Kishore - Woh Shaam Kuch Ajeeb Thi - Khamoshi [1969]

Khamoshi (Hindi: ख़ामोशी, Urdu: خاموشی, translation: "Silence") is a 1969 black-and-white Hindi film directed by Asit Sen.

The film was shot in Calcutta. The director Asit Sen had earlier filmed the same story for the Bengali film Deep Jwele Jaai (1959) starring Suchitra Sen.

Cast; * Rajesh Khanna - as male lead * Waheeda Rehman - as female lead * Dharmendra - (brief role)

Director Asit Sen was different from the actor-comedian Asit Sen. Director Asit Sen acted in the original Bengali film Deep Jwélé Jaai (1959) in a role (the brief role in which Dharmendra appeared in Khamoshi) where the movie-goers actually could not recognise him because it was a dark scene marked with the baritone voice of Hemant Kumar. Later he revealed himself in an interview in the 1990s.

Music and Songs;

The music was composed by Hemant Kumar and some of the popular songs (written by Gulzar) of the movie are : * Tum pukar lo.. tumhaara intezaar hai (sung by Hemant Kumar) * Woh Shaam Kuch ajeeb thi.. yeh shaam bhi ajeeb hai (sung by Kishore Kumar) * Humne dekhee hai un aankhon ki mehekti khushboo (sung by Lata Mangeshkar)

Awards and nominations * Filmfare Best Cinematographer Award in the Black-and-White film category: Kamal Bose * Filmfare Nomination for Best Actress: Waheeda Rehman......................

Kishore Kumar was a prolific vocalist and sang in many Indian languages including Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Assamese, Gujarati, Kannada, Bhojpuri, Malayalam and Oriya. He is also widely regarded as the most versatile singer in the history of Indian cinema and a maverick of sorts for lending his voice to songs that did not conform to the norms of the day.

In October 1987, he died following a massive heart attack. He had been married four times and is survived by his two sons Amit Kumar, who made his career in playback singing in Bollywood and Bengali films, and Sumit Kumar.

@rakhejashubham Sorry. Thanks for the info. I was having the wrong fact for so many years!!!

[rakhejashubham]

@abhistrath @abhistrath Hey, you are confusing Asit Sen(the actor) with Asit Sen(the director). They are two different people.

[abhistrath]

In an era of coloured films, this came out in black and white made by a very talented comedian, Asit Sen. Great star cast and amazing story line into human psyche. Awsum and haunting songs.
