Madaari (2016)

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

What an amazing movie. I love it. Acting A+, story A+. Hats off to Irrfan Khan, He played the character so well, really touching..makes you feel for him. I didn't want it to end.

Well Acting Irrfan..Maanna Padega Bhai..Irrfan character in every movie watchable whether it is Comedy , Emotional , Gangster etc.., Indian Public is Masoom when they will rise and reply to these corrupt politicians..No one going to survive in our system..They killed our childrens , fathers , mothers etc..,

Stronger performances.Better editing.It needed someone who could look at the film as it was being made and say, 'No, this is not working. Let's relook at how we are handling this.'It needed to be a film that was not overwhelmed by the fact that it was an Irrfan Khan starrer.Because a film like Madaari is a film that needs to be made.I will leave it incomplete."He carries out neither of the two threats. He never directs his coiled-up rage at the boy and he also takes his tale to its logical end. Unfortunately, by the time Madaari gets there, the hero's life and death gambit turns into a disappointingly tame, mechanical rigmarole.But all said and done, Madaari might be worth the price of a multiplex ticket solely for Irrfan's flawless one-man show.Watch.

Initially the case is thought of mistaken identity wherein the kidnapper might have tried to kidnap the friend of Rohan, Cheeku who was also drugged while kidnapping.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 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.
