Film Review: Silence 2: The Night Owl Bar Shootout streaming on Zee5!!
A shootout at a Bar in Mumbai resulting in the deaths of 10 people including an influential political party member .. A decomposed body of a young girl found in Jaipur !! Are these 2 cases related? Are things actually the way they are made to seem ? Well... that's a puzzle for ACP Verma ( Manoj Bajpayee) and his team from the SCU ( Special crimes unit) to solve !!
The film starts off on a promising note with Manoj Bajpayee, Prachi Desai & Co. From the SCU thrown on the thick of things right from the word go. However as the story progresses, flaws in the script begin to appear and if u r a wee bit observant ( like yours truly 😁) u will guess the killer well before the climax !!
Manoj Bajpayee gives it his all to make the character of ACP Verma human and relatable!!
He is the one to watch out for and the guy doesn't let the "common man" down 🙂
Prachi Desai, a great actor is unfortunately reduced to a character artist just like in Silence1.
In this case a weak script lets the film down . The climax ... really makes u feel as if u r watching a Ekta Kapoor serial !! Having said that.. the film has its moments , especially the investigative part where Bajpai & his team try and find a correlation between the cases . That was enjoyable!
When u compare this film to its predecessor, Silence1, it falls short of expectations as the bar had been set high !! As the ending has been left open for a sequel, the writers need to iron out the rough edges and come up with something more innovative!!
A one time watch .. cudve been better though !!
Going with 2.5/5 for this one !! Adios 🙂
