![]() He has managed to make tears fall from my eyes at many points in this film. This is a powerful psychological drama and very relevant in today's world. The effect new digital technology is making in spreading information quickly around the world is shown in this film. Smartphones are by the billion in India, and then we have the newer iPads. So technology wise, a lot has changed in India. The age-old problem of government corruption in India is re-emphasized. Before I forget, I would like to mention the superb music in the film by the veteran music director Pritam. He has directed music in such hits like Dhoom(2004), Gangster(2006), Jab We Met(2007), Race(2008) and Bajrangi Bhaijaan(2015). This blockbuster film was remade in Hindi as Gardish(1993) directed by Priyadarshan. Kireedam has a sequel film Chenkol(1993) which was never dubbed or remade in Hindi. ![]() "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. ![]()
