Review of Nishabd (2007) by Sohan A — 29 Aug 2007

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie! It really resonated with my heart and I just completely understood the psychology behind both characters and the purity of their love. It's not the typical Bollywood movie, but the dialouge, the longing glances, the heart-throbbing music really blended well together in creating a fine movie.

Only Amitabh Bachchan could have pulled off such an amazing performance. He never made me feel disgusted for wanting such a woman that was his daughter's age. Their relationship was so classy and genuine.

Jiah Khan was hard to like at first, but as I watched the movie over again and again, I grew to like her and her fiesty attitude. In many ways, I resemble her and her cute facial expressions and in acting like a child.

But the chemistry between the two characters was undeniable and it really gives a different spin on what falling in love is all about and how love is perceived by others. The ending really was a shocker and at the same time heartbreaking in the sense that there are times in life where memories are the best gifts that a person can be blessed with.

My eyes teared up in the end as I myself can empathize with the power of memories and how intensely a person holds on to them, as if they are the breath to life itself.
