Shyam Dhar and team made a spectacular thriller. It should be an another hit of thriller kind of movie in malayalam.

The movie written by
debutant Akhil Paul is a crime drama. Prithviraj Sukumaran plays an ageing IPS
officer on the trail of an unnatural case. Prithviraj has also crooned the
title track of the film. His first song was Suryamukham for Puthiyamugham and
the next, Vadakku Vadakku, for Urumi. The movie has been extensively shot in
Ooty, Wagamon and Earnakulam. Theatre artist Vinay Fort of Shutter fame plays a
journalist. The Prithviraj starrer got a clean certificate from the censor
board.. Kollywood baddie Yog Japee will mark his Malayalam debut as a villain
in the movie. The lead actor sports a salt-and-pepper look in the movie
Prithviraj on his
Facebook page said that no other film of his has garnered so much exhilaration
among the online community than this. That too for a movie helmed by debutants
is quite baffling.
But today as the film hits the theatres, after the festival of democracy that the state witnessed, it's up to the movie buffs to decide the festival winner at the theatres.
The Shyamdhar directorial 7th Day, penned by Akhil Paul travails the investigation story of an unregistered case by David Abraham (Prithviraj) in 7 days, which commences on Christmas day and culminates on the New Year's eve.
David
Abraham sports a stylish salt n pepper look while the youngsters in the cast Tovino
Thomas, Anu Mohan, Vinay Fort, Janani Iyer, Praveen Prem were a bit off colour
in their performances. Vinay Fort seemed to be the better of the lot. The first
half moves at slow pace, for setting up the plot and the interval punch makes
you wait for the brisk, intriguing second half in optimism.
It shifts
gears in the second and the climax does score a point. The director Syamdhar
could have used Prithviraj the actor instead of Prithvi the star. Akhil Paul's
script, at times, has some awkward dialogues.
Sujith Vasudev has given a dark shade to the frames and the lighting was brilliant. Deepak Dev's BGM was fine but not the songs.
