Madaari
Critic reviews and ratings
-
Kudos to Irrfan and Nishikant Kamat for daring to make this poignant, provocative and politically incorrect piece of cinema, that makes its point unabashedly.
-
As an intelligent thriller, it works. As a poke to social conscience, can movies do more than poke?
-
...this film on the broad and capable shoulders of Irrfan Khan manages to deliver the right punch.
-
Irrfan is an absolute master of his craft, and 'Madaari' proves it.
-
Watch it once for Irrfan, who's the beating heart of this film.
-
...comes across as a thriller which holds your attention only in parts. It lacks consistency and punch...
-
...is ‘A Wednesday’ retooled for our corrupt times
-
The movie is average because there is nothing subtle and instead of coming away with any hope for change, you come away as if you have been attacked by a sledgehammer for almost three hours.
-
... makes the right noises about the state of the nation and its people owing to the machinations of avaricious and insensitive politicians and crony contractors. However, the methods that the film uses in order to do so are rather fanciful, if not outright harebrained.
-
This Khan makes Madaari a film worth watching. And his presence in contemporary cinema, makes this world a better place to live in.
-
...is saved to large extent by its eponymous lead Irrfan Khan, who manages a striking performance, despite the predictable storyline.
-
...is a testament to the talent of Irrfan – the Khan has been dropped. This predictable, inconsistent and implausible story would have collapsed completely with a lesser actor.
-
Arguably one of the finest actors of our times, Irrfan Khan deserves films worthy of his talent. This one comes up short.
-
It was a film that needed defter handling. Stronger performances. Better editing.
-
It's disappointing to see a relevant backdrop to the story fails to make the impact and further the hackneyed and hurried climax adds to the wounds.
-
...with all the ingredients for an intriguing thriller, Madaari is the perfect example of how to spoil the perfect recipe, director Nishikant Kamat its master chef.
-
...Madaari's preaching for a better world doesn't always inspire, it more often bogs you down.
-
...refuses to fly despite the ever reliable Irrfan Khan as its pivot and spine.
-
...s a very predictable film, but is held together by some very touching moments brought about by Irrfan’s ability to establish a rapport with his co-actors...
-
Irrfan’s performance is what holds the pieces together...
-
The idea has power. The execution has very little.
