Verdict:- A Good Suspense Thriller
7th Day from debutant Syamdhar is a feel good suspense thriller which has Prithviraj in the main role.
David Abraham IPS(Prithviraj) is a crime branch officer who is under suspension. He has been suspended for a reason which will be revealed in later stage of the movie. Even though under suspension, he investigates an unregistered case by himself. On the night of Christmas, David and two youngsters Shaan(Vinay Fort) and Vinu(Anu Mohan) go for a chance encounter which changes their life.The the other three in their gang being Jessy(Janani Iyer) ,Cyril(Praveen Prem) and Eby(Tovino Thomas).These guys tries to escape from a money laundering racket.The investigation would be completed in a span of seven days starting from the day of Christmas to the day of new year. Revealing much about the story would reduce your interest in watching this one. Will David succeed in solving the case ? What will happen on the 7th Day forms the rest of the plot.
The first half of the film drags a bit when the premise of the thriller is set. The second half of the film is brilliant and the climax was a good one. The lack of pace and need of logic arise in the first half. So, 7th Day is an average and good watchable thriller from Prithviraj if you avoid comparison with his other police characters.
Performance
Prithviraj is the back bone of the film. He played his role well in his middle aged look, intense expressions and dialogue delivery. Vinay Fort and Anu Mohan were equally good. Others did justice to their roles.

Music
Music by Deepak Dev, though not outstanding,it is not a let down. BGM was fine.

Direction And Screenplay
Debutant writer Akhil Paul tries to give a serious tone to the narrative by slowing the pace. But he is not much successful in doing that. The script has many loop holes in it. Debutant director Syamdhar has done his part well. He tried much to make this one a dark mood thriller.
Verdict:-7th Day is Just A Good Suspense Thriller...
Rating:-3/5
