a short film, about 1hr 45mins, with no songs and full of entertainment. The film is basically revolved around a common man (naseruddin), he is angry at the way the police deal with terrorists and wants to teach them how he thinks they should be dealt with. So he plants a bomb in the police station and rings up the chief of police saying he has planted he bomb and some other alleged bombs around the area. The CP thinks it is a prank untill they find the bomb he planted and they take him seriously. They ask he wants, he wnats 4 jailed prisoners to be released on his orders, once they are released he will tell them the whereabouts of the other bombs. In the end they release them, whilst also trying to track him him down, in the end he wants them to kill the 4 prisoners for their bad actions. Naser blows 3 of them up with a bomb and jimmy kills the 4th one. This case was not recorded becos it was a common man doing a good deed and so that no other person would repeat this again. They find naser and let him off scotch free??? A recommeneded film, short with some good morals

One doesn't know how long it took first-time writer-director Neeraj Pandey to get backers for his brave film, but one can be thankful that star-obsessed Bollywood is also making space for films like this.
Anupam Kher, dressed in everyday clothes, with no props or accoutrements to hold on to, gives such an utterly natural performance that you can believe this is what a police commissioner must be like.

A Wednesday is one of those rare variety films about which one can't discuss much despite a strong desire for it could hamper your viewing experience as an unapprised audience.
A Wednesday isn't in those conventional potboiler categories where a hero goes fighting single-handedly against the villains or munificent cinematic liberties are attempted to accomplish an assignment.
