This is not a movie review, just penning my thoughts about the movie and the movie watching experience. Ever since i heard and read about the movie A Wednesday i desperately wanted to watch the movie. The weird thing about my hindi is i know how to write and read, but cannot understand the language. Though i got the first mark in hindi in school till 8th std(plz never mind it was CBSE third language) , still i get confusion between "tha and thee". The concept of gender for things never got into mind. Please dont ask whether iam through with English grammar. That's a separate story.



Okay now on to the movie... First thing to say is that i didnt watch A Wednesday and do not know about the story except for the one-liner, so i went complete with an open mind. To say precisely about the movie would be - Perfect in all sense. No songs to deviate, no unnecessary punch dialogues, sentiments and the super hero fights. Just a movie from an ordinary man's perspective. It doesnt mean that i hate all those masala movies, iam a hardcore fan of thillu mullu and micheal madana kamarajan. I can watch these movies even today without changing the channels.

My aathukarar said that the film had fantastic screenplay, and sorry to say this i donot know what a screenplay is, though he explained me later. What i felt was it took me along with it as the story travelled. Every actor in that movie were tailor-made and their body language and the mannerisms added gloss to their performance. Whether it was those two cops at their best or the TV anchor or the computer website hijacker, each had their own moment of glory.

This movie too had a hint of humour , love and sentiments but in a perfect dosage. When it was advertised that Shruti haasan was the music composer , i expected at least couple of songs. And i was completely surprised to see a song less movie. Not to include those back ground scores and the bits of songs. What i meant was a flash back song or a romance one.

But not everyone can enjoy the dialogues since half of it were in English especially the war of authority scenes between Mohanlal and Lakshmi (sorry please reduce the make-up in the next movie atleast , it was horrible watching all those close-up shots) . Humour was laced amidst the gripping scenes in the form of one-line dialogues . IIT drop out guys casualness is worth mentioning with the modern lingos.

On the whole it was a beautiful movie without any compromise and a crisp story line. Though the ending was not a convincing one.

Letme post the experience in the next post
