouldn’t have cost much considering the second rung star-cast with the exceptions Shilpa Shetty and Juhi Chawla. Music is listless and the songs are irrelevant.

Rating: 2/5 – Don’t watch it till the End
