Because of the cutting of so many angles and many super side characters (who only blabbered on and on about opposition, the emdia and stupid bullshit that was tiring) being done away with. Madaari picks up pace in the second half. It feels as though Irrfan Khan is the only one who was given any material that was performace worthy and three dimensional.
#Madari hindi movie review tv
Nitesh Pandey as well is given awkward lines and forgetful jokes and awful parodies in his role as a TV Reporter.
The mother (I regret I didn’t catch the actress’ name and it’s not available anywhere on the net) has only small scenes where she fights with her husband for the return of her son. Tushar Dalvi is the archetypical politician. Jimmy Shergill is wasted away with such a one dimensional character. Instead of focusing on the characters, their motivations, and their travails, I honestly don’t know what it focused on. It plays out more like a drama movie, but one that tries to be a thriller. It doesn’t feel tense, or fast or thrilling. Madaari is a socio-political thriller, as said in its description but rarely feels like one. With Nirmal Kumar’s, with the CBI Team, the Home Minister himself, his wife and so on and so forth. What with so many perspectives to take care of. Madaari tries to tell a story from so many angles at one, it becomes too dragged, too slow and too convoluting. Madaari’s hamartia, its fatal flaw is its script. Madaari is a movie that promises a lot but fails to deliver. It feels incredulous to even believe that a movie with these two in the leads will be anything but a massive and roaring commercial and critical success and Madaari being one of the top movies of this year, alongside Nil Battey Sanata, Neerja, Civil War, Finding Dory and the rest. With the above mentioned brief synopsis, the actors in the film, especially Irrfan Khan and Jimmy Shergill as Nachiket Verma (the CBI investigator for the kidnapping), the movie seems to have it all. He is the string master who holds the nerves of all these people. He kidnaps Rohan (Vishesh Bansal), the son of the Home Minister of India, Prashant Goswami (Tushar Dalvi) and makes the world, the minister, his wife and a CBI Team act on his whim. In this movie, Irrfan Khan as Nirmal Kumar is the Madaari.
Somebody who controls the act and what will happen next. Madaari is a Hindi word which means juggler, magician, puppet master or in the crudest of senses, a street performer.
