REVIEW: A Wednesday is worth it
Why we liked the film:
No sub-plots, no songs, no masala - the best part of the film is its tightly knit plot. Naseeruddin's performance as he calls himself in the film, "voice of the stupid common man" is brilliant. This two-hour-something film has been told in an amazingly precise and gripping manner, while the camera lingers for long periods on Naseer's face as it goes through a gamut of emotions - anger, confidence, disdain and mortal fear. With Naseer, one of the most refined actors of our times, this is a treat to watch.
Some brilliant performances:
It was good to watch Anupam Kher as a level-headed police commissioner who just doesn't sit in his cosy room but bashes up goons as well. Your jaws will drop at the energy he exudes on screen.
But it is Jimmy Shergill who comes as a surprise package in terms of expressions and 'action' in the true sense of the term. We expected a lot more from Aamir Bashir, though.
The only jarring factor in the whole film is when Naseeruddin gets little preachy just before the film reaches its climax. His calm and shrewd persona turns into that of a submissive common man who has faced the harsh realities of life, gone through adversities without a scope to raise his voice and ask, WHY?
Verdict: Watch it for its riveting plot and brilliant performances.
Rating: 3.5/ 5

For any movie having niche ppl like nasir n anupam....Its
obvious tht audience wud get a movie worth watching.....So
such reviews were expected out of dis amazing movie...Really
nice...
Fantastic movie of the year.
Mistake, it was miss jaya biswas( and not my naseer and mr
anupam, who are ofcourse the actors
). Silly me
Firstly, i loved the movie. Its high density, engaging and
punch(in all sense of the word) filled film.
i comment here only to dispense my displeasure at the
review and of course the reviewer(s). If u are reviewing a
movie and you like it too, its always advisable to not give
away the strongest point in the movie. Especially, you guys
because your write up is on buzz18.
so its my sincere request to mr naseer and mr anupam to
take care of what you reveal the next time you review.
so much said, i always look forward to your reviews every
friday afternoon. Thanks
