“In the film Madaari Irrfan Khan plays a man who is fighting for his family. He also wanted to interview Prime Minister Narendra Modi, however, the actor did not receive any appointment yet. The 49-year-old actor had interviewed politicians like the Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal and RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav for the promotion of this film. Watch: Exclusive Interview With Irrfan Khan On Madaari, His Bollywood Journey & More I think it’s one of those film that’s going to stay with us for a very very long time and going to get all of us thinking, and it’s going to stir you up emotionally,” Deepika said in a statement, as reported by PTI. The execution has very little,” she said on the storyline of the film.Īctress Deepika Padukone who had shared a screen with the actor in Piku, lauded the film. His flawless performance in this film will make you miss him even more.“The idea has power. Khan, in this movie, reinforces his legacy and goes on to prove no one else can replace him in the industry. If you haven’t watched, you’ve missed an important film that defines the career of late Khan. This is the kind of film you can revisit every few years. Most film lovers who like my selection of films have probably already watched Madaari. The supporting cast also comes with its share of convincing performances but Khan is the film’s heart and soul. The complexities in Nirmal’s life and how well Khan peels each layer of his character’s existence drive the film. He is still a harmless, caring father desperately seeking closure.
In the scenes with Rohan, his victim Nirmal never bears the maliciousness of a kidnapper. Khan expresses every word with the conviction of an everyday man the system has driven to desperation. Even the film’s dialogues with heavy punchlines feel tailored for Khan’s voice. Nishikant Kamat’s direction seems to bring out the best in Irrfan Khan, who embodies the soul of his character. There are a few lapses in the screenplay and the 2h 13mins-long film tends to lose pace at times, but the better parts make up for everything. Maybe because it does not appeal to the larger masses without high-flying action sequences and peppy item numbers.Īlso, the film’s not perfect. Still, one can’t feel sorry for how such a gripping thriller remains obscure.
Understandable why a film like Madaari would have been neglected by Bollywood audiences and the critics alike at the time. The year 2016 saw the release of ‘blockbusters’ like “Sultan” and “Dangal”. But what happens, in the end, is for you to find out. Kumar’s fight becomes every common person’s and the fact that he is a kidnapper (sic criminal) is lost as we empathize with him and want to see him get justice. The writers have taken a cliché and weaved the narration with suspense, mystery, and a lot of emotion. This is the story of Madaari written by Shailja Kejriwal and Ritesh Shah (screenplay/dialogue). Our protagonist Nirmal is the kidnapper here and as the story unfolds, the audience realizes what made him turn from a loving family man to a ruthless kidnapper.
The kidnapper has vanished without a trace with Rohan and the only ransom he demands is that the government finds the whereabouts of his son, who was lost in an act of government negligence. Following the high-profile kidnapping, there’s a storm of investigations all over the city, led by CBI officer Nachiket Verma (Jimmy Sheirgill). Rohan (Vishesh Bansal), the only son of Home Minister Prashant Goswami (Tushar Dalvi), gets kidnapped from his hostel one day. He is determined, yet scared calculative yet vulnerable. Kumar is a common man who is wronged by the system and instead of accepting it as his fate he plans to fight against it. He is not this larger-than-life fighter who literally punches his way through the walls of social injustice or the trigger-friendly vigilante who blows up ‘villains’. But its protagonist Nirmal Kumar (Khan) is the anti-hero we all want to be. Madaari is a movie cliché: a story about a common man fighting the system as we’ve seen in hundreds of films. I had to find the movie online, which I luckily did on Cinekorn Movie’s YouTube channel. I came across the trailer for the 2016 Bollywood thriller “Madaari” and the first few scenes with the late Irrfan Khan delivering massive punchlines blew me over. After trying a couple of Nepali movies and barely making it through more than 45-minute each, I gave up and searched for some Bollywood flicks, expecting to find something that’d delight me.
YouTube time this week, and I wanted to check out films I had missed watching in recent years that were officially available on the app.
