Review: Based on true events, director Nishikant Kamat depicts the story in a fashion that has captured the attention of the audience and has got the critics thinking. Even though Madaari is not the first Hindi movie to advocate a brand of vigilantism, it does a great job at being one of the best that has been made so far.
Irrfan Khan is famous for his thought-inflicting acting in similar movies. Especially this time, he picked a script that
perhaps exceeds all his previous selections, throwing light on the corruption and sequential evil of India. He has truly outdone himself in this film with his mesmerizing performance stealing the show completely.
The overall cast has provided a great performance, especially Irrfan Khan as Nirmal Kumar and Jimmy Shergil as Nachiket Verma, whose intensity sparked the movie alight.
The background scores for the film provided by composer Vishal Bhardwaj were positively intriguing and accompanied perfectly with the sequences of the film.
More than the movie's social significance, Irrfan Khan's remarkable performance makes the highlight of the movie. The movie should count as one of the best in this year's list, and surely has one of the best performances by an actor in this year so far.
