Once me and a bunch of cousins were watching it late at night in a government bungalow in Ranchi surrounded by a huge garden, and to this day one of my cousins swears she really did see a hand creeping in through the loo window. It was quite an exciting night, and i can still recall it vividly. Subsequent watches haven't been that exciting, but I still think it's a pretty good whodunit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-77321589524678133272009-03-08T02:36:00.000+05:302009-03-08T02:36:00.000+05:30I know the two are not even in the same cinematic ...I know the two are not even in the same cinematic planet... but this reminded me eerily of the Charlie Kaufman-written "Adaptation" where the central character(played by Nicholas Cage) is a writer called....Charlie Kaufman!Aditya Mani Jhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13288886815027491282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-11428486452346949612009-03-07T22:37:00.000+05:302009-03-07T22:37:00.000+05:30"... co-writers include Sudhir Mishra (who also pl..."... co-writers include Sudhir Mishra (who also plays a small role), Saeed Mirza and Kundan Shah..."<BR/><BR/>Piece of trivia- Kundan Shah named the lead characters in Jaane bhi do yaaro after his buddies (Vidhu) Vinod and Sudhir (Mishra) from FTII.A.R.Malikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07730096265453916468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-58909252524682397842009-03-07T22:35:00.000+05:302009-03-07T22:35:00.000+05:30Khamosh also had supposedly witty insidewr jokes (...Khamosh also had supposedly witty insidewr jokes (Shabana Azmi reading Godfather just before discovering a slit chicken head in her bed)...A.R.Malikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07730096265453916468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-51468519768521646282009-03-07T05:43:00.000+05:302009-03-07T05:43:00.000+05:30Might I suggest watching his oscar nominated short...Might I suggest watching his oscar nominated short as well! <BR/>And Sazaye Maut is available as a DVD on T-Series.

It has the nicest bit of self referencing, with Amol and Smita, the 180 odd mins long film has quite a fair share of great moments but those 18 seconds or so takes the cake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-34228103228068414162009-03-06T16:39:00.000+05:302009-03-06T16:39:00.000+05:30Brilliant Title mate!Brilliant Title mate!Aayushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07703706945195344880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-24088967446404922002009-03-06T10:47:00.000+05:302009-03-06T10:47:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by the author.Anu Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02462245270908456017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8204542.post-86668708049533511762009-03-06T09:59:00.000+05:302009-03-06T09:59:00.000+05:30Ditto to being scared out of my wits when I watche...Ditto to being scared out of my wits when I watched Khamosh back then.
