Zed Plus

Really a Movie that refreshes you. In today's movie world of Glamour this movie went unnoticed by many (including me). But one of my friends recommended it. And yes he was right. This is really a fun journey you will enjoy. I will not divulge any details. As it will rob you of the entertainment. But do watch it if you want to have a fun time.

The sweet fight between Aslam and Habib is funny. Kulbhushan is good as PM. The job of Secretary is well done by Raina. And Mona Singh is superb as wife of Aslam. And besides there is inimitable Sanjay Mishra doing the Terrorist job with real fun. In totality it's really a fun journey.

Zed Plus is a classic, breezy, rib-tickling & meaningful Political satire that has come like a whiff of fresh air amidst the superficial potboilers that we are being subjected to watch these days and is a must watch for all real Cine-Maa lovers. Director, Chandraprakash Dwivedi has given Indian audience a masterpiece Political Satire which deals with the issues of a common man with a good dash of humor and entertainment which deals with the previously untouched intricacies and issues associated with the Z security provided by the Indian Government. The best part about the movie is that since the concept of the movie is totally fresh, it engages you into the proceedings right from the first frame but without thrusting itself upon you & entertains you to the core in the first half. No doubt, the movie dips a little in the second half & needed some editing there but still it is worth a watch for its simplicity & unique story telling. It is one of those rare movies which is able to convey the message that it wants to in a light hear-ted manner & without sounding preachy at all.

One of the most powerful political satires in recent times, ‪Zed Plus‬ is yet another gem of a film that bombed at the Indian box-office. Directed by Dr. Chandraprakash Dwivedi, Zed Plus is a delectable satire on democracy and what it stands for in today's context.

The movie doesn't spare religion either and shows us though a bizarre sequence of fortuitous events how a destitute Khadim (Dargah attendant) shockingly ends up with Zed Plus security. What ensues is a fascinating game of political opportunism involving the Khadim and the top leaders of the two opposing political factions.

Zed Plus is a reminder of the sorry state of democracy in the 21st century India. It is also a warning and a great eye-opener. The movie's sad fate at the box-office also proves that Indian audiences merely want escapism in the name of cinematic entertainment. That realism is a completely unwanted entity.

Fantastic movie, better than the mindless comedies of big budgets. Screenplay is not as much intriguing as Peepli live, but still somehow manages to hold till the end. Congratulations to All the cast and crew for a good movie in small budget.

Ok, number one, there are no stars in the movie, only actors and nothing else. All characters are well casted and ALL of them do just to their roles. The hindi-speaking audience will enjoy the movie due to north-Indian hindi dialogues which are well written. Story moves at a nice pace with the logic that is being portrayed doesn't seem to be unrealistic. It is more of a situational comedy with sparks in between. Adil Hussain proves that a good actor can pull off any role thrown at him and excels in it. Not even one character hams. One of the best comedies I have watched.
