What a incredible story of A Thursday the bgm of the movie is too good & the expression of Yami Gautam are excellent... The movie is good too watch... 😍😍😍
Story: A nursery (probably) school teacher take hostages her children and asks for ransom. What's the deeper reason behind her stunt is what the story is about.
Cinematography: Justified. The surroundings where children dwell, where policemen are present, office of authorities, etc are pictured well.
Direction: The story is simple. It is efficient in striking the audience. Direction is justified
Final Verdict: When such situation come, no PM will confront directly even if it's for children. This is where story falls unrealistic. The teacher would have lost her life for such a stunt. For entertainment purpose it's great.

My Rating : 7/10
Bollywood doesn't make very many of these and the few they do make fall short somewhere or other. 'A Thursday' however delivers from the start and gets to work!
Yami Gautam and Atul Kulkarni do a brilliant job and hopefully do more of this type of genre, the characters really suit them here.
Simple storyline executed beautifully with the Mumbai rains as a backdrop. Recommended.

A sincere advice. Ignore the over acting of few but the leads yami gautam (most underrated till date) and Dimple Kapadia are just amazing. Watch it for the sensitive issue it portrays so beautifully. A Thursday a really good story & thriller.
This film revolves around how Naina Jaiswal-Yami Gautam, an enterprising teacher running her playschool called 'Little Dots' for young children, resorts to desperate measures to make her voice heard and get justice.

It is a great movie which has Ample twists and turns to keep you hooked till the end.
The climax is the major highlight, though little predictable but effective
Yami Gautam's range as an actress is indefinite and she is the perfect example that to be successful you don't need PR machinery or a controversy.
Must watch for its earnest attempt.
