He is unable to save it

You’re all enthralled with a Manoj Bajpayee flick. After the opening scene’s drama, you’re eager for more action. When you hear about “elliptical blood spatter” and a few other technical details, you would assume that this thriller has a high cognitive level. In fact, “Silence”‘s second installment gets off to a positive start.

In this sequel, Bajpayee plays ACP Avinash Verma, the chief of a special crime team, and he nails the action and sarcastic humor. He asks his supervisor, “If no one important has died, why involve me?” with a hint of a deft undertone.

He quickly determines that a specific female, not the minister’s assistant, was the target of the gunfight at the bar thanks to his cunning. We are intrigued by the game plan for a while, which leads us to several important connections in the case, until her name and her line of work are made clear. However, the apparent hints quickly reveal that this is a collection of red herrings rather than a humdinger.

Undoubtedly, the police, especially this special unit led by Prachi Desai as Inspector Sanjana, operate with a feeling of urgency. It shifts cities and locations. However, the errors are too obvious. Last but not least, you can’t help but laugh when Bajpayee refers to the main suspect, Arjun Chauhan (Dinker Sharma), as a crazy mystery guy and type of theater artist with a clear Shakespearean preference.

In “Silence 2,” the script and directing are misguided and not in an artistic sense. The movie has trouble in a few areas, but above all, it has trouble maintaining the suspense. Ultimately, a great deal of time is spent discussing the whodunit rather than solving the crimes. But the conclusion comes as a surprise. It comes as a surprise, yet it’s as strange. The abrupt turn that is supposed to take our breath away is a little weak. A personal sob tale serves as the justification for the murderer’s heinous actions, which include the trafficking of children.

Being abused might make you behave abusively. Accepted, but not fully absorbed. Although it seems more twisted, the criminal’s gender identification is apparently the major twist. The major discovery doesn’t increase suspense in the story or foster pity for the offender. The movie isn’t saved by the LGBTQ element, depressing statements like “my moral compass is not the same as yours,” and other things. We can only agree when Bajpayee, as ACP Verma, says, “Kuch toh gadbad hai” from time to time. The excellent performer that Bajpayee is, he is undoubtedly a saving grace in this flawed production. However, he has given us more joy in other superior movies and TV shows.

Prachi Desai’s only options for the other members of his team are to hand out her business cards and say the silliest things. Why, in any case, is this movie called “Silence” since nothing about it is striking? Because of how “in your face” the bachelorette party fad is, you don’t feel much sympathy for the little victims. As a compliment to his boss, Verma, team member Amit (Sahil Vaid) remarks, “The devil is in details.” Unfortunately, the movie cannot get the same praise.
