It is very rare for Bollywood to make a really good murder mystery without going off-chart. One can in fact, count on one’s finger tips good crime thrillers. Silence: Can You Hear It is a pleasant change from the usual films that the entertainment industry makes under this genre.
From the very beginning you know that this one is going to be an interesting ride with twists nd turns at every nook and corner. This means be prepared for the unexpected till the very end and this is where the forte lies of director Aban Bharucha Deohans even though the detectives appear to blunder at every step of the way.
The way Deohans moves from the past to the present and then back to the past is interesting and keeps one glued. There are of course two reasons for this.
First, the most important one — Manoj Bajpayee and his absolutely brilliant performance here. As Avinash Verma, a cop with unconventional crime-solving method, he holds the film together till the very end. He doesn’t, even for a single minute, miss a beat. Prachi Desai is a delight to watch as well and given that Bajpayee rules here, she holds her own.
Second, there is no melodrama at the climax; the dialogues are simple and straightforward making this film a must watch for all those who love suspense movies.
