"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)
