Madaari sticks to a template
similar to Neeraj Pandey’s A
Wednesday, but doesn’t drum up
the same urgency. The cops, led
by a solemn-faced Jimmy Shergill,
find themselves engaged in a wild
goose chase for Nirmal, but there’s
very little tension to this battle of
wits. Also, Kamat’s depiction of a
landscape altered by social media
engagement and public opinion is
real but sloppily handled. I’m going
with two-and-a-half out of five for
Madaari. Arguably one of the
finest actors of our times, Irrfan
Khan deserves films worthy of his
talent. This one comes up short.
