MOVIE REVIEW: 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.
Nishabdham Movie Rating:
Direction 1.5/5
Acting 2/5
Cinematography 3/5
Story 2/5
Screenplay 1.5/5
