Let\u2019s see whether it has the mettle to stand up to its \u2018suspense-thriller\u2019 tag or not.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Plot<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Frankly speaking, there is nothing new in the plot of \u2018Nishabdham\u2019. Sakshi(Anushka) is an orphan who is deaf and dumb, but blessed with great painting skills. Sakshi falls in love with Anthony(Madhavan) who is a cello player. They both go into a haunted house in search of a painting but Anthony gets murdered. Sakshi becomes the witness for the murder and the rest of the story revolves around \u2018Who killed Anthony?\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Proceedings reveal that a couple were killed in that haunted house in a mysterious manner earlier. This plot closely resembles Simbu\u2019s \u2018Manmadha\u2019. Police officer Maha (Anjali) unravels the secret behind the murder. Logically, there is no villain in this movie as the antagonist\u2019s character has a strong motive behind committing murders. \u2018Nishabdham\u2019 is too clich\u00e9d as the plot is anything but formulaic.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Analysis<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Nishabdham\u2019 is an exercise in formulaic cinema making with absolutely no chills and thrills. It is nowhere a suspense-thriller as was touted. Its routine screenplay and uninteresting plotline tests your patience and director Hemant Madhukar seems to have not learnt anything from his previous disaster Vastadu Naa Raju. We don\u2019t understand why an actress like Anushka did this film after \u2018Baahubali\u2019. Madhavan who is known for his out-of-the-box characters did a grave mistake by choosing this script and \u2018Kill Bill\u2019 fame Michael Madsen is absolutely wasted.<\/p>\n<p>All it takes is just ten minutes since the movie starts to understand that there is nothing in it. Even though the introduction scene starts with a heavy build-up, the proceedings lose steam shortly. Anjali\u2019s running commentary is nothing but interesting and the twist of Michael Madsen before the interval is the only saving grace of \u2018Nishabdham\u2019. We can understand that the makers want to infuse richness into this otherwise bland story by shooting in America.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Performances<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Anushka\u2019s deaf and dumb role has nothing to add to the story. Madhavan\u2019s performance is better and Anjali\u2019s \u2018Maha\u2019 has nothing to offer except flaunting her stylish persona. While Avasarala Srinivas\u2019s role as Anjali\u2019s husband has no relevance, the characters played by Subba Raju and Shalini Pandey are strictly mediocre. Hollywood star Michael Madsen has done justice to his character. Most of the scenes in \u2018Nishabdham\u2019 have no impact and don\u2019t contribute anything to the story.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Cast<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nAnushka, Madhavan, Anjali, Subba Raju, Shalini Pandey, Avasarala Srinivas, Michael Madsen.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Screenplay:<\/strong><\/span> Kona Venkat<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Music:<\/strong> <\/span>Gopi Sundar<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Cinematography:<\/strong><\/span> Shaneil Deo<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Producers:<\/strong> <\/span>TG Vishwa Prasad, Kona Venkat<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Story &amp; Direction:<\/strong> <\/span>Hemant Madhukar<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>OTT platform:<\/strong><\/span> Amazon Prime<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Banner:<\/strong><\/span> People Media Factory<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>Rating:<\/strong><\/span> 2\/5<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anushka\u2019s most awaited thriller \u2018Nishabdham\u2019 was released on Amazon Prime.
