Anita is a weird girl, who either looses her memory or pretends to not remember.
First before I forget, there is a Ted Lyons and his Cubs sighting in this film. A brief one unfortunately, but they are the band for the song on the ship. To anyone outside the Bollywood World of the 1960s this means nothing but they show up as the band in a number of films for usually just one great number - Gumnaam, Jaanwar and a few others. And they have managed to become a cult item. On to the film.
Director Raj Khosla has a good eerie atmospheric film with a lot of mystery, mirrors, murder, mistaken identity, possible ghosts or reincarnation or schizophrenia going on and then decides to basically drop a piece of rancid meat in the…
third and last of raj khosla's very strange, sadhana starring thrillers, pushing the concerns of woh kaun thi? into even more abstract territory - all geometrically inclined color compositions, often splintered by reflective surfaces or '60s modernist decor. extending and decomposing sadhana's inscrutable star presence, a center that doesn't exist despite proliferating until that presence devours the film (and the characters driving it).
also includes one of the all time most baffling comedy tracks.
The last movie in Raj Khosla's trilogy with Sadhana was probably more of a letdown than expected. Nonetheless, just seeing her is good enough for me.
