How sad is this?

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Mammootty shouldn't do such roles. It suited him only in that 4-film series surrounding Sethuram Iyer CBI and that was early 2000s. But, now, in a way to copy Mohanlal's flourish in such crime-thriller roles, he has lost his way.Non of his recent movies are worth watching; and Silence is no different. Starting off with how his character becomes a HC judge, the film revolves around few goons who target him because he acted against them once. Then, the film jumps into another murder story and later comes out with a preposterous plot, something related to bipolar disorder. While the screenplay is blown-off, the film making factors are hopeless. With certain newbies playing important roles, the whole drama lacks credibility. And that grueling beat music every time Mammootty enters a scene is god-awful of the music editor.The director lacks efficiency and hence the film gives out garbled nuances, here & there. Anoop Menon is wasted and looks like, from his previous stints, he may really be a waste.BOTTOM LINE: No single factor to consider. Avoid!
