Synopsis

Silence... Can You Hear It?

A team of special cops are investigating the murder of a high-profile victim, the daughter of a retired justice. The team is led by ACP Avinash Verma from the narcotics division. The higher-ups don't favour Avinash but the retired Justice Choudhary insists he is the best man to solve his daughter's murder and requests that he be hired. Pooja Choudhary, the victim, was found on a hilltop by four college students. The forensic department had found bits of copper on her wound. The officers reason that the motive was a personal one and the killer is someone who knew Pooja. Pooja last visited her best friend Kavita's house to show her something. But Kavita had gone to Pune so Pooja had spent the night in Kavita's house as it was very late. Kavita's husband Ravi is an MLA. He and Dadu the servant were there when Pooja had arrived. Verma sets off to investigate and interrogates everyone that knows Pooja: Rishabh (her close friend) and his fiancée Kia, her family, Ravi, Kavita (who fell into a coma after falling down the stairs), Ravi's connections, and unusual suspects Sunny and Shrikant. Verma deduces that Ravi is involved in Pooja’s death and Sunny was an aide in it. However, while apprehending him, Sunny gets killed by an opposition gang and Verma is injured. After recovering, he pushes through to find the truth, despite the constant hurdles created by Ravi, the media and the department. Verma manages to finish the case in time and the plot is revealed to all.

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 2/5

This could have been a real humdinger, because the suspense is maintained right till the end. But it is marred by some glaring plot holes. Sexual activity on the part of the victim is ruled out, but then a potential rape is mentioned, and dropped just as summarily. Huh? The murder weapon doesn’t seem to have been checked for fingerprints: in a case dripping with lists of call records, and forensic teams busying themselves at crime scene. How is it that the weapon doesn’t come up before the script decides it is time, late into the proceedings? What stands out in the film is the tight-knit trio which starts working in tandem to crack the case: time and effort has been spent in creating the team, and each has a distinct character.
