A wednesday


Watched 'A Wednesday' today. First review observation and a forthright one.............great movie. Do watch it. The only audience who won't probably like it might be those who only love mishy mashy lovey dovey type romantic stories and this is not one of them...quite the opposite, in fact, its got none of that....doesnt even have a 'female lead role heroine'. When you see the film you'll know that there are only 2 females in the film.....And another cool thing.........no songs to disturb the focus of the gripping story.....


This one is totally different....... Fresh idea for the story, based on the very serious topic of terrorism and which happens on a wednesday and hence the name. Strong character definition......Anupam Kher as a tough, responsible and a cool and level headed commissioner of police who knows how to handle his men and make his plans and run negotiations with the higher authorities in the face of hell shitty circumstances. Naseeruddin Shah, bad man or whatever (whatever? u must be wondering where did that 'whatever' come from......please see the movie before u form an opinion on his movie character !!!). Aamir bashir....a capable police officer and one of anupam's best men in the police department. Jimmy shergill.....ATS man who is known to be a man who rides an enfield and regularly beats the stuffing out of criminals !!! These 4 characters have made the movie worth its story, there's no doubt about that. The best thing about 'A wednesday' was that it turned out to be something totally different than expected. (For understanding this statement too, watch the movie). All in all.....raapchik movie as we call in mumbai hindi..!!! Well done Mr. Neeraj pandey!!! If I were to rate it on a scale of 5, I'd give it a 4. A four 'coz I would have loved to see a pretty face amidst the face of adversity!!!!
