    Directed by Sudhir Mishra. With Soha Ali Khan, Shiney Ahuja,
    Rajat Kapoor
    India 2007, 35mm, color, 130 min. Hindi and Urdu with English subtitles

    This period piece about the Hindi cinema industry in the 1950s stars Soha Ali Khan, in one of her first leading roles, as a fictional actress in the years just before the beginning of her mother’s career. The film’s love story between a frustrated auteur and an actress with a past is loosely based on the relationship between the great Guru Dutt and Waheeda Rehman. Khan plays the glamorous star from a poor and manipulative family, with Shiney Ahuja as the tortured writer. Khoya khoya chand is a valentine to a golden age in Hindi filmmaking, and Khan is a non-stop, fearless physical presence, whether singing and dancing, sword fighting on horseback or breaking down off-camera in the best tradition of the long-suffering diva.
