A Wednesday – Review

Last weekend I watched this movie. Simply, I would say it is a superb movie. It does not have those masala ingredients or zingy music formula to make it hit. In fact there are no songs at all. This movie also does not cast those frontline heroes or item girls to pull the crowd. Of course there is one item girl [J] but she has got a decent role. This is just a plain thriller that would glue you to your seat till the movie ends. Nasseruddin Shah and Anupam Kher performed the lead roles and they were brilliant. The support cast was consisting of Aamir Bashir, Jimmy Shergill and Deepal Shaw. I liked the role of Jimmy Shergill who plays ATS cop.

Caution: The next part of the text may reveal the story a little, which may act as a spoiler if you have not seen the movie. I am not going to write the complete movie review but some scenes in the movie were good and funny (to me at least) which I want to share.

1. Scene related to bollywood hero Arjun Khanna: The whole underworld call ends up to a crank call by local guys.
2. Scene related to Electric Baba: This is another sequence where director introduced Deepal Shaw as a news reporter. Here she is covering a person who is alive even after accidentally getting an electric shock for 15 minutes! The questions asked are “ How are you feeling now and how you were feeling at during the shock”!! Now days some of our new channels have become full time comedy channels.
3. Scene related to Taxi driver and Traffic police: Here Aamir Bashir interrupts the traffic police who is asking money from a Taxi driver as penalty. He finds that police has taken already Rs20. Now Aamir asks the police to return the money with extra 20 rupees from his pocket.
4. Scene related to Credit card call: There is pin drop silence in the investigation room and everybody is waiting for the call from the Terrorist. They get a call, but from some credit card sales person. This shows that even police commissioners are also not spared from these telemarketing companies!
5. Scene related to young hacker: Here police hires a hacker to crack the location and identity of the caller. When Anupam Kher asks the qualification of the hacker, the hacker tells with lot pride that he is college drop out by choice. In the later scenes it is shown that Naseeruddin Shaw is better than this young hacker!!

Don't miss this movie. This shows the agitated feelings of a common man related to terrorism. Also shows what a common can do to eradicate the unsocial elements. Kudos to the director Neeraj Pandey and its crew.
