Khamoshi

Khamoshi is a 1970 black-and-white Hindi drama film directed by Asit Sen, starring Waheeda Rehman and Rajesh Khanna. It is especially remembered for its memorable music by Hemant Kumar and lyrics by Gulzar in songs such as "Tum Pukaar Lo... Tumhara Intezaar Hai" sung by Hemant Kumar, "Woh Shaam Kuch Ajeeb Thi" by Kishore Kumar and "Humne Dekhi Hai In Aankhon Ki Mehekti Khushboo" sung by Lata Mangeshkar. Though what really made this film stand out was the B&W cinematography by Kamal Bose, who won Best Cinematographer at the18th Filmfare Awards for his work in the film and received high critical acclaim for Rehman and Khanna's performances. The film is considered to be Rehman's finest acting feat, as she carries the entire film through her powerful-yet-understated acting; her performance earned her a Best Actress nomination at the same ceremony. The film was a moderate success at the box-office.
