Saw 'Wednesday' the other day. What a movie! Scores eons over the others of commercial make. Take 'Fashion' for instance. I usually like Madhur Bhandarkar movies. But this one was too laboured and too endless. One felt fatigued and helpless. Maybe a shorter version, a more realistic ending, and a better actress. Ha! I wanted to physically extricate Priyanka Chopra from the screen, especially during the first half of the film. She should get some special award for her exquisite self-consciousness during her most tragic moments. She was probably the singlemost disappointment of the film.

Now about 'Wednesday'. The movie OF the common man. Man, if I had half a chance I would do exactly what Naseeruddin Shah did. It was Naseer all the way. What a talented couple he and Ratna make. Exquisitely powerful acting. Priyanka Chopra should cross paths with them some day. Their vibes alone could help.
