Khamoshh... Khauff Ki Raat

I THINK ITS NOT A VERY GOOD REMAKE OF IDENTITY .BUT IT KEEPS YOU GUESSING TILL END . I HAVE WATCHED IDENTITY 11 TIMES , SO I CAN SAY IT COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER . BUT YOU CAN WATCH IT IF YOU ARE FED UP WITH TYPICAL BOLLYWOOD MOVIES.I THINK DEEPAK SIR DID A GREAT JOB, ALL CHARACTERS DID A GREAT JOB . OVERALL 7/10

Khamoshh... Khauff Ki Raat review :

Deepak Tijori's second directorial venture after the failed Oops (2003) was an unofficial remake of Hollywood psychological thriller Identity (2003). While the Hollywood original was a super chilling experience, Khamoshh...Khauff Ki Raat was filled with lacklustre performances, inept execution and a confusing narrative ending in an unsatisfactory climax. The sexy Shilpa Shetty with her super sensuality and oomph was the only redeeming factor, if you can count that!!

Woah! I just finished watching Khamoshh Khauff ki Raat! The movie was much better than I thought it to be. It's exactly like 'Identity' until the very end. I thought this one had a better ending. Of course the main reason why I watched it was Juhi and Shilpa and I'm glad that they shared the screen too! Anyway, Juhi plays a psychiatrist, a very sexy one! I mean she wasn't playing a seductress or anything like that but man, even as a dedicated psychiatrist, she can stop your heart from beating. I have yet to see a sexier psychiatrist in Bollywood cinema! Sridevi played one in Kaun Sachcha Kaun Jhootha but she wasn't really a dedicated psychiatrist because she went against the ethics by seducing Rishi Kapoor. Anyway, watch Khamoshh. It's really not as bad as people made it out to be! Next to Juhi, there's the amazing Shilpa who even performs an erotic foreplay number. Both actresses (as usual) performed well too besides being hot!

Despite having such a large star cast, Khamoshh fails to live up to expectations. Except for Shilpa Shetty and the girl who plays the famous actress, all the performances are not that impressive. The girl who keeps on saying "Hum sab marenge" is really irritating. The dangerous killer's "menacing" grins are quite comical. It's really sickening when the actual culprit is revealed. The movie also ends on an unpleasant note. However, one thing I did like about the movie is the fashion in which it is told. A shocking event occurs out of the blue, and then the film reverts to a flashback to explain that occurrence. Then, within that flashback the same thing happens resulting in a flashback within a flashback and so on. It's something very new in Bollywood. This technique does a good job in speeding up the pace of the movie.

Whoever said this was the same as Identity must have slept through Identity. All the characters in Identity are a figment in the crazed mind of the one real character. Khamosh Kauff Ki Raat is NOT like that. If anything, its less far out. I don't know that this is the best movie that any of these actors made, but I think that can be established without dragging out that tired weary criticism of metooism. I think the main thing to do is compare it to Identity. I'd say both movies are equally good or equally bad (or even equally mediocre). But Bollywood fans should just drop the copycat critique. It is not film criticism at all. If you think a movie is bad, you should at least do your homework and state in detail what made it that way. Don't take the lazy way out by calling it a copycat movie.
