Varma’s flick Nishabd is a passionate and intense love story which is based on the theme ‘Attraction between two people can exist, irrespective of age’. This concept has been dealt in many other Hindi films, some of them being EK CHHOTI SI LOVE STORY, JOGGERS PARK and DIL CHAHTA HAI. Attraction between two people is natural, despite an age difference. This project has been adapted from Vladimir Nakobov’s timeless novel Lolita.
The filmmaker known for his hard-hitting realistic antics, ventures into Bhansali’s sublime romantic territory with his not so conventional pairing. In fact Ramu who usually uses a lot of brains in his films, puts in a lot of heart this time. Nishabd makes it apparent that Ramu hasn’t made this film with any pre-defined box office considerations but just out of his desire to narrate a story through his fervent vision. A vision that might not be approved or acknowledged by many! But then Varma doesn’t show any regards for a particular target audience in this film.
