A Wednesday! is a 2008 thriller written and directed by Neeraj Pandey. It stars Anupam Kher and Naseeruddin Shah and depicts an about-to-retire police commissioner who narrates a sequence of events that unfolded on a particular Wednesday and which exist only in his mind and in those of several individuals who were involved in it.
Commissioner Rathod gets a telephone call from a man who claims him that he has placed several bombs all over Mumbai. Unless he arranges the release of four terrorists with Al Qaeda links, the bombs will explode – and one of them has been placed right opposite the Commissioner’s office. It will be now up to Rathod to decide whether or not to give in to the bomber’s demands. It’s going to be a very, very long day….
A tense thriller in which nothing is what it seems, A Wednesday was a critical and commercial hit on its release. A prequel movie has already been planned. Check out the trailer below and don’t miss the film itself this Sunday at the Swan cinema in Rathmines.
