Cinemas, my father's generation used to call it talkies, whereas we comfortably calls it movies, are a form of expressionist art, though costly, can be a suitable vehicle to broadcast a person's view the way he/she is looking into the society - partly or fully. And we now-a-days make ourselves used to accustomed with the subtle fear of terrorist eventualities - be it in any form. This cinema - A Wednesday - directed by Neeraj Pandey is able to depict the increasingly inherent indignation of general people, called collectively as public, towards hollow, mission-diverted eventualities of terrorists. The title of the cinema, like it's main fulcrum Nassirudding Shah , is just 'A Wednesday' - comes with generic specification it may happens on anyday, - not on some specific red calender days India may susceptible for uncanny eventualities! And Nasirudding Shah, here is just a nameless 'stupid common man', implanted five bombs into five different locations of Mumbai in the intend of get rid of cockroaches from his home. It involves some distinct dialogs between Nasirudding and Prakash Rathor, C.P., Mumbai (Anupam Kher) to handover four terrorists from different Mumbai jails, namely - Ibrahim Khan (Mumbai '93 blast), Iflak Ahmed (Gujrat '02 blast), Md. Zalil (Mumbai 06 blast) and Kurshid Lala. As per Nassirudding's claim all the four are taken in Juhu aviation base, guided by two able police officers - Jay Singh (Jimmy Shergill) and Alif Khan (Aamir Bashir) chased by UTV Reporter Naina Roy (Deepal Shaw) and photographer Raj. Pardon me to stop here - lets wrap the story upto watching of the movie.
To me, - the pivotal point is the very last scene of the cinema when Anupam Kher meets Nassiruddin Shaw in face - this is just superb - the way Nassiruddin moves from one shade of his character to the other. All actors are apt, dialogs, direction and detailing (both in scenes as well as in characters) are also proportinate - specially dialogs on Anupam Kher are mingled aptly with witty humor.
This cinema is surely view-able. Stupid Common Man - 'fakhar hai'!
