Kaun? (Hindi: कौन, English: Who?) is a 1999 Indian psychological horror thriller film directed by Ram Gopal Verma, written by Anurag Kashyap, starring Urmila Matondkar, Manoj Bajpayee and Sushant Singh.[1]
When no one is found, she asks him to leave, and opens the door, only to finds another man with a gun, who later identifies himself as Inspector Qureshi (Sushant Singh). The two doubt his credentials, and Qureshi phones the police station and calls for help. The two men then get into a fight, and during the struggle the woman gets a hold of Qureshi's gun, and asks them to sit quietly. It is then revealed that the man claiming to be Inspector Qureshi is in fact a thief. The woman telephones her mother and asks her to contact the police.
Sameer tries to kill Qureshi, thinking that he is the serial killer and then uses the telephone to call the police, however he finds that the phone is not working. He is unable to understand what is happening and asks the woman to hide somewhere safe inside the house while trying to figure out a solution to the problem. The door bell rings and Purnavale answers. He starts looking around for the woman, calling out to her that there was a man asking for Mr Malhotra and is confused because the woman claimed when they met that the house belongs to Mr Gupta. Whilst searching for her in the attic, Sameer stumbles upon a dead body and identifies it as that of Mr Malhotra. Sameer panics and when he looks around the woman attacks him and in self-defense he tries to kill her. In this confusion the thief who is wounded stabs Sameer to death to save the woman, assuming that Sameer was the killer. Whilst the thief checks on Sameer's body, the woman begins humming and stabs the thief to death.
At the end of the movie it is established that the woman is mentally ill as she cleans up the bodies and rearranges the furniture and proceeds to talk to her "mother" using the disconnected telephone. Before the credits it is shown there is another man at the door asking for Mr. Malhotra, she then turns to the camera and smiles ominously.
The film became an above average grosser at box office. According to the Hindustan Times, Kaun enjoys a near cult status today.[4] An English version of the film Who's There was released online in 2014.[5]

Plot
A young woman (Urmila Matondkar), home alone, is watching the news of a serial killer on television when the doorbell rings. The woman sees through the peephole that it is a young man, who later identifies himself as Sameer A. Purnavale (Manoj Bajpai), claiming to be a business partner of Mr. Malhotra. She is reluctant to open the door, due to the news of a killer on the loose. The woman claims that the house doesn't belong to Mr. Malhotra but to Mr. Gupta. However, the man believing that there has been a mix up, persistently keeps ringing the doorbell even after the woman tells him that she won't let him in. To scare him away the woman lies and tells the man that her husband is sleeping upstairs. The man then claims that he hears a noise upstairs so that if her husband is awake can he talk to him. Upon hearing this and a subsequent noise from within the house, the woman is spooked and runs outside. Punarvale then takes the woman back inside, reassuring her that he is protecting her.When no one is found, she asks him to leave, and opens the door, only to finds another man with a gun, who later identifies himself as Inspector Qureshi (Sushant Singh). The two doubt his credentials, and Qureshi phones the police station and calls for help. The two men then get into a fight, and during the struggle the woman gets a hold of Qureshi's gun, and asks them to sit quietly. It is then revealed that the man claiming to be Inspector Qureshi is in fact a thief. The woman telephones her mother and asks her to contact the police.

Reception
Anupama Chopra in her review for India Today stated, "Relentlessly experimental, he moved from the MTV love story Rangeela to the spoof-gone-poof Daud to the gritty underworld saga Satya without a pause. In Kaun, Varma takes a shot at an Ittefaq-style songless suspense thriller and almost pulls it off."[2] Suparn Verma of Rediff said, "The film starts with a big scare that leaves you feeling silly and, slowly, as the momentum picks up, it draws you in. You prepare for the worst, and end up jumping at shadows. Though the climax is a little long-drawn and leaves you with some unanswered questions, it delivers the required punch."[3]The film became an above average grosser at box office. According to the Hindustan Times, Kaun enjoys a near cult status today.[4] An English version of the film Who's There was released online in 2014.[5]

Great Suspence from RGV
I have seen many RGV
films and this one could be put as one of his best movies other than
classic COmpany. If you haven't seen this movie, i will recommend this
movie. This movie has no songs and running time of about 100 minutes.
The first 20 or 30 minute of the film is kind of slow, so if you can
make it through it you will be up for a plesant surprise. Great acting
by Urmila and Manoj Bajpai.
