He's the man behind some of the most bizarre films in the horror genre in Bollywood. It's not surprising that Vikram Bhatt has been credited as the 'writer' of this silly-horror-fest. The much hyped 'threesome' between the three is a 'spirit'ed tug-of-war that leaves you baffled at the detailed stupidity.
The mystery of Meera's husband Jaidev (Gurmeet Chaudhary) is unraveled with an eye-popping (literally) 'twist'. The sexual tension between Meera and Kabir is consummated with a detailed lip-lock session. Kabir falls for the mysterious charm and captivating sensuality of Meera even though strange things happen in the hotel, like falling keys, a deviant photograph doing a vanishing act, or a coquettish fireplace alighting or cooling down surreptitiously. In search of a new story, Kabir travels to a scenic place near Srinagar (actually shot in South Africa) and lodges in a desolate hotel run by Meera (Sapna Pabbi). Kabir (Ali Fazal) is an alcoholic writer who is literally kicked where-it-hurts-the-most by an ex-girlfriend's husband into taking a new course for his life and to write another book. Only saving grace of KHAMOSHIYAN is a wonderful music score. Comparing this movie with yesteryear classic MAHAL will be an insult of the highest order. All you get is yawn-inducing spells of baseless silences. The makers took the title so seriously that there are hardly any actors in the film.
Karan Darra's KHAMOSHIYAN is a hauntingly boring movie. What happens when you are forced to scale the heights of gross absurdity? Well you are left with a black hole of damning 'silence' that leaves a gnawing pain in your mind.
