Nishabdh

I Watched Nishabd with a friend of mine on the first weekend of the release. I can still remember vividly Amitabh's expressions in various situations.. If there is one actor who could do this role it was him and RGV got it absolutely right in choosing his cast (even apart from Amitabh).

Screenplay - Direction: This is where you get to see the difference between a movie RGV produces and directs. This is the first movie he directs after "Sarkar" and this turns out to be quite interesting. Frankly speaking I never thought that RGV would direct an emotional love story ever…!! The subtleties have been take care to avoid the melodramatic trauma that you usually end up watching in Bollywood movies of similar kinds ...The locations were really fabulous and the subtleties that were taken care of was simply

Star Cast: Amitabh was simply great with his performance, I can still remember the way he sings "jiya jale jaan jale …. " really hilarious and the way he laughs while he savors the moments he spent with jiah like a mad cranky person itself shows that a lot of thought has been put in on what one goes thro ….
I've heard people say that jiya khan's character was more about beauty than depth .. I agree to a certain extent but what I liked is the way she fitted into the character of an 18 year old immature teenager.. her role was meant to be immature … !

Climax: I still remember the last dialogue that Amitabh says to Nazar and that says it all …I felt that it was probably the best way to end the movie. Given the complexity of the situation it is more of a "practical ending" which made good sense..

Given the highly debatable subject, I feel RGV did enuf justice to the characters portrayed. Don’t expect this movie to be a all out hit and I do agree that a large part of the audience will have problem with the subject he chose but I feel it will be critically acclaimed.
