There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Do you want do watch a thriller Bollywood movie similar to decent ones like Drishyam? Don't even think about watching this one. The movie's biggest problem is its ridiculous style. Every time it's meant to be dramatic, it uses slow motion along with some unbelievably overdramatic music. Two cheap ways to create excitement - and it doesn't work at all in A Wednesday. The production quality isn't exactly good either. Aside from the uninspired shots of the Mumbai rooftops, the sound effects is an embarrassment. They aren't believable and they use the same ones in every fight. "Is some getting kicked twice? Lets use the same lame sound effect twice after one another." I've never noticed sound effects this bad before. But here it is impossible to ignore. The plot is a typical "terrorist blackmailing the police"-one. With a man sitting on a rooftop, making demands from a series of untraceable calls. But we don't get to see the people that he threatens to kill, so its hard to really care about the stakes. The only reason I managed to see this entire movie without falling asleep was the high tempo. All other aspects of this movie are terrible. Overall, this doesn't feel like a top 250-movie at all. More like a mediocre TV-movie. Watch something else. Anything.

I always associated Indian Movies with Bollywood. Some guys singing and dancing. Women very high of course. If you are an european like me and you want to experience another kind of indian movie. No singing and dancing guarantued.What fascinated me - and I keep myself short as I do not want to spoil a lot - the philsoophical approach on certain quesions of life that are transported in this movie seem to have a different touch as western movies. A bit more honest actually.... I liked this movie.

While I understand A Wednesday did some good job in heavy uplifting patriotism, is it enough for it to be placed into top 250? I do not think so. I see most of the reviews are a bit, how to put it, "overly-benevolent", I suppose written by people moved by the message.While movie have some interesting moments, it is slow paced, unimaginative, predictable, unrealistic and in my opinion, too long. Come on, I feel like 75% of all scenes was just a cops and politicians playing important while heroic music plays - that's it - good guys walking in a corridor (lot of corridors out there, believe me) and music, talking to a phone (you mostly cannot hear what they are saying) and music, waiting in a car and music, sitting, standing and so on. But the story was there, it just the movie should have been shorter by half. Occasional action is laughable. That is said, if you can call a scene of a some sort of cop beating some sort of thug into a pulp with his 90's midi sound waves superpower (checked, nobody came to any real harm for sure) an action. But short laugh usually came to end shortly afterwards, as some pretty nasty humiliating moments happened to the bad guys (they all are...bad guys...right?), which made me a bit sick (hooray - true emotion).So to wrap it up, it is a movie showing message of hatred to the bad guys. You hate them bad guys? Then it is a chance you will enjoy this movie. I know terrorism and stuff is a bad thing and so on - OK, but make a quality movie about it, then I bet it will be welcomed into top 250 with open arms.

Oh, this was a hell of a bad movie. I let myself be misguided by the good ratings.The music was probably the only positive in this movie. The special effects were horrible. The bomb blowing up at the airport scene? Oh my.. something like this could only be created in India. There was some guy who got scared by a man threatening him on the phone, but it seems it was an "out of the story" scene. We have some bully-policeman, who beats everyone up. Well.. I'm not surprised why India is still in the place it is if the locals approve that. There's only one step from being fond of a character like that to using the same methods in one's real life. And then we have husbands treating wives like this, parents treating children like this etc. And these children later grow becoming terrorists. The bully gets shot by the other policeman and no one cares that it's a bullet from a police gun. Well.. I suppose the viewer should assume that all the police is corrupt and will cover that. An the end the movie is not credible for also one simple reason. No government fulfills terrorists's demands. If they would, anyone could simply demand something and expect it to be realized. So.. NO. It's just another unjustly high rated pseudo-moral movie from India.
