Another meaningful movie of this year. Yet another time Irfan khan has proved his acting prowess. This is a story of a common man who stands against the corrupt system to search answers; answers which are harsh and even if we know them nothing will change. But knowing them are very much necessary for us. The story telling of the movie is good and I would say that would go to the brand of Nishikant Kamat. But what I personally liked the most about this movie is that it has pointed out the fact that what might happen in real-life and what we pay to see in reel-life if any commoner takes such a bold step. This movie emphasizes the fact that GOVERNMENT IS NOT CORRUPT, BUT THE GOVERNMENT IS FORMED TO DO CORRUPTION. People may change,leaders may change political colors may change but corruption survives and we the common people let it survive by paying with our lives in the end.

Madari is a realistic movie which shows what's going on in the current society. I don't know why critics are reviewing this movie based on visuals, commercial elements or weekend collections.

Corruption became part of the life in India. I hope people will realize what we are losing exactly by not taking this as a serious issue. Forget about outside enemies or extremists - We have to act fast to keep our country safe from this dangerous enemy within. Wake up and fight this gangrene. It's now or never...

As usual Irfan portrays common-man character with ease. Kid Vishesh and Tushar also performed well.

My rating is 9/10. Go and watch it!

It's a gem of a movie, largely carried on by Irrfan Khan and an expressive chunk of kid (Vishesh Bansal) & grit of Jimmy Shergill (he is wasted though). The depiction of Father-Son relation is directed beautifully ...u can actually fall for them 

In here Irrfan doesn't try to be the one man army fighting against the system unlike almost all vigilante justice movie, instead he lets the situation, grief and purpose drive the movie with his exceptional acting (among the best v have seen) especially the post- accident hospital sequence is gut wrenching. The dialogues carry punch and tears apart our psyche.

Nishikant Kamath's best direction after Mumbai Meri Jaan, though the movie falls short at some instances but they are well overlapped by Irrfan Khan's brilliance 

If you loved A Wednesday u will admire Madaari

P.S: it is a shame that such movie will hardly gather 10% of what BRAINLESS movies earn this days... no doubt we are living in denial !!!

Bollywood is a big industry and it is growing reaching Hollywood. People like Irrfan Khan in Bollywood are the real actors. Bollywood is reaching to Hollywood because of the actors like Him.

There are some actors who are well known by all over the world, I don't want to show their names, everybody know them, those actors who are just curious about their image, curious about typical "Gunda" and many type of movies, but the real Heroes are these people like Irrfan, who just focus on real public issues.

Director Nishikant Kamat is day by day progressing, and I congrats him for making this movie. The Music was less its OK, I am talking about slow Music that instantly touches the heart.

Please Watch these kind of movies, and don't forget to tell people about this movie. and Irrfan Hats off to you sir.

Madaari, a Social-Thriller film by Nishikant Kamath, is one more attempt by a filmmaker to take head-on with the corrupt systems existing in our country. It is very much inevitable to draw parrallels with Neeraj Pandey's 2008 film 'A Wednesday'. A Wednesday was an engaging thriller with an unimaginable and unpredictable dramatic twist, which was set on the premise of terrorism. The underlying concept of Madaari is also the same, i.e. when a common man decides to raise his voice against the powerful, it does make a difference. I would admit that Madaari might lack the action-packed thrilling sequences as that of Wednesday, but Madaari has its own strengths and it also very successfully conveys the message. Although as a viewer, I did feel disillusioned. Not because the film is not good, but because, the subject of the film is so relevant. We are aware of these shortcomings of our society, system, government, hardly doing anything to change the system, still unable to bring any changes. But at least an effort to convey a pertinent point through such films generate hopes of changes in the outlook towards world and also making world a better place to live.

When he gets angry, you get angry. When he laughs, you laugh. When he cries, you cry. Irrfan Khan is one of the few actors of modern day cinema who carry unique ability to glue their audience with the celluloid moment in which they create their own reality. An Actor, who has achieved a sort of iconic status lately, has reappeared in his latest Bollywood venture "Madaari" directed by Nishikant Kamat who has previously directed films like "Mumbai Meri Jaan" and "Force". With powerful content, nonlinear storytelling with flashbacks and emotionally charged performance by Irrfan Khan, "Madaari" connects its viewers on their subconscious level and alleviates them to such an emotional state where it becomes difficult for them to differentiate between real and reel pain. A society in which corruption has become daily routine and importance of a human life is always the last thing in the mind of ruling elite, justice seems like a Utopian idea. Under such circumstances a powerless commoner who is also grieving for death of his only son in man-made disaster, can either go for ending his own life or he can take completely different route by seeking answers from individuals who are indirectly accountable for the death of his son. By kidnapping only son of India's Home Minister, equivalent to Interior Minister of Pakistan, he creates such havoc in the heart of powerful ruling elite which eventually make them bow to his demands. Curiosity, anxiety and events leading to penultimate stage of the film are so profound which twitch viewers' sense of seemingly "All OK" perception and create such an impact drama on silver screen which pokes us hard. Nishikant Kamat has skillfully used the talent of Irrfan Khan like an error-free technician who wants nothing but excellence on every frame in which Irrfan Khan appears. In today's world of Indian cinema where only content-less films crossing 100 Crores are important, "Madaari" is an anomaly which blatantly challenges pseudo-realm of typical Bollywood masala flicks. From the first frame to last 'Madaari' is an Irrfan Khan's film but Jimmy Shergill as Investigating Officer Nachiket Verma impresses with his serious but meticulous performance. On the whole "Madaari" is a kind of film which gives you goose bumps and silent moments when you come out of cinema hall and words from Faiz Ahmed Faiz's famous poem "Bol Kay Lub Azaad Hain Tery" are said during final credits of the film in husky voice of Irrfan Khan. --I wrote this review in 2016--

Nishikant tried to showcase the anger of common man against system and corruption similar Neeraj Pandey did in A Wednesday. Script was simply brilliant however climax need more thriller and more drama. Dialogues were really awesome and have punch. Nishikant has beautifully captured Father-son bonding in flashback. Impeccable performance from Irrfan with full emotions, grief,broken heart. Jimmy was terrific in the role of canny cop. Vishesh was good in role of kidnapped boy. Tushar was looking great in helpless father role as well as powerful home minister role. Nitesh role will remind you Deepal Shaw role in A Wednesday.There was not much scope for Music.

This is such a powerful film, and not just a film, but a powerful statement. The plot of the film deals with a man who has lost the only thing in life that is dear to him.

As a single parent, Nirmal Kumar(Irrfan Khan) life is fulfilled by caring for this little boy. All the spare time he has he spends with his son, playing with him and teaching him. On one occasion his son remarked about the whereabouts of his mother and he said that she left him for a career in the United States.

However Nirmal's life is shattered by an unforeseen calamity. I will not reveal more - you will have to see this brilliant film directed by an extraordinary director: Nishikant Kamat. I have already seen his previous films: Force(2011), Drishyam(2015) and Rocky Handsome(2016). I have also seen him act in the film 404(2011).

I have mentioned again and again how impressed I am with Irrfan Khan's steady rise in Bollywood. He is becoming the undisputed people's champion with films like these. I enjoyed his performance in Billu Barber(2009) and again in The Lunchbox(2013). In this film he is at the pinnacle of his acting prowess. He has managed to make tears fall from my eyes at many points in this film.

This is a powerful psychological drama and very relevant in today's world. The effect new digital technology is making in spreading information quickly around the world is shown in this film. Smartphones are by the billion in India, and then we have the newer iPads. So technology wise, a lot has changed in India. The age-old problem of government corruption in India is re-emphasized. Before I forget, I would like to mention the superb music in the film by the veteran music director Pritam. He has directed music in such hits like Dhoom(2004), Gangster(2006), Jab We Met(2007), Race(2008) and Bajrangi Bhaijaan(2015).

More film recommendations: Aakhree Raasta(1986), Hatya(1988), Dayavan (1988), Prahaar: The Final Attack(1991), Indian(1996), Yeshwant(1997).

Very special mention Kireedam(1989). This blockbuster film was remade in Hindi as Gardish(1993) directed by Priyadarshan. Kireedam has a sequel film Chenkol(1993) which was never dubbed or remade in Hindi.

Having watched A Wednesday, I was really looking forward to another common man seeks justice movie that would be as riveting and suspenseful as the former. Alas I was disappointed! Madaari is a slow- paced movie with average dialogues that are only rescued by the acting prowess of Irfan Khan and the boy, Vishesh Bansal. If not for them, I might not have been able to sit through the entire movie.

Without giving away the plot, I felt that the reason Irfan Khan was seeking revenge against the government was not as justified and thus I was unable to root for him as much as I wanted to. The climax also felt underwhelming and lacked the necessary punch. Overall, the movie was too long and could have been so much more. 6/10

I like Nishikant Kamat storytelling style and I liked his other films. His other films like "Force " was a good film and "Drishyam" was a very good film. But after these two good film he delivered a underperformed poor film which is "Rocky Handsome". But "Madari" sure surpassed his previous two ventures "Force" and "Rocky Handsome". I want to say this type of story is very fair choice and very rare for Bollywood cinema. Actor like Irrfan Khan is always good to watch in the big screen and I enjoy his acting. I felt sometimes that his overconfidence may be harmful for the roll but after complete the whole movie I want to say he is the perfect choice. Low budget movie, story dependent plot, no superstar cast… that all created very good environment for Irrfan and Nishikant also. This is a very enjoyable movie for low expectation holder audiences.

I already said that I like Nishikant Kamat's storytelling style and I like his movie's fast paced tone. But this movie may be had some shortage of pace and have some continuity problem. The director and Irrfan has done good job but screenplay has some basic problems like believable incidents and the consequences of one subplot after one. These two cause a huge problem which may be turned this movie into a commercial failure. Otherwise if you want to watch a good thriller and want to enjoy good acting, this movie will be the most fair choice for you.

After all this is a revenge story but remember this is not a typical one. This story is about Nirmal Kumar (Which is played by Irrfan) and how he takes his revenge against the social system and mainly against the politics. Actually Dirty and Corrupted politics will be appropriate term. You are may be thinking that it is not fresh and you already watch dozens of this type of movie but remember this is not typical routine movie. The story is true and there are lots of twists and suspense. Sometimes I was get confused that, "Really ….This was happened in real????. Some incidents really hard to believe and the editing and screenplay failed to convince you at those points.

Performance wise Irrfan was good, Jimmy Shergil was also good. Direction of Nishikant Kamat was above average, screenplay and editing was also above average and other technical aspects are above average.

Masterpiece - Natural Acting, Plot Is Very Sentimental & Realastic. Story Is Above Expectation. Irrfan's Great Art Must Watch Every Body , Bollywood Should Make This Type Of Thought Provoking Movie.

Watched it after 2 years for the second the and cried again. This is one of the finest movies in the history of Bollywood.

Rising above all the shortcomings, it's Irrfan's effort that shoulders the complete burden of this flick. Substandard story, but good direction and great acting by Irrfan and kiddo Vishesh Bansal.

After the long gap, we get another original film from Kamath. Casting Irfan Khan as a lead was the best decision for this, who was already doing different sub-genres of road movie by then. This is a classic high-octane drama being a crime thriller. Having said that, it criticises the trope of revenge sagas by revealing the futileness of the same in the end. I liked that they even bashed the media industry, but had to cut something because of having slow pace.

Boring movie and same pathetic corruption concept,only irrfan's acting kept movie alive and manipulate my mind to give 6*

A madaari enjoys a powerful and gripping image in our thoughts as the one who makes his subjects dance and move to the tunes of his damroo. It's never a pleasant show when the damroo gets in the wrong hands, making a mess of things that later proves fatal for the society at large. With this message beautifully rendered by Irrfan Khan through Madaari, it is a statement made that every Indian has to realize and face. A delicately handled plot of how a father loses his son to irresponsible acts of the powerful men, Madaari challenges your thoughts and actions against injustice. Irrfan loses his beloved son to a mishap caused due to the greed of some men, who take things for granted until it's their turn to lose the dear ones. Irrfan had superbly carried the image of a grieving father who is now determined to make his voice heard and his actions seen. Jimmy Shergill compliments the movie's flavor with a completely satisfactory performance as a cop, wonderfully captured by the director, Nishikant Kamat. The first half is a little slow, but engaging, with a second half that completely engrosses you into the story. A must watch if you are looking for quality content and some superb storytelling. An interesting portrayal of how everyone wants change but nobody wants to act for the change, justifying the tag line of the movie 'Sshhh, Desh So Raha Hai'.

WHAT TO ADD WHAT TO LEAVE.....EVERY SECOND OF THE MOVIE IS MASTERPIECE.........

IRFAN SIR AND KAMATH SIR BOTH ARE MATCHLESS.........

ROHAN ALIAS VISHESH BANSAL IS AWESOME .......

Irrfan Khan is one of the most respected & versatile actors in the Filmdom today & with 'Madaari', he reinstates that fact once again. He's in full tormented form as an angry common man, but the film, comes up short. Though compelling in parts, the film never comes up powerful enough.

'Madaari' Synopsis: A man named Nirmal loses his Son in a man-made disaster, after which, he starts the journey of seeking answers asking for accountability which urges him to take revenge.

'Madaari' is about a common man's fight with the corrupt politicians, that run the government. Neeraj Pandey's masterful A Wednesday depicted a common man's anger with thumping rage, but 'Madaari' is only compelling in parts. Though I liked the fast-pace & the sub-plot involving the father & son, the narrative, somehow, loses its steam by the time it reaches its culmination, which ideally, should've been the best part. The first-hour nicely builds-up, but the second-hour lacks the power, one expects from it.

Ritesh Shah's Screenplay has some great moments, but it isn't foolproof. Nishikant Kamat's Direction is surprisingly restrained this time & that works on his advantage. Cinematography is top-notch. Editing is finely done. Art & Costume Design are fair.

Performance-Wise: Irrfan delivers a sincere, central performance as the enraged common man. Note the sequence right after his son dies, its heart-breaking. Giving Irrfan full support is the underrated yet remarkable Jimmy Shergill, who's pitch-perfect as the CBI-Officer who's tracking him down. The child actor, who Irrfan kidnaps & later builds a friendship with, is cute. Tushar Dalvi is first-rate. Others lend fair support.

On the whole, 'Madaari' is, at best, a decent film with some impressive performances.

A movie literally with watching. Great acting by Imran Khan sir and Jimmy Shergill. Most underrated movie of the bollywood.

Watched it only for master class acting done by Irrfan and Jimmy sir
