Silence Movie Review - Fails To Impress As A Thriller!
Story
Aravind
Chandrasekhar
(Mammootty)
is
the
newly
appointed
judge
in
the
Karnataka
High
Court.
In
his
dream
run
career
as
an
advocate,
Aravind
has
never
lost
a
case
nor
has
bad
remarks.
He
is
happily
living
with
his
wife
Sangeetha
(Pallavi)
and
their
adorable
children
Arya
and
Aditya.
Things
take
a
turn
when
Aravind
had
to
visit
his
hometown
in
Kerala
to
attend
a
festival.
One
day,
while
happily
chatting
with
his
family
members,
Aravind
gets
a
call
from
an
anonymous
person
asking
him
to
get
ready
for
a
hide
and
seek
game.
Aravind
slips
it
off
his
mind
as
a
prank
call,
but
later
when
he
feels
he
and
his
family
is
targeted
by
somebody
for
something,
he
seeks
the
help
of
his
close
friend
Neil
George
(Anoop
Menon),
an
IPS
officer.
In
the
hunt
for
finding
out
the
culprit
behind
the
threatening
calls,
Aravind
comes
to
know
that
he
should
dig
his
past
to
reveal
the
mystery
surrounding
his
life
that
could
ruin
his
career
itself.
Will
Aravind
succeed
in
solving
it?
Answer
for
this
question
lies
in
the
rest
of
the
story.
Performances
Mammootty
as
usual
has
given
out
a
splendid
performance
in
the
role
of
Aravind
Chandrasekhar.
He
tries
his
best
to
carry
the
movie
in
his
shoulders
whenever
the
script
falters.
Anoop
Menon
as
Neil
George
IPS
has
done
justice
to
his
role.
Pallavi
makes
a
decent
debut
in
Malayalam
through
the
role
of
Aravind's
wife
Sangeetha.
Special
mention
goes
to
the
child
artist
in
the
role
of
Aditya
for
giving
a
wonderful
performance.
Rest
of
the
actors
including
Aparna
Nair
(Liji),
Basil
(John),
Joy
Mathew
(Markos),
Ravi
Vallathol,
Raghavan,
Prakash
Bare,
etc
have
given
out
decent
performances.
Technical
Aspects
Turning
to
the
technical
aspects,
cinematography
by
Manoj
Kumar
Katoi
is
good
and
has
moments
to
cheer
for.
Music
by
Ratheesh
Wega
doesn't
create
an
impact,
and
BGM
seems
unsuitable
for
some
scenes.
Dialogues
of
the
movie
are
well
written,
but
most
of
them
fail
to
impress.
Scripting by YT Rajesh can be termed as a negative as it just thrills you in the first half and almost falls from grip throughout the second half. Director should have kept more focus on the storyline rather than focusing on the variety in chasing and fight scenes.
Verdict
On
the
whole,
Silence
fails
to
impress
the
viewers
as
a
thriller
flick,
which
is
the
basic
purpose
of
such
movies.
