On a Friday, "A Wednesday"

The feel-good, uplifting experience, which u expect from a Karan Johar or Yashraj films & normally come away disappointed, “A Wednesday” offered! Surprised? Well, so was I!
This was a movie I intended to watch, but it fell under the category of ‘later on dvd!’ But then there was Naseeruddin Shah – from those early Shyam Benegal classics, to the best comedy ever, “Jaane bhi do yaaron” till the recent cameo in “Khuda Ke Liye” where this fine actor gave me goose bumps, he never disappoints!
‘The common man, who is the worst victim of terrorism and communal violence, remains an anonymous face in the crowd & always ‘adjusts’! That’s the tag line of the movie!
What starts of as a routine, well made, crisply edited cop drama, which is impressive by itself … suddenly 'kahani mein twist aata hai', which I won’t reveal because I want u guys to watch this!
Impressive performances by Anupam Kher (what a competent actor!) & the rest of the cast! But the ‘piece-de-resistance’ is of course Naseer.
Light moments are provided by the cool young dude of a hacker, who nonchalantly talks to his girlfriend & informs the commissioner of Police that his equipment is outdated! Aso when the master mind of the bombs planted all over town, gets a call from his wife asking him to pick up 'badaam & kishmish for kheer'!
Have to admit that the plot is implausible, but like the protagonist of “Swades”, what he does, may not be possible to achieve by you or me, but at least, it makes you wish you could!
For “A Wednesday” – Applause!!
