A WEDNESDAY (2008) - (Movies To See Before You Die - Thriller)

First of all I wish to thanks “Mr. Ronnie Screwvala” for being a unique producer who has the guts to back up projects like “A Wednesday”. Secondly, Kudos to writer & director “Neeraj Pandey”, who brings a fresh & new wave in the vast ocean of Hindi Cinema. “A Wednesday” is not a big movie, but it is many times powerful than any of those 50-70 crores projects being talked about in the news. It’s a movie which shows the signs of intelligence and the art of film making flowing in the veins of our young directors. It’s a movie made with courage, with conviction and with a strong point to raise in favor of a common man.

Without giving away the main plot, the story is about confrontation between a common man played by Naseeruddin Shah, who has planted bombs in the city and Anupam Kher, the Police Chief of the city. In simple words it’s like fire between two stalwarts of our Hindi Cinema and they both make the movie just worth watching. “A Wednesday” certainly takes its place among the Top10 movies of both Naseeruddin Shah & Anupam Kher. And the director “Neeraj Pandey” is a talent to watch out in the coming future. A highly recommended movie to be seen as a compulsion, even at the cost of a holiday from your work.
