Synopsis

The film opens with young Ritu (Shraddha Arya) inviting her friend Jia (Jiah Khan) to spend the holidays with her at her home in Kerala. Ritu's parents Vijay (Amitabh Bachchan) and Amrita (Revathi) make a beautiful home surrounded by picture-perfect surroundings. Vijay is a photographer and Amrita is a homemaker.

Jia has a dark past. Her mother lives alone in Australia and Jia studies in India. She is a free spirited girl with no attachments and no worries. She professes some affinity to Vijay but it doesn't go much further than that. But Vijay's world is turned upside down when he takes pictures of Jia watering herself down with the garden hose. Something innocent grows into something bigger, and something bigger grows into something beyond control.

Jia's world collides with Vijay's world. Around this time, Amrita's brother Shridhar (Nassar) visits them. Through a sequence of events, he uncovers the disturbing truth about Jia and Vijay. The collision of worlds, result leaves three casualties.

The film was shot in 20 days.[1] The movie was shot at Munnar in Kerala.[2] The claim that it was inspired by Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita was denied by Amitabh Bachchan in the CNN IBN TV show Unspoken relationships - Nishabd special (3 March 2007).


Recently Ram Gopal Verma has been served with a High Court notice for infringement of the movie title by award winning Bengali filmmaker Jahar Kanungo whose film titled Nisshabd won the Cinemaya Best Film and Best Actress award in 2004.[3]
