The Silence of Day is, in itself, a symbol of extant optimism about our Earth. As a species, we have primarily moved towards outer space with a colonial outlook, even though we regard it with a curious outlook. We offer one view among many others: optimism about the Earth does not counter optimism about Space. An equitable future is always in the cards, and every move we make to improve our impact on Earth’s climate is a move for an equitable future. The Silence of Day is possibly the worst outcome we could suffer as a species, and we hope it never comes to that. This film emerged in a back-and-forth collaboration between Vishal J. Singh (of Serpents of Pakhangba), and the director, Niranjan Raghu. A shorter, lighter cut of the film led to Vishal scoring over it. This score was vast, and carried so much additional weight and meaning, it inspired a detailed rewrite from the director. This is the version that is being finally released, one the creators present with hope, as well as a healthy dose of paranoia.
Reviews

“Post Apocalyptic Brilliance!
Very deeply engaging experience, viewing and listening to The Silence of Day. While I am familiar with Vishal’s amazing musical aesthetics, to watch this piece unfold visually along with the score was a joy. The vfx are brilliantly conceived and brutally gentle, the play of sunlight and the electrifying cross are fascinating and the Howard Roark architecture is spectacular! I wouldn’t change even a single frame, nor a single note. Looking forward to seeing more work in this genre, and I wish you all the very best. Niranjan and Vishal have excelled beyond anything one sees in this country of ours.”

"Interesting collaboration. Thoughtfully made. Futuristic. Cinematography, music, story..all great.”

“The Mechanical Eye AKA The Camera has found its place everywhere in our world. Doors, Alleys, Bathrooms, Mobiles, Roads, Cars, Space, Underwater, Everywhere - apart from the images we are creating for news, films, vlogs, sports etc. Most of these images become mundane and useless. Like small waves or insignificant experiences, they perish from our collective memory and get cryogenized inside a hard drive.
That is when works of art like 'The Silence of Day' come into the picture. The collision and amalgamation of the extraordinary musical-scape by 'Serpents of Pakhamba' intercepts the image-timeline, creating an absolute flow. The experience of watching the film was immersive and I am looking forward to more such resurrections from The Team.”
