A Wednesday - Movie Review

Terrorism has become such a part and parcel of everyday life in India, that some of us has just learned to live with it.

A Wednesday, picks up on this thought and makes it into a good movie.

Unfortunately, elaborating on the storyline even a bit gives away the story.

The movie stars 2 stalwarts of Indian Cinema, Anupam Kher and Naseeruddin Shah who face off in a movie about a terrorist act that is gripping and conveys a very poignant message.

The rest of the cast includes, Aamir Bashir a everyday honest cop with a family and Jimmy Shergill who plays a cop who is never more than a few seconds away from bashing someone’s face in.

The only disappointment in the movie the is the acting of Deepal Shaw who plays the role of a TV Journalist, she seems very out of touch with reality and is very amateurish in her performance. I would even say it takes a bit of sheen off the entire show.

But on the whole it’s a brilliant movie that makes a statement on life in India today that is always in the grip of terror.

Kudos to the director and writer who made a good movie. I’d say on the whole 4 out of 5. Go watch it.
