Khamoshi. Asit Sen. 1969.

Within the sterility of the modernist architecture of the hospital, a nonsensical ploy to cure patients of lovesickness by allowing a nurse to deceive them into romance, only to let them down later. Notwithstanding the plot, the staging is all cleansed white surfaces against which shadows sometimes fall through fluttering curtains. Through the window of the room, uniformed men and women walk like robots in distant corridors. The machine breaks down when the nurse falls into her own trap. She is punished for this by madness.

The songs: “humne dekhi hain pyaar ki…”, “woh shaam kuch ajeeb thi..” , “tum pukar lo ” are lovely.
