Khamoshi(1969) : Watch it for Waheeda and Gulzar's poetry


Have been listening some of the best songs (since the time I could remember listening to music) like "Tum pukar lo" and "Woh shaam"..and realized that they all happens to be from "Khamoshi (1969)". Credits of the movie were crowded with awe-inspiring biggies. There I found some of the best artists behind its making. Waheeda Rehaan's charming presence and Hemant Kumar's melody makes each of its song a haunting number. "Sirf ehsaas hain ye" is also a gem of poetry by Gulzar less likely to found in mainstream Hindi movies. But one sure feels the pace of things matching to late sixties and one cannot deny that fact that it was one of the forward looking cinema for its times. Watching Waheeda makes me dig down for her best flicks. No doubt she gave some of the classics like 'kaagaz ke phool' and 'Pyaasa'.
