Review-- A Wednesday


Powered by: Chakpak.com A Wednesday !

Films about terrorists holding a city to ransom aren't new. It's a theme that's been exploited many times over in the movies, especially in standard Hollywood action films like the Die Hard series.
But the kind of subject A Wednesday deals, was untouched till the movie arrived.
One day Commissioner of Police of Mumbai received a phone call from stranger for releasing four terrorist otherwise the person will explode all the bombs he planted at different locations.On a Wednesday he has given 4 hrs to police to complete the task of accumulating all four terrorist at the place of his choice .For confirmation that he is a terrorist, the stranger has planted a bomb inside a police station as well.Police found the bomb and confirms that this guy is not an ordinary caller and can be really destructive. He uses technology to fool police about his hiding location.He uses media to keep an eye on what is the impact there in middle due to his phone call,Is police actually doing what he wanted? Ultimately he manage to keep police on their toes and four militants were reached where the stranger wanted.Now when we were thinking that any plane would come and all four militants would flee,Suddenly a phone call come from the stranger to the militants and that phone was linked to the bombs .One of the militants pick the phone and bomb explodes. 3 out of four militants died on the spot.The plots unveils the awesome climax . That stranger happens to be a common man and he was frustrated with the fact that militants are the master of their lives and militants can kill a common man anytime.Police is either not able to catch the militant or even after catching militants ,they somehow manage to come out with the help of their peers or laws take 10-15 yrs to complete the process of judgment.The stranger aka common man create a plot to kill all four most dangerous militants.

The story is binding.The script is tight,dialouges are fabulous . The first time Writer and Director Neeraj Pandey did the awesome job.Naseeruddin Shah as a common man who chooses the bold path to finish the terrorists and symbolizes the pain of common man.He has shown the world again that, why he is one of the best actor India has ever produced.He doesn't bagged the limelight though his character was most central.He perfectly symbolizes a common man.Anupam Kher as CP of Mumbai did justice to his role.He has done a brilliant job. But the amidst these two stalwarts Jimi Shergill manages to steal the show ,which is itself a big thing to happen.Aamir Bashir as Jay Singh did a fabulous job.Deepal Shaw was not having much to do in this movie.
The real hero of this movie is Writer and Director Neeraj Pandey.The film has some minor flaws which are ignorable .
Written and directed by Neeraj Pandey, A Wednesday is an engaging thriller with a twist that's more dramatic and unpredictable than anything you're likely to imagine.
I would give this movie 3.5/5 .
