Irrfan Khan... When you see his name in movies, you are to be entertained. This movie is all about his revenge to his missing dead son on the Home minister's son. His role takes up almost entire movie. Not similar to the flick 'A Wednesday' but is of same flavor. A powerless common Indian man fighting the law against the government. 2.2 Hrs of movie seemed longer because of almost-solo-performance of Irrfan Khan. Not to forget Vishesh Bansal the child actor did great. Overall 8 for lengthier movie and not having parallel stories but a fantastic story with no usual Bollywood stupidity. Surely a great watch!

"Madaari" presents the anger of a common man against the system. Every year thousands of civilians fall prey to the negligence of the system and government remains reluctant to provide any support in such circumstances. The plot revolves around one of such common persons whose son is killed in the collapse of a fly-over road of a city. He wants to talk some of the officials who are guilty for the collapse of the structure. For the purpose, he helds captive an eight year old son of the home minister and starts to play a game to provoke the corrupt system.In terms of story, the film is close to the thriller "A Wednesday" (2008). Where the motive of "A Wednesday" remains unclear till the very end of the movie, "Madaari" becomes a bit obvious by the interval. The element of surprise in the former film is missing in this one. Besides, the film also becomes overlong; and the climax lacks the effect. Despite the flaws, the film remains commendable for a terrific performance from Irfan Khan. The tactics played by him as a kidnapper are interesting and flashbacks shown enliven the father son relationship. The flashbacks and the relationship between irfan Khan and 8 year old boy as an abductee are cleverly portrayed which will hold your attention to an extent. Though the subject has been sensitively carried through out, just in the end the film doesn't suffice the prominent issues it raises.Rating: 2 stars out of 4

One of the good theme chosen by people of the Bollywood. Excellent actor in leading role again doing the best performance of his career. Little boy also plays a good character in the movie. Actor is doing another wonderful job after special 26. This movie is another awesome movie of the year. This is the real power of cinema. Again this will be proved the capability of Indian cinema who carry these type of stories based on real life facts, stories and plots which looks real and a viewer is directly able to connect with this theme. Cinema once again carries such a better plot to present in front of us.director of the have very good control on the story. Actors give his best in this movie and giving justice to the story.

I must say Nishikant Kamat is a great director. I thought his movie Force was good. I absolutely adored Drishyam, Rocky Handsome was just above average. And here is Madaari one of the most awaited Bollywood movie of 2016. So how is Madaari was it entertaining: Yes. Was it perfect: NO. I still have a few flaws with the film which I will list at the end of this review.So the movie basically revolves around a man who's son dies in a man-made disaster then he later decides to kidnap the minister's son to fill his life with the love of a boy and that's your movie. So let me tell you my final verdict on Madaari. I liked the direction of the film, I liked the acting of the film, I liked the concept of the film, I liked the music of the film but I just didn't like the second half of the film which takes off a few points of it off because I thoroughly enjoyed it. And that is why I give Madaari a 7.5/10. 73% or B+
