A Wednesday on a Tuesday.

Well, am talking about the movie "A Wednesday" that I watched yesterday the Tuesday. Why not Wednesday you ask, well I have a late night meeting tonight that's why. hehe.

Anyway, this movie is a Naseeruddin and Anupam Kher starrer with few other low profiled but yet good actors on the support. The casting seems perfect except for Deepal Shaw, what were they thinking putting her in a reporter's role, she can barely squeak the lines. Naseeruddin stands out in the movie as an extortionist demanding the release of 4 terrorists and Anupam Kher being the Commissioner of Police with the hi-tech war room at his disposal to track the baddies. Jimmy Shergill looked good for the role, wonder why talented actors one like himself don't get to be in many movies. Basheer was great, especially the first interview he gives on camera - that was funny.

The dialogues are impressive, they are crisp and witty. The first half, slow but introduces us to all the main characters, their signatures and the current pitiful state of Media(news channel in particular). Its the second half that gets you excited. The climax with Shah speaking out his intentions and reasons seemed a bit of a drag, though it carries a message to all Indians, it could have been made a lil' shorter and straight to the point. Seemed like the director was trying to justify the climax.

All in all, a good movie to watch, and the best part its over in less than 2 hrs. A clean straight intelligent movie worth watching if you appreciate one.
