Khamoshh... Khauff Ki Raat

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.

Khamoshh strives to be a psychological thriller and honestly i was looking forward to its release. But all my expectations were marred when i watched this movie.

The biggest undoing of the movie is its editing department. The editor must be sleeping while doing his job. Because you can't tell whether you are seeing a flashback or the present situation in the film. The way the director tries to blend the present and the past is just ridiculous. The climax is a major letdown after the identity of the killer is revealed. The killer's identity will make you question the sanity of the director who puts no effort to make it appear convincing to the viewer.

If you've seen the Hollywood flick 'Identity', then you don't need to watch this film. I think the original wasn't that good either. Acting is weak except for the gorgeous Shilpa Shetty and the talented Juhi Chawla. But they don't get enough footage to prove their worth. The script is inane and weak.

There is only one song in this movie and is nothing to write home about. One word i would use to describe this film "stupid!!!". Don't waste your time watching it!

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.

Movie is very interesting from the start to end. I haven't seen the original movie Identity-from which this movie made. But this is much better than Mahesh Bhatt style seductive cloning of English thrillers. Only two songs bore us least and movie goes in nice flow. All relatively junior star caste has done good job, Rajiv Singh(his debut movie), Vrajesh Hirji, Vishwajeet Pradhan impress with their role. Shilpa Shetty got the role which she suits while Juhi has done her bit well. I wish Dipak Tijori could have played some role. I have special admiration for Rajivsingh, he looks smart and acted well for the first movie. End is bit strange and I would have liked some more reasoning of the way movie was ended.

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!
