Couldnt stand anjali's acting and narration
surya-489662 October 2020
Watched it in Tamil and right from beginning anjali's narration was so lifeless! Damn alger acting and stupidity! i mean She seems too happy to hold toy gun in crime scene where its not necessary. It doesnt stop there, Virudhunagar visaranai was ultimate facepalm!! Watch it to troll!!

One time watch!!!
apurvdasgupta3 October 2020
Every thing in this movie is predictable and mother the twist in the end seems very engaging. One time watch only for the actors performances and good music.

Terrible gaffs
binkaboink-119-40490916 November 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Storyline is weak. The amount of gaffs is astounding.
  • 13 shots from a 6 shot revolver
  • police not using gloves to handle evidence
  • crucification drawing appearing in a dead woman's room
  • coroner enquiry of Anthony's wife not finding any head injuries, but alcohol intoxication
  • dead girls in black bags not weighing anything
  • molten lava appearing from nowhere


And so many more!

How did Madhavan agreed to do this role?
girish-505193 October 2020
I believe 60's suspense movies were directed much better than this, director was clueless in connecting past and present story, background music was terrible, saved by not watching this in theatres.

Entertaining
jeffcisme8 February 2021
I enjoyed the movie. Not the greatest acting overall, but the story was good. BTW, while the movie was being filmed here in the Seattle area, I was cutting and coloring Subbaraju's hair.

Absolutely mindbogglingly terrible!
swathibal4 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
It is a story about Antony(a cello artist), Sakshi (a painter), Richard D.. something (a cop whose last name the the movie makers were too lazy to make up their minds about), Maha(a detective in Seattle PD it seems) and Sonali (God knows what she does). This movie has too many problems! I'll go one by one

1.Lack of Relatability None of these characters have any backstory except Antonys which mind you is so superficial, but at least he had one. All the others just exist out of nowhere..for example Sakshi and Sonali are orphans who were both raised in an orphanage in US and for some extremely random reason, have Indian names and know Tamil/ Telugu/Malayalam!! And one wonders why the detective in Seattle PD speaks with an Indian accent, if she's a migrant who recently went to the US and has not learnt to speak the way they do, how did she get a job in the Police Department?? In fact this movie has no relevance in being set in the US! Could have just been set in any city in India without altering anything- that could have made the movie more bearable, since they could have avoided subjecting the audience to the cringe worthy acting of all the foreigners in this movie (yes! Including Madsen.. I don't know what he thought while signing up for this). No movie could not be more unrelatable than this one!

I rest my case by saying this, there is a scene in the movie where an American cop translates the Tamil into sign language for Sakshi (she is mute). Seriously?? Are we unaware of some kind of Tamil education the people of US receive to become cops?

Plot Its rubbish, it seems like the writers just wanted to add a few twists, thought out what they were and came up with most lazy and underwhelming story to connect the twists.

Characters *Spoilers* Don't even get me started on the backstory of Antony (Madhavan), it's absolute nonsense - he starts killing women who cheat because his wife cheated on him? I understand it if they showed that he had some mental issues and that his wife cheating on him, somehow triggered his psychosis..but noo, this movie wants to show him as the victim, poor guy only mangles women's heads because he thinks they want to cheat ..That's just super shallow, ridiculous and a dangerous message!!! Also the glorified relationship between Sonali and Sakshi is just so toxic. Sonali does not like it when anything good happens in Sakshis life (when she gets s new job, or a boyfriend)? And they're best friends it seems, they show it like it's just so normal.

All in all the movie sucks big time! Don't waste your time or brain space on it. I have already wasted too much, watching it, writing a review on it, all so that you don't subject yourself to this torture.

Disappointed that I can't give a lower rating than one star
mkrishan-44-8545517 October 2020
Acting is terrible from all actors specially the lead, the detective, and they have wasted brilliant actors like Madhawan and Michael Madsen and a good story, Do your self a favour and skip this movie, don't make the same mistake I did.

One of the Worst Thrillers / murder mystery Ever...!! Don,t Watch and waste time.
avinashranga-2640620 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
I being a huge fan of murder mystery / Suspense thrillers, never miss a movie with these words in them. This movie is an insult to all of these.. forced justification..

This is one of the most ridiculous movie I have ever seen, The narration and plot is very bad, and Anjali acting is the worst. Looks to me like the Director was clueless. And seriously hated the plot where killing madavan even after hearing his version of story was Justified as Good is prejiduce. According to me both sonali and madavan were having a mental disorder and both needed treatment..

Stupidest climax ever...!!! Dont watch it..!

Nishabdham Missed Engaging Screenplay
madhuprodigy-461902 October 2020
Nishabdham had huge expectation due to the horror mystery triller which was the actual.ploy when the movie starts but after interval we could find the movie has missed and deviated from the story. The movie is all about investigation of Missing Friend, Murder. There is no big suspense which is the base of any action mystery triller which will be Engaging. The Movie has missed proper story and Screenplay. It's a average film and director had confusion and what the film will deliver for audience. My Rating is 2.5 out of 5. Music was at the best. Score by Girishh and Music Sound Track by Gopi Sundar and Vishwajeet Jeykar

Not Recommended 👎🏻 by Hit Ya Flop - Movie World
nitsvirusboyz2 October 2020
Nishabdham turns out to be another lacklustre thriller film from Tollywood. The first half of the film starts on a promising note, as it has a haunting villa and mysterious murder. But the terrible writing, dull narration, and the poor direction make it an unimpressive watch.

The screenplay is poorly written and the editing is done in an inept way. The makers are failed to deliver the story in an engaging way. The music is just passable, the cinematography is neat and the background score by Girishh Gopalakrishnan is good.

The performances by the lead are unsatisfactory. Anushka Shetty gave a mediocre performance and Madhavan manages to do justice to his role. Anjali, Shalini Panday, Subbaraju and Srinivas Avasarala looked unconvincing in their roles. Hollywood actor Michael Madsen looked improbable and he has nothing much to offer.

Direction 1.5/5 Acting 2/5 Cinematography 3/5 Story 2/5 Screenplay 1.5/5

Waste of time
ssushswmy2 October 2020
What a terrible of a movie.. Seriously.. NARRATION SUCKS.. SCREENPLAY IS EVEN WORSE.. Ankusha is happy to be mute in this nonsense movie.. Anjali as a Seattle PD officer is a joke.. Why her.. She doesn't fit to be a homocide detective nor she has the looks or body language.. god knows what the director was thinking...

Catchy Trailer, Disappointing movie
lovenabila5 October 2020
None can raise finger on Madhavan and Anushka Shetty's acting skills. But the movie does not do justice or unravels their true potential. The trailer made me see the movie so bad, but the storyline is very disappointing. Imagine how much thrill, twist and exciting a story can be when the lead character is deaf and mute, plus the other lead actor dies as soon as the movie starts. Unfortunately, the story becomes confusing, made me raise my eyebrows at every new scene; such as why a Crime Detective would want to discuss the case with the family? And why a Crime Detective will call her husband when following a lead and not someone from the team? And so much others.

In short, the story disappoints a lot.

Waste of time, watching this.
dhruva-5493011 October 2020
Instead of making a movie they should have made a pod cast. Never taught that Anushka can give such an emotional less boring performance. If you are able to withstand Anjali's action and narration you can survive anything in this world.
