A wednesday

Expect the unexpected in A Wednesday. From the writing point of view to the execution of the written material, writer-director Neeraj Pandey never takes the been-there-seen-that route even once.

A Wednesday offered you twist after twist, throwed down challenge after challenge in those 1.30 hours. No sub-plots, no songs, no unwanted masala, no unnecessary tracks, A Wednesday has a story to tell and it tells most effectively.

The editor (Shree Narayan Singh) deserves lavish praises for giving shape to this thriller. During the finale specifically Anupam is driving towards the location, while Naseer is packing his stuff the parallel scenes are juxtaposed brilliantly. The background score (Sanjay Chowdhury) is stirring.

Naseeruddin Shah has delivered several remarkable performances over the decades and the one in A Wednesday easily makes its way into his Top 5 works when you recall his body of work.

Anupam Kher is equally dynamic. If there's one actor who could stand up to a giant of an actor, it's Anupam Kher. An outstanding performance indeed!

Every performance in A Wednesday is charged. Jimmy Sheirgill is first-rate as a volatile cop. Aamir Bashir is superb. Again, this actor has never got his due in feature films. It's our loss, not his! Deepal Shaw plays her part confidently.

Chetan Pandit, as the Chief Minister, is effective. Ditto for the actor who plays the main terrorist Kali Prasad Mukherjee. On the whole, A Wednesday is cinema at its best.

It may not be a Kinng-sized entertainer to lure the audiences in hordes and set the box-office afire, but A Wednesday does pack in king-sized punch. Do yourself a favour Watch A Wednesday if you have missed it.

Wanted overpowers DBH

Salman Khan and Ayesha Takia starrer film Wanted was promoted across all mediums and had so much of hype surrounding its release that an outstanding opening was predictable.



Salman Khan who looked fresh and danced amazingly like never before, shot action sequences and fast paced narrative did not disappoint the audiences like most big banner films in the recent past did.

Much against popular trade belief that Wanted is only a single-screen film, the film did decent business at most multiplexes as well with the audiences in. While most films show a slump in the business Monday onwards, it was exactly the opposite in case of Wanted.

Suno Na..Ek Nanhi Awaaz

Suno Na..Ek Nanhi Awaaz is boring to the point of driving you nuts. Although the pretext picked is fine, its implementation leaves you wondering what director Amy Thanawala is upto. The film casts Tara Sharma, Dharmendra Gohil, Rinku Patel, Avinash Tiwari.

An unwed mother facing all odds to bring her baby into the world : that, in a nutshell, is the story of ‘Suno Na, Ek Nanhi Awaaz’. Tara Sharma’s pleasant persona is drowned by her one-track delivery And the baby-who-talks-from-the-womb, clearly inspired by the ‘Look Who’s Talking’ movies, is a major irritant.

To cut long story short, girl decides to live, moves to Mumbai to stay at her friend's place and surprisingly, every boy falls in love with her. The friend in whose house she lives, who is single, has no one falling in love with her!

In the end, she delivers a child. A professor falls in love with her and her parents too reach in time for her delivery. In between all this, you are subjected to the director's perplexed state of mind.

SUNO NA, just forget about this!

EMI

EMI is a film based on a real life incident. The film has been directed by debutant director Saurabh Kabra. He has just depicted the pros and cons of availing loans. There are four stories in the film which run parallel and overall there is Sattarbhai (Sanjay Dutt) who runs an agency which recovers loans from defaulters.

Sattar, owner of Good Luck Recovery Agency, is the saviour and the solution for all those caught in the debt trap. From Bhaigiri to business to politics to social work -- that's how Sattar wants to progress in life. He has already graduated from Bhaigiri to business and is now eager to jump into politics.

Most sought after by banks, telecom companies and various multinationals, today his Good Luck Recovery Agency is a leading recovery agency. Sattar follows a simple rule when it comes to his business -- Loan liya hai to chukana padega.

But will Sattar succeed in using this simple principle when dealing with disparate characters and cases like Anil-Shilpa (Aashish Chowdhary-Neha Uberoi), Chandrakant (Kulbhushan Kharbanda), Ryan-Prerna (Arjun Rampal-Malaika Arora Khan) and Urmila Matondkar.

On the acting front, Sanjay Dutt remains as solacing factor turning spotlights on him and it's a great comeback after wretched results of Kidnap. Arjun Rampal is brilliant in his performance. His encounters with Sanjay Dutt are fiestas of laughter. Malaika Arora appears just for glamour quotients and she is gorgeous. Urmila Matondakar is fine, she is a mature actress. Aashish Chowdary and Neha Uberoi, they're ridiculous.

On the whole, EMI is a film that'll have most of audiences reflecting themselves on those individualistic characters in frame. Brimming up with an extraordinary theme of 'loan mania' haunting down cosmopolitan cities-to-remote villages, Saurabh Kadra draws special attention. Nevertheless, it's a terrific letdown as he doesn't tread with same efforts on scripting. Anyways EMI is a middling piece of work.
