MADAARI - From the trailer it was clear that this one looks very similar to A Wednesday . And after watching it i can say it could have been called A Wednesday 2 , although the movie is not composed within a single day here. It was much grander then that , but in the way of being grander it compromised with the sleekness which a thriller needs to be. A Wednesday is a great movie. And i mean that in a literal sense. GREAT is exactly the right word to define that movie. But A Wednesday was not the first movie to show a common man fighting the corrupt government . It was not the concept but the execution style which made A Wednesday such a great movie. It was sleek , tightly edited , a perfect thriller , edge of the seat drama. As i said in the review of TE3N that the most important thing which a thriller needs to have is fast pace . But Madaari didn't have it. Neither it was fast enough to keep you on the edge of your seat nor it has any shocking suspense to twist your mind. Only thing which carry the movie on its shoulders are performances. Irfan is brilliant as always , specially in the hospital scene when he lost his son. Jimmy shergil was good enough playing his own as well as Anupam Kher's character from A Wednesday as a single person. The movie often mixes itself with emotional drama , unnecessary long back story (also having song in back story) which even decreases whatever pace the movie has. Although the climax interview with different authorities of higher post was great. Yes it was too much ANTI GOVERNMENT but it felt really good to hear a Home Minister to confess his corrupt works and agreeing that for government normal public are just toys to play with. Those last 30-40mins saved the movie a little bit with nice support from all the actors including child actor Vishesh Bansal. But i would have liked some shocking reveals , some chasing sequences , some pace in the plot , some more editing , a pure thriller. Without those things it felt like a movie which i have already seen many times in the past. 6.9/10 by ANuP APu KuMaR

I love Irrafan Khan in Life Of Pi. But in this movieshe trying to hard to be unforgettable character that has it's weird moves; he fail miserably. May he RIP. Regarding the plot (child kidnapping - kidnapper with good intentions - smart detective ) just the classic tried of every kidnapping movie. I tried to give it a chance thinking there maybe a twist but NO they just repeatedly taking reaction for every part of the previous tried + same Indian song keep repeated every 20 minutes; even my friend thought it was a commercial break. One thing: the son is got sick after been kidnapped and forced to eat street food. MY QUESTION IS why he didn't got sick when he was ascaping school with his friend and ate form the truck food near by the school!!

I don't exactly know why people are rating this movie so high. Probably because of Irrfan Khan or because they feel emotional about the plot. The movie is poorly written and the dialogues sound like they were written by a 15 year old. I've actually seen better dialogues written for theater by students. The actors are all great, I've seen most of them do some really good roles in other movies but the director failed to get the best out of them. This movie could have been a lot better.

Masterpiece - Natural Acting, Plot Is Very Sentimental & Realastic. Story Is Above Expectation. Irrfan's Great Art Must Watch Every Body , Bollywood Should Make This Type Of Thought Provoking Movie.
