What happens

Ankahee (English: Unspoken) is a 1985 Indian drama film directed by Amol Palekar starring himself, Deepti Naval, and Shreeram Lagoo in key roles. It was based on the Marathi play Kalay Tasmai Namaha by C. T. Khanolkar. The film is noted for its soundtrack, which won two awards at the 32nd National Film Awards, including Best Music Direction for Jaidev and Best Male Playback Singer for noted classical singer Pt. Bhimsen Joshi. Asha Bhosle also sang two songs, "Kauno Thagwa Nagariya" & "Mujhe Bhi Radha Bana De Nandlal". Amol Palekar's next film in the dual role of actor-director was Samaantar (2009).
