Super Star Rajesh Khanna's Khamoshi - 1969
.jpg)
Introduction :
Khamoshi (Hindi: ख़ामोशी, Urdu: خاموشی, translation: "Silence") is a 1969 black and white Hindi film directed by Asit Sen, starring Super Star Rajesh Khanna and Waheeda Rehman. It especially remembered for its songs with haunting music by Hemant Kumar and some haunting lyrics by Gulzar. Though what really made this film stand out was the black and white cinematography by Kamal Bose, who won the Filmfare Award for its work. The film is considered Waheeda Rehman's finest acting feat, as she carries the entire film through her powerful yet understated acting, she received a Filmfare nomination for it.
The film was shot in Calcutta. The film is based on Bengali short story titled, 'Nurse Mitra' by noted Bengali writer, Ashutosh Mukherjee,and is an almost frame by frame remake of director Asit Sen's own Bengali film, Deep Jwele Jaai (1959) starring Suchitra Sen.
A Hollywood remake of the film, Silence, has been planned. It will be directed by Sanjay Patel and is rumoured to star Jennifer Aniston in the lead 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, which was essayed by Dharmendra 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.
Summary :
Colonel Sahab is a doctor in a psychiatry ward and Nurse Radha (Waheeda Rahman) is heart-broken after a civilian patient, Dev Kumar (Dharmendra), whom she cared for, pouring out her love and affection, leaves the hospital, as she had been unable to keep her heart separate from her professional work and had fallen in love with her patient. Next Arun Choudury (Rajesh Khanna), a writer and poet enters as a patient, suffering acute mania after being rejected by his lover, Sulekha. After refusing to take his care, Radha relents and starts nursing him. In between while caring for Arun she reminisces her past and tells a story of how she took care of injured brave army soldiers when she was posted in Laddakh during the Sino-Indian war of 1962.
Gradually Arun gets cured by the love of Nurse Radha, who yet again falls hopelessly in love with her patient. Unable to hide from the truth yet unable to face it, Radha herself goes insane and is admitted to the same clinic. Arun, promises to wait for her until she recovers, finding no other options that he could choose to make her better again.

Lyrics :
Vo shaam kuchh ajib thi, ye shaam bhi ajib hai

Na jaane kyoon lagaa mujhe, ke muskuraa rahi hai vo
Vo shaam kuchh ajib thi ...
Meraa kayaal hain abhi, jhuki hui nigaah mein
Khuli hui hansi bhi hai, dabi hui si chaah mein
Main jaanataa hoon, meraa naam gunagunaa rahi hai vo

Lyrics :
Hamane dekhi hai un aankhon ki mahakati kushaboo
Haath se chhoo ke ise rishton kaa ilzaam na do
Sirf ehasaas hai ye rooh se mahasoos karo
Pyaar ko pyaar hi rahane do koi naam na do
Hamane dekhi hai un aankhon ki mahakati kushaboo
Haath se chhoo ke ise rishton kaa ilzaam na do
Hamane dekhi hai
Pyaar koi bol nahin, pyaar aavaaz nahin
Ek kaamoshi hai sunati hai kahaa karati hai
Na ye bujhati hai na rukati hai na thahari hai kahin
Noor ki boond hai sadiyon se bahaa karati hai
Sirf ehasaas hai ye rooh se mahasoos karo
Pyaar ko pyaar hi rahane do koi naam na do
Hamane dekhi hai un aankhon ki mahakati kushaboo
Haath se chhoo ke ise rishton kaa ilzaam na do
Hamane dekhi hai
Muskuraahat si khili rahati hai aankhon mein kahin
Aur palakon pe ujaale se jhuke rahate hain
Honth kuchh kahate nahin, kaanpate honthon pe magar
Kitane khamosh se afasaane ruke rahate hain
Sirf ehasaas hai ye rooh se mahasoos karo
Pyaar ko pyaar hi rahane do koi naam na do
Hamane dekhi hai un aankhon ki mahakati kushaboo
Haath se chhoo ke ise rishton kaa ilzaam na do
Hamane dekhi hai
