One of the great movies that bollywood indusrty has ever produced. Everything is praiseworthy. I don't know why any critic left it untouched. This is the film which influenced hollywood film "the common man". I am proud of this film. Very very good to watch if you want to know common man's sufferings and the bond of muted love. If someone try to cause harm to it, common man will reply you in a differnt way that you never expected.
Such A Powerful & Revolutionary Film With A Strong Message.. Excellent Screenplay, Great Direction By Neeraj & Well Acted
What do you get when you put Anupam Kher, Naseeruddin Shah and a debutant director, Neeraj Pandey, in a thrilling adventure consisting of Mumbai? For me, perfection. And A Wednesday! is an absolute sureshot example of such filmmaking. We have a consistent style of writing and an absoultely riveting narrative where any moment could signify anything, even a man standing in a local. It has been made in a Ram Gopal Varma style, which, unfortunately, we miss in a Ram Gopal Varma film these days. Naseer is so strong that he makes the extra half of the film, perfecting it in the best possible manner.
