It is not a usual film about bomb blasts and the devastation they cause.
The director Neeraj Pandey has voiced common Indian man in his movie Wednesday.
But it is a movie about retaliation against terrorism. It is a depiction of every man’s dream to live a safe and secure life.
This one and a half hour movie which leaves you puzzled till the end sends a message across the masses that everything is fair in love and war.
It puts forward a point to love oneself. And if you love yourself you won’t live a life full of terror and fear. Instead you would fight against terrorism.
A big question strikes, isn’t that our right? Right to live!
As the story unfolds on a wednesday hence the name.
Wednesday starts with a dramatic phone call to the commissioner of Police, Prakash Rathod (Anupam Kher), asking him to release four militants.
The caller Naseeruddin Shah threatens police to release the militants else he would blow the entire city of Mumbai with his already planted bombs.
The phone call is at first suspected as a crank call but later after the police finds a bomb at the police station they become serious and the investigation starts.
The star cast Naseeruddin Shah and Anupam Kher steal the entire show. Along with Amir Bashir and Jimmy Shergill, the latter is for the first time depicted as an angry police officer rather than his usual lover boy rolls.
The climax is unexpected and it keeps you glued to your seat till the end.
The audience is left speechless as it makes a social statement and targets the general notion of live and let us live.
It is a must see hard hitting thriller with strong script and great performance. And is no doubt one of the best films in recent times.
