Anokhi Raat (1968) Produced by L. B. Lachman and L. B. Thakur and directed by Asit Sen, this off-beat film is widely regarded as one of the most unconventional and distinctive Hindi films of its era. Departing markedly from the dominant conventions of mainstream Hindi cinema in the 1960s, the film established itself as a thoughtful and atmospheric drama. The cast features Sanjeev Kumar, Zaheeda Hussain, Aruna Irani, Keshto Mukherjee, and Parikshit Sahni. The film's musical dimension was shaped by two celebrated composers: Roshan composed the songs, while Salil Chowdhury created the background score. At the centre of the narrative is Sanjeev Kumar's portrayal of a gentle and compassionate caretaker of a remote guest house who, through force of circumstance, is transformed into a feared dacoit.

अनोखी रात (1968) एल. बी. लक्ष्मण और एल. बी. ठाकुर द्वारा निर्मित और असित सेन द्वारा निर्देशित, यह फ़िल्म लीक से हटकर बनी है। अपने दौर की सबसे अपरंपरागत और विशिष्ट हिंदी फ़िल्मों में से एक मानी जाती है। 1960 के दशक के मुख्यधारा के हिंदी सिनेमा की प्रचलित परंपराओं से हटकर, इस फ़िल्म ने एक विचारोत्तेजक और प्रभावशाली ड्रामा के रूप में अपनी पहचान बनाई। फ़िल्म में संजीव कुमार, ज़ाहिदा हुसैन, अरुणा ईरानी, केष्टो मुखर्जी और परीक्षित साहनी ने अभिनय किया है। फ़िल्म के संगीत में दो प्रसिद्ध संगीतकारों का योगदान रहा। रोशन ने गीत लिखे, जबकि सलिल चौधरी ने बैकग्राउंड म्यूज़िक तैयार किया। कहानी के केंद्र में संजीव कुमार द्वारा निभाया गया किरदार है, जो एक दूरदराज़ के गेस्ट हाउस के सौम्य और दयालु केयरटेकर का रोल करता है, जो परिस्थितियों के चलते एक खूंखार डाकू बन जाता है। फ़िल्म के निर्माण के दौरान, संजीव कुमार के सुझाव पर परीक्षित साहनी ने कुछ समय के लिए "अजय साहनी" का उपनाम अपनाया, लेकिन बाद में वे अपने मूल नाम पर लौट आए। यह कहानी एक तूफ़ानी रात में फ़िल्माई जाती है, जो फ़िल्म को एक अनोखी नाटकीय एकता प्रदान करती है। कुछ महत्वपूर्ण फ्लैशबैक को छोड़कर, कहानी वास्तविक समय में आगे बढ़ती है, जिसमें वेशभूषा में बहुत कम बदलाव होते हैं...
