While on one hand it gets predictable and makes you lose interest, on the other hand you want to stay back just to get a little more of Amitabh Bachchan, can’t get enough of him. ! In fact Bachchan raise much above the script to add life to his character of Vijay. We have known him as the angry young Vijay but here he is the sexy old one.
The debutante girl Jiah Khan commands a towering screen presence even in front of Amitabh Bachchan and exudes some razor sharp attitude. Her body language is impeccable and charm is endearingly natural.
Revathy excels yet again. Shraddha Arya is good. Aftab Shivdasani in a special appearance has nothing much to do. Shraddha Arya is good.
The music is good and the background score adds a lot of spice in the slow paced story. The cinematography is immaculate. The Hill station is so beautifully shot that you feel like spending your next holiday at the Munnar Hill station.
NISHABD will meet with diverse reactions thanks to its bold theme. If the maverick film-maker needs a pat for swimming against the tide and choosing a bold subject, he also needs to know that certain subjects are taboo as far as Indian moviegoers are concerned. Only the ‘class’ audience may appreciate the effort as the masses will not relate to the unconventional theme. The film has got a good opening, thanks to its verbal publicity but this will not last long.
