Koshish is a 1972 Hindi movie directed by Gulzar.
Koshish is considered a landmark movie in the history of Indian cinema. It stars Sanjeev Kumar and Jaya Bhaduri. The movie depicts a deaf and mute couple and their conflicts, pain and struggle to carve out a niche for themselves in a desensitized society. The film was remade in Tamil as Uyarndhavargal in 1977 with Kamal Haasan and Sujatha.

The movie is a lesson on how to live life taking up the lives of Hari (Sanjeev Kumar) and Aarthi (Jaya Bhaduri) who are deaf and mute. They meet, fall in love, get married, have a child who they bring up to be well educated and who gets married to a girl similar to his parents. All they have to help them is their hope, confidence and some kindness in the society along with Uncle Narayan who is blind. Tragedy strikes their lives as well when they lose their first child thanks to Kanu's greed. But they never give up hope on life and not in one instance during the entire movie do they think about ending it. They live life, fight it and succeed in it at a bigger scale than any normal person. This movie gives hope and earns respect for the deaf and mute rather than pulling our heart strings to gain our sympathy towards them. It is considered a must watch if you are in for good films. The performances by Sanjeev Kumar and Jaya Bhaduri is considered benchmark for good acting in this film.
