Giving Irrfan full support is the underrated yet remarkable Jimmy Shergill, who's pitch-perfect as the CBI-Officer who's tracking him down. Note the sequence right after his son dies, its heart-breaking. Performance-Wise: Irrfan delivers a sincere, central performance as the enraged common man. Nishikant Kamat's Direction is surprisingly restrained this time & that works on his advantage. Ritesh Shah's Screenplay has some great moments, but it isn't foolproof. The first-hour nicely builds-up, but the second-hour lacks the power, one expects from it. Though I liked the fast-pace & the sub-plot involving the father & son, the narrative, somehow, loses its steam by the time it reaches its culmination, which ideally, should've been the best part. Neeraj Pandey's masterful A Wednesday depicted a common man's anger with thumping rage, but 'Madaari' is only compelling in parts. 'Madaari' is about a common man's fight with the corrupt politicians, that run the government. 'Madaari' Synopsis: A man named Nirmal loses his Son in a man-made disaster, after which, he starts the journey of seeking answers asking for accountability which urges him to take revenge. Though compelling in parts, the film never comes up powerful enough. He's in full tormented form as an angry common man, but the film, comes up short. Irrfan Khan is one of the most respected & versatile actors in the Filmdom today & with 'Madaari', he reinstates that fact once again.
