Click to play videoMumbai: It's a film that's struck a chord amongst the critics as well as the masses, A Wednesday' directed by debutante Neeraj Pandey and made at a modest budget of approximately 3 to 4 crore continues to run successfully at multiplexes across the country in it's third week.
It’s a tale of a cop hot on the heels of an alleged terrorist who threatens to set off a series of blasts across Mumbai with a twist in the climax is something that the Indian urban audience is lapping up.
Under normal circumstances this small budget film starring Naseeruddin Shan and Anupam Kher would not have drawn the kind of interest and appreciation that it has managed to.
But in today's time - when almost every Indian metro has become a terror target, the film manages to effectively express the common man's frustration and inability to fight with the unknown enemy. And that is something the producers believe everyone identifies with.
Though some critics have raised eye-brows on what could be a stereotyping of minorities in the film's narrative for the average film goer 'A Wednesday' is much like a cathartic experience in today's terror ridden times.
