Nishabdham

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.

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

Watched it in Tamil and right from beginning anjali's narration was so lifeless! Damn alger acting and stupidity! i mean She seems too happy to hold toy gun in crime scene where its not necessary. It doesnt stop there, Virudhunagar visaranai was ultimate facepalm!! Watch it to troll!!

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

Well, honestly tollywood tried something different, director tried to project western kind of screen play and style, but it is unfortunate that our actors or story didn't suit well enough. The characters are not exactly suited for their roles, for example Mrs.Anjali. I am not saying they are not talented but not every one can suit in every role. I watch hollywood movies too, but after watching many of such revenge stories and all, the story is pretty normal and though twists are there, due to the screen play, you won't get excited beacuse it is not a kind of screen play telugu audience used to watch or perhaps indians used to watch. All are terrific and talented actors but there was not much scope for acting. I don't know why but the narration felt lazy for me. If you watch this movie before sleeping, you will definetely go to sleep contradicting to its generes that is mystery, horror, thriller. They have a decent story but trying to mimic western style of narration and screen play kind of made everything not suitable. Honestly, it may be directors opinion to showcase western style but, end of the day, indian people have to decide whether its a good movie or not because its not a hollywood movie. I am a mad fan of Mrs.Anushka Shetty which made me to write this review as I felt bit disappointed. No offense. This is just my opinion.
