Movie Review: A Wednesday

There have been many movies on terrorism and bomb blasts, and A Wednesday continues with the theme...

Mumbai's police commissioner Prakash Rathod, played by Anupam Kher, receives a call on his mobile - deliver India's 4 most-wanted terrorists to me, or else... The "controller" - Naseeruddin Shah, a 50-something "common man", operating his hi-tech operation from the terrace of a building under construction.

The police machinery kicks off, desperately playing catch up but the controller is always one step ahead... the terrorists are delivered as demanded, and then the movie takes a very interesting twist!

The action is fast paced, aided by a great sound track, and power packed performances by Anupam and his "officers". Naseeruddin is at his best too, his "bhashan" at the end earning claps from the audience.

A small budget movie, but should do well! A good option this weekend!

Naseeruddin Shah was the life of the movie.. I dont think that the movie portrayed our tech savvy police very well.. But Shah defintely made me buy his reasoning

And yes, Jimmy's sarcastic remarks towards the end were good too.. :)
