Review of A Wednesday

A Wednesday (2008)
9/10
A prescient film released a few weeks before the 2008 terrorist attacks on Mumbai!
3 December 2009
A Wednesday. An average day in Mumbai. That is, until a man calls up the police claiming he has set bombs in 5 places around the city - set to explode simultaneously - if the police do not release four terrorists they have in custody. But what exactly is the mystery man really after?

No standard Bollywood film, this. There are no song-and-dance numbers, or any of the other conventions you might expect from a Hindi film - instead, it's a race against the clock between a Mumbai police detective, and the mystery man.

A Wednesday is a thriller with a great twist ending that proved eerily prescient, with a timely message, when several simultaneous terrorist bomb attacks actually occurred only a few weeks later around the city of Mumbai.
