Director:- Syamdhar

Cinematography:-Sujith Vaassudev

Screenplay:-Akhil Paul

Music:-Deepak Dev

Editing:-John Kutty

Our Rating:-3/5

Starring:-Prithviraj,Vinay Fort

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.

Technical Aspects

Sujith Vaassudev's camera work was brilliant. His dark shaded frames were excellent. 

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

Editing:-Praveen Prabhakar

Our Rating:- 3/5 

On the whole , London Bridge is a fine romantic drama set against the backdrop of London city which revolves around a rich guy & two beautiful women .

Vijay Das ( Prithviraj ) is a young successful Malayalai businessman who lives in London. He runs some corner shop & he also is a money lender. Vijay reached London after his college life & struggled a lot to attain a good status there. Vijay goes for clash with a man who has borrowed some money from him & didn't return back the amount on time.Later Vijay comes to know that the man who borrowed money from his was much respected by CS Nambiar(Prathap Pothen) a well known business tycoon in London. Vijay approaches Advocate Francis(Mukesh) who helps him in all emergency situations & they decide to meet CS Nambiar. Nambiar gets impressed with his nature & asks him to marry his daughter Pavithra( Andrea Jeremiah) who is very much interested in doing charity works. One day while Vijay was going to meet Pavithra , his car hits Merin Elsa John( Naditha Raj) who was new to city. She came there to work as a nurse in a hospital there. Merin's one hand gets paralyzed in the accident. Vijay visits the hospital where Merin works to impress Pavithra. Vijay forms an attachment toward Merin. Pavithra is also impressed with Vijay's nature & helping mentality & she falls in love with Vijay. Vijay has to find an answer to choose the right person for his life. This forms the rest of the plot.

So , London Bridge is a decent romantic entertainer which is a bit slow paced. It has some flaws but it has some essence in it. 

Performance

Prithviraj performed well as Vijay Das with his looks & style & also with good performance. Andrea as Pavithra was also good. Nanditha Raj too gives decent performance with her cute looks & style of action. Prathap Pothen,Mukesh,Lena,Sunil Sukhada all did their roles well. All the other characters did justice to their roles.

Music

The music in this film was good. The Background score done by  Gopi Sundar dwells with the mood of the film. Two songs 'Kannadi Vathilil','Ennum Ninne' are impressive. The rest of the songs are not much impressive.

Technical Aspects

Cinematography by Jithu Damodar was excellent. He has captured the beautiful locations of London with much brilliance. The camera angles were good.

Direction & Screenplay

Jinu Abraham's script has many loop holes even thought it entertains. He could have tried more to make the script & dialogues much more impressive so that it creates a difference & makes it more interesting.

Anil C Menon had tried well to make the movie a good one. His direction was good even though it's not much impressive.

Verdict:- London Bridge is A Watchable Feel Good Romantic Drama...

Rating: -3/5
