Movie Name: 7th Day Language : Malayalam Rating : 4/5
The movie begins with the introduction of David Ibrahim (Prithviraj) who is from the Crime Branch SID currently under suspension. Prithvi stumbles across two strangers Vinu and Shan on the night of Christmas Eve in a freak accident and offers to admit them to hospital. One of them, Vinu goes missing from the hospital and is later found dead in what is claimed to be a suicide. Offering to help the other distressed friend Shan, David traces the life of Vinu backwards and finds several interesting revelations in the last 7 days of Vinu's life. As he digs deeper he finds out that Vinu and his group of 4 friends including Shan accidentally crossed paths with a mafia gang operating a fake currency note network causing all the issues. As the film proceeds to the climax to find out who the real killer of Vinu is and to find a solution to the Mafia which continues to pursue Shan, one is in for a real surprise for the way things turn out. David uses his police identity sparingly to extract information from others and puts the pieces together in the puzzle to find out why Vinu committed suicide and why he was involved in the mysterious activities in the past 7 days leading upto his death.
The first half of the movie is slow while the second half compensates for it. Prithviraj comes up with a superb performance yet again. He is aided well by the entire supporting cast.Background score from Deepak Dev is very impressive and apt for the thriller genre that this movie belongs to. The overall movie is dark as an overtone of things yet to come. The highlight of the movie surely is the climax which will surely hit you in a way you never see it coming. Several things in the movie are very implicit and you come out of the theater with a lot of questions. The director effectively conceals information in several scenes to prod the audience to think and arrive at conclusions. Only if one thinks and discusses about the movie even after coming out of the theater, will the spectator completely understand why things happened the way they happened and appreciate the sheer intellect that has gone into the making of this story. While it is totally agreeable that the conclusion is one of the most intellectual and unexpected twists to come in movies of this category, what works against the movie is precisely the same style of story telling which keeps too many things implicit. The film challenges the spectator to think too much on his own by not revealing a bit too much. Unless one is interested in thinking on why the story is so, one might end up thinking that the film was illogical and pointless in the first place. Prithviraj has one more movie to add to his list of memorable movie. He continues to solidify his reputation as a bankable and stupendous actor.Even if you might feel a little bored with the pace at which things move in the first half, stay patient till the end of the movie. It will surely leave you with a smile on your face as it totally deceives you.

A 7th Day of the newcomer Shyamdar develops through a group of five youngsters in a seven-day start from Christmas. As the 7th day after God created the earth by creating the earth for six days, the seventh day of the seventh day, the story of the 7th Day of Akhil Paul's writings is complete. The success of the film is where the shots are shocked. However, it can not be said of a monotonous or unbelievable. In the last minute this tip is over.
Once again débutantes proved to be good. Shyam Dhar being a new comer did his direction very well. His work is above average for a débutante. But the screenplay is lagging. Cinematography is average.
The film is all about friendship, love and a lot of money. The story revolves around a group of friends. As the story starts Prithviraj delivers a monologue saying his thoughts on X'mas and crimes. Later he gets involved in an accident with two youngsters on a bike whose behaviour seems to be odd and suspicious. He offers them help. Here starts the mystery. Prithviraj reveals that he is an IPS officer. From there on everything is thrilling. The plot is full of suspense.
As expected Prithviraj is fantastic. He has done his job very well. He investigates the mystery in an extra ordinary manner. And ultimately we are fed with answers to everything.
But the script is not flawless. "We could expect what is going to happen eventually". But still the climax is fine.
Deserves 7/10

So I was just looking to watch a mystery thriller and saw this on the list and gave it a chance. There was nothing great about anything in this movie. The story was flawed (I have added 8 goofs to the page; feel free to add more i may have missed or correct me). The direction lacked attention to detail like the story. There are numerous twists here and there but they just serve to make you think that's not possible at all. There are holes everywhere you look. I'm crazy about crime, mysteries and so I know what I'm talking about. They hurried through everything recklessly and without thought. Music score was fine. Camera work was fine in most areas but editing was irregular.
Good Movie. Everybody acted well in the movie. The movie was interesting and thrilling at 1st half. The movie bored and lagged a lot at 2nd half. Good Movie.
