Latest released film in Telugu on Amazon Prime offers a suspense filled murder mystery . Set on the backdrop of a haunted house located in Seattle, which has a history of a couple which died in mysterious circumstances. The film has also been released in tamil language with the title ‘Silence’. In this film we are taken to the same haunted house by a newly married couple Anthony ( Madhavan) a world famous Cello Player and his wife Sakshi ( Anushka Sharma) an artiste, who is in search of a painting located in this house.
As expected strange things happen and we find Anthony murdered in the basement of the house and Sakshi running out of the house to save her life. Soon, we find this high profile murder case handled by US Police officers Richard ( Michael Madson) and his assistant Mahi ( Anjali) of Indian origin. As the screenplay progresses, we see sequence of events in the flashback showing all the details of Sakshi since her childhood and her close friendship with Sonali ( Shalini Pandey). Director Hemant Madhukar has also skilfully picturised the love at first sight scene of Anthony and Sakshi before getting married . A background song picturised on them is also good. At the same time there are some twists and turns noticed in the flashback.
There are few lapses in the film but the overall presentation is good for all those who love to watch murder mysteries. Performances by the lead characters are very natural and well suited to this suspense filled film. Kona Venkat’s screenplay is appealing. Music score by G .Girishh and Sound track of Gopi Sundar go well with this film’s subject. And the finest cinematography by Shaneil Deo and good editing by Prawin Pudi makes this film more presentable. The Tamil version of this film ‘Silence’ and its dubbed Malyalam version is available on Amazon Prime Video.
