Madaari

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.

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.

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!

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

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.
