Surprisingly incoherent and boring

one of my absolute favorites!

disgusting, overrated, pointless

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

A retiring police officer reminisces about the most astounding day of his career. About a case that was never filed but continues to haunt him in his memories - the case of a man and a Wednesday. A Wednesday is a film that was made in India and it makes perfect sense because except some good cinematography this was a horribly slow pacing drama that went on and on, the acting was horrible and the actors didn't try enough and sorry to say this but it doesn't deserve the rating it got in IMDb because it's just simply bland and an overly long failure. (0/10) (F)

In recent years the film A Wednesday has been much talked about. The subject is contemporary, and overall the director manages to weave an engaging fare. While watching the film I found it quite riveting embellished by great performances by Anupam Kher and Naseeruddin Shah.However, when the film ended and I pondered over it, some thoughts/question came to my mind for which I didn't find a convincing answer. If the character of Naseeruddin Shah is representative of the common man, how come he got hold of so much explosives – RDX – which he kept inside a 'J & K' marked bag in a police station (as shown in the initial portion of the film). The greyness of the character of Naseeruddin ought to have been hinted at – this I felt a weakness of the film – the lack of character development of its main character. Moreover, the hacker engaged to trace the calls of the mastermind concedes towards the end that Naseer is the best (and so by implication he is unable to trace his whereabouts), then how come Anupam Kher lands up in the same building which Naseer used for his operations as shown in the end?

One of the best movie I have ever seen in my life. The lead actors of the movie are the two among the greatest actors of the bollywood industry. A movie for any sort of man, any age, any gender..... The ending is in the way a viewer would demand. Brilliant work and direction, filled with emotions, drama, action and leaves you with a fresh feeling after watching. Every scenes gives excitement and asks questions. Purely based on the power of a common man, who being frustrated to the terrorism just takes the police department in hands make use of the weakness of the department to kill the terrorists. You will definitely love the movie. Though its a Wednesday but you can watch the movie on any day. Please do watch the movie.

What its about (No spoilers):A Wednesday is a Bollywood Terrorist vs Police thriller. As its title suggests, the entire movie takes place over the course of a single Wednesday. The movie is mainly a battle of wits type movie where the main protagonist and antagonist do not really meet face to face, not unlike the 'Death Note' series and the Sherlock- Moriarty storyline in the Sherlock Holmes series. Neeraj Pandey did a very good job directing and writing this movie, which was his debut. The fast editing cuts felt very similar to that of certain terrorism scenes in Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight, and they made the scenes a lot more heart pounding. The throbbing soundtrack further adds to this sensation. Characters:The variety of characters added, such as a reporter, police officers and police commissioner provide depth to the situation and show how one man is affecting various people. These characters were set up particularly cleverly, by leaving audiences in the dark regarding their importance to the storyline for most of the first act.The terrorist was very interesting to watch, partly because of the methodical way that he operated. He also is given a measure of vulnerability, which made him more human and all the more interesting. The heroes are a little less interesting, but the procedures they use to try to solve the problem are entertaining non the less. Story and themes:The script is tightly woven, with barely any dull moments. Utilising action over dialogue to tell the story, it commands attention. Some moments, like the first scene in the movie, did feel a little unnecessary, and seemed to be added just for the stylistic effect of foreshadowing. For the most part, the plot is very believable, and they show all the terrorists actions systematically, leaving no room for plot holes. However, I had a slight issues with the twist at the end. It was slightly anti climatic, and while I could understand the reason behind it, I can't say I wasn't hoping for more. Also, I did not see the point in some scenes with a certain violent police officer, and they could have developed his character in a much shorter time. Some very thought provoking themes were also brought up. Questions about the legal system and the damage that one man could cause were addressed. While these themes aren't novel in any way, they are still relevant. The film makers thankfully did manage to communicate these questions in a way that wasn't too preachy. Verdict:By balancing thrilling drama with thought provoking themes, A Wednesday's position as one of the most well received Bollywood Dramas is justified. While not on the same level as Christopher Nolan's masterpiece, I can see why many refer to it as 'India's Dark Knight'.
