Not sure why people are rating this movie so high. There is nothing new in the movie and the film falls flat in its second half as well as the climax. Indian cinema have produced much better films in the past where the common man stands against the corrupt government, be it A Wednesday, Nayak or Hindustani among others. Mumbai Meri Jaan was much better film directed by Nishikant Kamat's that depicts the life of a common man and how it gets affected by external scenarios. Also, lately the films directed by him like Force, Rocky Handsome they aren't something which surprise you or you feel great about them. He was able to do justice with the remake of Drishyam though..Coming back to this film, Irrfan tries to do justice with his role but the story doesn't holds your attention for much long. Better Avoided !!!

"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

Its the movie which pictured the current status of the system in today's age and how a alone man fight to change this system for his revenge, the movie describe much more about the political status, the acting of Irfaan Khan impressed you a lot who did a great job with his character but the remaining characters failed to match up with him that's why on some points movie goes boring and its a awful experience for its viewers but if you taking interest in story then you will find it more entertaining and enjoyable, its story is the main reason which holds the audience to their seats and after completing movie you say this words that "movie is good and watchable", if you going to see this movie than go for it, it will not disappoint you, from my side its 7/10

It is another great movie by Irrfan khan. It is social thriller film directed by Nishikant Kamat. Another meaningful movie of this year,it is head on impact on our corrupt system of country .its a real story which tells us that what is going on in our country. A 10 year old child, Rohan, is kidnapped from his hostel. Rohan is the only son of the Home Minister. The army and the CBI storm into action. CBI officer Nachiket Verma (Jimmy Shergill) heads the case and gets restrain order from all the other security agencies to make sure that the kidnappers don't panic and kill Rohan. I personally liked the most about this movie is that it has pointed out the fact that what might happen in real-life and what we pay to see in reel-life if any commoner takes such a bold step .Initially the case is thought of mistaken identity wherein the kidnapper might have tried to kidnap the friend of Rohan, Cheeku who was also drugged while kidnapping. I liked concept ,direction music of the film……every one must watch the movie.
