Khoj is a 1989 Bollywood mystery thriller directed by Keshu Ramsay, starring Naseeruddin Shah, Rishi Kapoor and Kimi Katkar in lead roles.[1] This movie was released on 21 July 1989[2] and is based on the British movie Chase a Crooked Shadow (1957), which was an inspiration for the Bengali thriller Sesh Anka and One of My Wives Is Missing (TV Movie 1976). The film was remade in Telugu as Police Report and in Kannada as Agni Sakshi.
Synopsis
Ravi Kapoor (Rishi Kapoor) and his wife Anita are holidaying in Kathmandu. One night, Anita disappears suddenly. Ravi goes searching her everywhere but in vain. He then files a police report about her missing status, and Inspector Balbir (Naseeruddin Shah) begins the search for her. The next day, Ravi gets a call from Father Anthony (Danny Denzongpa) saying that his missing wife is with him in the church, but when Ravi meets her, he claims that the woman is not his wife.
Inspector Balbir finds all the evidence is against Ravi, despite his attempts to prove otherwise. Who is this mysterious woman and why is she claiming to be Ravi's wife?
