Plot Outline: An accident involving a movie star's car and a family on a stormy night starts off a chain of events where ten strangers including a rich prostitute, a cop transporting a criminal, and a couple on their way to honeymoon are forced to stay at a desolate wayside Logde manned by a cranky receptionist. Soon terror starts with mysterious killings in a nail biting suspense.

Comment: Khamosh is a direct lift from Hollywood's Identity (2003). After Deepak Tijori's previous flop Oops, he needs to say 'Oops' this time again as this movie is already out of the movie halls. Performance apart, although a lot of people might not have seen 'Identity', Khamosh can be described as a good effort in portraying 'Khauf' on screen. The suspense is carefully built through the story. The final let-off however, comes with a badly scripted and shoddily executed ending. The movie wouldn't have cost much considering the second rung star-cast with the exceptions Shilpa Shetty and Juhi Chawla. Music is listless and the songs are irrelevant.

The night when this happened was a stormy night with fearful weather conditions when strangers came together to a motel. Various people who were by passing through this highway when the weather was giving way got diverted to this motel, which seemed to be their only hope for survival through such unforeseen circumstances.

A family encounters a flat tire while they are traveling on a highway. Due to the stormy weather conditions they meet with a fatal accident wherein the wife is brutally hit. They are left with no choice but to take her to the nearest available place where they can find some medical aid. But to their misery they are brought to this motel where their life undergoes trauma.

Also arriving in the same motel is a young couple Avinash-Mahek (Rajiv Singh-Kainaaz) who were on the way to their honeymoon. Due to the unfortunate weather conditions, they get diverted to the same motel. Others who arrive at the motel include a prostitute - Sonia (Shilpa Shetty), a Starlet - Kashmira (Rakhi Sawant) whose car earlier bumped off the woman and her secretary.

The receptionist Adi (Vrajesh Hirjee) somehow manages to accommodate all of them, in various rooms.

After having the guests stationed in respectable rooms, another car comes in due to unforeseen weather conditions wherein a cop - Jatin (Shahwar Ali) is on his way to another prison. He is transferring one of the convicts (Kelly Dorjee), who is along with him, to another prison. He is also eventually given a temporary shelter in this Motel, where in the convict is brought in the room, wrapped in handcuffs.

Alls well till a point of time until murders start happening at this Motel. One after the other they find each one being killed by a person or a spirit. The mystery of deaths unveils with each guest being killed by somebody and their room keys are placed to ensure the guest count.

The fear amongst everyone embarks with doubts encroaching them. Each one gets furious over the happenings, and wants to escape death.

Thus the film is a psychological thriller, where the audience is on the edge of their seat. Hunting for the hunted.

Is it a person, a spirit, a soul, a ghost? The film also stars Juhi Chawla, Rajat Bedi, Vishwajeet Pradhan, Avtar Gill, Raju Shreshta and Gargi Patel. Khamosh is produced by Rahul Aggarwal and Deepak Tijori and directed by Deepak Tijori.

"While comparing with the movie Identity everything in this move is same except the fact that it got songs and Indian cast. This ending was slightly changed, but other than that everything is just the same"

its a remake of "Identity 2003".

I've seen movies like this before. The kind of thing where the whole plot is based on what a person sees, and it ends up being in their head. But Identity goes way overboard with it. Nothing is real at all.

I liked the basic story before everything got all trippy. The story of a killer among a bunch of seemingly normal people. Then the whole, "You're actually a crazy person in a mental institute and people think you should die, so prove them wrong", thing kicks in.

If the rest of the movie lived up to what I like from the first hour or so, then I would recommend it, but the movie fails, and fails bad.
