Movie Review - A Wednesday

Rating - 4/5

Breathless in "Bomb"ay

Fast paced. No Songs. Stellar performances. Tight script.

What more could you ask for in a thriller.

A few observations I made during the film:

1) The director has clearly side tracked the communal issue. That is by not identifying Naseeruddin Shah's religion, he has tried to avoind any cynicism in the film. This has worked in his favour.

2) The final twist in the story seemed just a little bit implausible. Something like Rang De Basanti. But while the second half of RDB was completely stupid, this had some semblance of feasibility.

3) In the beginning we are shown Naseruddin Shah leaving a bag in CST station. What happened to that?

4) Also, I did not understand the Jimmy Shergill's opening scene. He came across as a bad cop (helping the guy get out of jail into the hospital) but then throughout the film he is all goody goody.

All in all, a good film worth a watch.
