Nishabd" elevates the traditional language of cinema to the plane of unrhymed poetry.
That quest for joy, which we forfeit in our pursuit of day-to-day aspirations, is retrieved in this elegiac yet exhilarating film about re-discovering passion and disconnecting it with sex.

as a whole Nishabd fails to deliver
Jiah Khan is beautiful, sexy, and attractive.She does a fine job in her debut.
Revathy as usual is excellent and naturally beautiful, while Shraddha Arya is a talent to watch.
s craft is wonderful in the movie.

In the book, Lolita , from which film-maker Ram Gopal Verma, presumably, drew inspiration, author Nabokov made the plot a lot more messy, but this doesn't make Nishabd any less disgusting for me, a desi oldie with a middle-class mindset.
Of all the fantasy Bollywood has made, a movie of this 18-60 love equation depicted in Nishabd is truly outlandish.

We laugh about her comments on how good Amitabh smells.
If I look confident on screen, the credit goes to Amitabh and Varma.

First-time actress Jiah is very attractive, very effective, but it is Bachchan who makes Nishabd his own.

The album of the ardently awaited "Nishabd" has two original compositions and 10 bonus tracks, that is, if you can call them bonus.
The Ram Gopal Varma-directed movie boasts of two splendid songs sung by the main actors - Amitabh Bachchan and Jiah Khan.

That's not to say that Nishabd is a bad film - not at all.
Much as I am in absolute awe of Amitabh Bachchan and think that his performance in Nishabd is one of his finest, I can't help admitting that his presence in the film dilutes the impact of the film.

Nishabd would have been a better choice for you as far as politics is concerned.
What Zee News (and most other channels) said about Shatrughan and Bachchan last week was an exhibit of this habit AB Sr has, of inadvertently starting a fight.

As for my so-called audacious launch, I was very comfortable with my role in Nishabd.
If they reacted violently against my relationship with Mr.Bachchan in Nishabd, then good.
