# Film: RUKHSAT **Directed by:** Simi Garewal **Produced by:** Philip Cherian **Starring:** Mithun Chakraborty Anuradha Patel Amrish Puri Pradeep Kumar Rohini Hattangadi **Music by:** Kalyanji-Anandji **Rating:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Performance:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Review writer:** Dr Usman Latif Khawaja ## **For Whom the Bell Tolls** The debut by Simi Garewal as writer-director is a showcase for Mithun’s talent as a cold, mercenary contract killer who is on the verge of spiritual death but finds salvation in the form of platonic love, which redeems him and the movie of its flaws as well. The brilliant director takes the impossible themes of underage premarital pregnancy and the savage world of contract killing and turns them into a humane tale of spiritual love. The movie stands out from the crowd of average Bollywood thrillers by it…
