Nishabdham

Nishabdham turns out to be another lacklustre thriller film from Tollywood. The first half of the film starts on a promising note, as it has a haunting villa and mysterious murder. But the terrible writing, dull narration, and the poor direction make it an unimpressive watch.

The screenplay is poorly written and the editing is done in an inept way. The makers are failed to deliver the story in an engaging way. The music is just passable, the cinematography is neat and the background score by Girishh Gopalakrishnan is good.

The performances by the lead are unsatisfactory. Anushka Shetty gave a mediocre performance and Madhavan manages to do justice to his role. Anjali, Shalini Panday, Subbaraju and Srinivas Avasarala looked unconvincing in their roles. Hollywood actor Michael Madsen looked improbable and he has nothing much to offer.

Direction 1.5/5 Acting 2/5 Cinematography 3/5 Story 2/5 Screenplay 1.5/5

First ten minutes, I guessed the plot. So many non relevant dialogues

Story is good. But could have been better with better screen play. Give a try

Every thing in this movie is predictable and mother the twist in the end seems very engaging. One time watch only for the actors performances and good music.

None can raise finger on Madhavan and Anushka Shetty's acting skills. But the movie does not do justice or unravels their true potential. The trailer made me see the movie so bad, but the storyline is very disappointing. Imagine how much thrill, twist and exciting a story can be when the lead character is deaf and mute, plus the other lead actor dies as soon as the movie starts. Unfortunately, the story becomes confusing, made me raise my eyebrows at every new scene; such as why a Crime Detective would want to discuss the case with the family? And why a Crime Detective will call her husband when following a lead and not someone from the team? And so much others.

In short, the story disappoints a lot.
