Movie Review: 7th Day


7th Day:


7th Day is a Suspense thriller genre by debutant Syam Dhar.

About the Movie:
David Abraham IPS (Prithviraj), a suspended officer from Crime Branch is unlocking an unregistered case he comes across in a christmas eve, and gets resolved in the 7th day ie New year's eve. On a small accident with a bike, David comes across two friends Shan (Vinay Forrt) and Vinu (Anu Mohan) whom seemed to be pretty tensed about something. Vinu gets injured and David takes them to hospital and from there Vinu disappears, and never finds him searching the whole area. David gets some doubts about them and next day comes in search of this only to find Vinu suicides on the same night and Shan gets attacked by some strangers. David find out from Shan and his four friends Cycle (Praveen Prem). Eby (Tovino Thomas), Jessy (Jannani Iyer) are in deep trouble with some money issues and promises to help them and starts investigating about the case unofficially. The case gets interesting as there is no clues or findings in front of David. From there movie reveals the story step by step and the mysteries behind the Gang.

Behind the Scenes:
Shyam Dhar with his directional debut has made it perfect.
Story by Akhil Paul is excellent and a great suspense thriller.
Cinematography by Sujith Vassudev was apt for the thriller genre and has many visual treats.
Editing by John Kutty gave a dark mood, although was good.
Music by Deepak Dev was excellent although there was one song it is a good blend to movie.

About the Cast:
Prithviraj as David Abraham, was just outstanding with his Salt n Pepper looks. The role didn't use much of his acting skills, but it was his stardom which was perfectly picturised with his brilliant narration skill.
Vinay Forrt as Shan was brilliant among the 5 friends, did brilliant.
Anu Mohan as Vinu is sure a new talent to industry.
Praveen Prem as Cycle surprises us with his different role playing that differ from his looks was good.
Tovino Thomas as Eby had a rough look was good to watch.
Jannani Iyer as Jessy did play her role good.
All other casting were good and played their part well. No performance were bad.

Should You Watch:
The movie without an Official trailer, with Prithviraj quoting "On many different counts, I don't think there has been another movie in my career with which i have been involved with so many different levels like this one.." gave a interesting preview and I was eager to watch this on the first day was indeed a good decision. On of the best thrillers this year till date, with Prithviraj at his best and a suspense story line till the very end without much lag element used except for a small scene towards end, the whole crew did well in the making of 7th Day. Its definitely a watchable one for all movie lovers.
As always the final decision is yours :D

My Rating:  4.5/5
