More American Beauty than Lolita, Nishabd has a leisurely & charming build up with the chemistry crackling between the odd ball couple. Jiah Khan is stunning,brings in the adolescent irreverence and Big B continues to age gracefully. The camera truly feasts on Jiah and the lush green tea gardens of Munnar as the romance is poignantly set up.
However all this comes to a naught when the movie takes a hurried, safe and a coming together of the pieces ending. And what was the need to have screeching loud background music trying to elevate every scene to a "climax"! Worse, the Rozanna number which truly rocks is not even featured during the titles.

All the reviews are lamenting the end, so I guess it must be a real cop out. I am not planning on seeing it, so I won't be finding out how bad it is :)
Why call the movie Nishabdh? Nothing is left unsaid. No actor whose eyes haven’t welled up. And just in case you missed it, the background score insists on bursting your ear drums on ‘IMPORTANT SCENES’.
Anyway, but those are just a few of the movie’s faults. The second half is appalling. In fact, I wondered whether it had been ghost directed on behalf of RGV.
Jiah Khan?
Ah! Now she merits two more paragraphs!
This movie is terrible. Jiah Khan and her "Take light" dialogues are unbearable. Amitabh looks far too decent for the role; he sometimes even looks apologetic about having acted in the movie. The interactions between them seem so contrived and artificial, not to mention downright annoying. There are too many minutes (and they seem like hours) where the movie just crawls ahead, with no dialogue and unforgivable background music.
Dear RGV, WTF?
