Madaari: Kya madaari desh jaga paega?
Madaari an upcoming Indian social-thriller film presented by Bharat Shah and co-produced by Kshitiz Bhardwaj stars Irrfan Khan, Vishesh Bansal, Jimmy Shergill, Tushar Dalvi and Nitesh Pandey. The film is directed by Nishikant Kamat, who after burning his fingers directing the big budget disaster, Rocky Handsome, returns to making meaningful films, that had made him a force to reckon with in Bollywood.
In a nation of 125 Crore people, power holding hands are few. These hands are the “Madaris” holding the damroo and forcing the common man to dance according to them. Nobody can act against their will. These madaris are the top politicians. In this nation of crores of people lives a man named Nirmal(Irfan Khan) who loves his family and is there to fulfill their needs. Life goes on well but it is a man-made disaster that roots up his family. Dejected he wishes to take vengeance and seeks answers asking for accountability, which eventually leads him to a deadly path. Now he’s the madaari and how he makes the system dance to his tunes forms the crux. His search for justice in a thriller manner is the gist of the movie. The journey brings out the extraordinaire out of an ordinary man.
After delivering power-packed performances in Piku and Talvar, Irrfan Khan is back on the silver screen with Madaari. This film is based on a real life incident that resulted in people getting injured and it also led to losses of lives. This incident took place at the under-construction overhead Metro Bridge on Andheri-Kurla Road in suburban Marol. Playing a vigilante in the movie, Irrfan Khan takes it upon himself to right the wrong that has been done to him and he is not afraid to take the road less travelled.
Dama Dama Dam (Singer – Vishal Dadlani)
Being a social thriller, a satirical track was necessary and this soundtrack starts with just that. Though he may have sung many satirical songs before, he sounds really good singing this one, and the sarcasm and mocking tone in his voice really stands out, as it should. His husky voice is perfect, and brings out the satire in Irshad’s words very well.
Masoom Sa (Singer-Sukhwinder Singh)
Sukhwinder starts off in a voice quite different from what we imagine him singing in usually. The song is an emotional song. It starts off softly, but quickly gets to its peak, and drops down from the peak at the hookline, which is also the best line in the whole song. Madaari was not exactly supposed to have songs, and if it did, they were supposed to be situational and instrumental in carrying the story forward.
‘Madaari is a very strong film for the younger generation. If they understand this film correctly, it would be great fun. It is serious cinema and our youth want to see that too; they don’t just want entertainment.’ says Kamat. One can have a watch to see the political drama set up adeptly and for Irfan’s brilliant performances. Hoping madaari to lure the audience and set deliver the intended message.
