Performances

is
in
his
dashing
salt
n
pepper
style
for

Day.
His
screen
presence
is
a
treat
to
watch.
Though
in
the
first
portions,
the
dialogue
delivery
felt
an
artificiality,
the
later
portions
were
well
managed.
The
young
actors

Forrt,
Praveen
and
Anu
Mohan
did
manage
to
do
well
with
their
characters.
The
female

Janani
Iyer
too
did
justice
to
her
role.
Joy
Mathew
(Bhattathiri)
and
Yog
Bajee,
though
for
a
smaller
screen
space,
have
done
justice
to
their
roles.
Technical Aspects
Cinematography by Sujith Vasudev is a visual treat. Most of the movie is taken in the backdrop of night and he has done extremely well to capture the frames splendidly.
Music by Deepak Dev is good. Though the songs fail to create a long lasting impact on the audience, the BGM is highly engaging and full on energy.
Though there are portions in the movie, mainly in the first half flashback scenes, which lags at parts, the director and scriptwriter has managed to give out an engaging thriller. The climax suspense elements have been well maintained throughout the movie, making the viewers curious to think what shall happen next.
Verdict
On the whole, 7th Day is a movie worth your money and time. And anyone who loves to watch the thriller genre with high suspense elements, don't give this a miss.
