Silence Can You Hear - A Good Thriller

About the Author

Sunil Garodia Yogendra is freelance writer

When four trekkers hear a mobile phone ringing nearby and discover the body of a pretty, young woman with her head smashed, the police find that the trail leads to a politician at whose home the young woman spent the previous night. But things are not so straight forward. The girl's father, a judge, asks for a particular police officer (who is now in the narcotics department) to carry out the investigation.

Silence...Can you hear it? is a well crafted thriller now streaming on Zee 5. ACP Avinash Verma (Manoj Bajpayee)tries to trace the movements of Pooja Choudhary, the young women who was murdered. His prime suspect for a while is Ravi Khanna, the politician whose wife Kavita is Pooja's friend. Pooja had gone to Khanna's home to meet Kavita but she was not there. Pooja decided to spend the night there and leave for Pune the next morning to surprise Kavita. But too much happened the next day and ACP Verma had his hands full dealing with too many leads.

The way Verma and his team crack the case make Silence... a good thriller. Bajpayee is top notch, as usual. Prachi Desai makes a comeback as a member of his team. The other actors are good and play their parts well. Arjun Mathur as Ravi Khanna displays the right arrogance expected of a politically connected person. The scene where Bajpayee has had enough of his tantrums and asks him to sit and not move until ordered is the best in the film.

Silence.... is worth a watch. It could have been edited to make it shorter and crispier as the running time (136 minutes) is too long. Some scenes seem stretched. But otherwise it is a well-made film that does justice to the thriller genre.
