×

Rating:3.5

Seven friends, which comprises three couples and one divorcee, get together for a house party. They play a game that that involves placing their mobile phones on the table and answering every call on loudspeaker and reading every message out aloud. As secrets come tumbling down, will they be able to handle them?

The concept of Loudspeaker is very novel. The film tries to look a the current generation who are hooked to their mobiles and lead lives with multiple masks. What happens when these masks are taken off? This film tries to look at this scenario in an interesting manner with a refreshing narrative and dialogues. 

The film begins with seven friends meeting for a weekend house party. When one of them suggests that they play a game that involves all their phones being kept on the table and every call should be taken on loudspeaker. What seems like a fun game ends up causing more trouble than what they imagined. Secrets come tumbling out of the closets and people's dual lives come to the front. Will they be able to deal with this?

The concept of Loudspeaker is novel. It tries to hold a satirical mirror to today's society and has some really good dialogues that hit the bull's eye. There are certain good performances, though one also feels some of the acting seems amateur, which is where the film falls short. Nonetheless, this film does seem to offer a novel experience in terms of story and intent, which is different from the run-of-the-mill commercial dramas. You could give this a watch.
