Wednesday
In my opinion it is very dangerous movie in our present political scenario. The basic idea conveyed by the director can said like this - Terrorist kills innocent people.....police can't do anything against them, even if they arrest terrorists (indirectly director is indicating towards a "strong" law required to tackle terrorists)....the terrorists are no doubt "Muslims"......since police and judiciory can't handle terrorists, it is time for "Aam Janta"[common man(not woman)] to take the law in their hand...... lets kill all the terrorists.......then they will learn a lesson....
I have some questions to ask.... how can we know that who are the terrorists...???? Do police only catch real culprits??.... Many times they also catch innocents and torture them(due to different reasons)... remember those arrested from Hyderabad....govt at last accepted that they were not terrorists but police picked them intentionally...those people were given compensation for the torture .....But according to the director of this film.... these innocent people should be killed...Terrorism is a complex issue, u can't simply it...... by looking at the news paper headings or watching TV news reports, you can't find out real terrorists....
Subject wise the film is not better than any of our Ranji Panikar/Suresh gopi movies or Shankar movies like "Anyan". The common man's revenge against the incapable system....!!
Simplifying issue may give popularity but it genuinely lacks depth. I agree that Wednesday is well made movie…the rhythm of editing…..suspense factor…it is a good entertainer. But we should think what is inside the beautiful envelope…. a dangerous ideology.

The film has a very different approach towards the issue of terrorism. it carries very positive messege....
What terrorists (belongs to any religion or political group) would like to do by carrying out a terrorist attack....??? do they simply wants to kill some people and satisfy in it...Not at all....terrorist attacks are always a triggering point.....to polarise a society.... it will destabilise the society…creates an atmosphere where human rights have no value….it will promote arm race…. It will give more power to STATE, religious and political groups to squeeze individual freedom…
Do u even thought....why terrorism is a phenomenon of this period.....?? Now terrorism is identified as an effective tool to polarise the society… Terrorism creates an invincible enemy… a fear psychosis…. An atmosphere of mistrust is a good field for seeding extremist politics.
There are Muslim extremists group as well as Hindu extremist groups. Both of them need each other to survive.
So what should we (common citizen) do in this difficult period? Should we hate each other and participate in extremist politics..? or take law in our hand and kill those we believe as terrorists..? is it solve our problem..?Do we have to abandon our humanity..? do we have to stop love each other or stop living together..? This film tries to give answer to many such questions, without being overstated…..
It is foolish to think that there is no terrorism in our society… we should be cautious about it…. The best way is to study the political climate of our society and to isolate all kind of extremism among the society. Keep religion and every kind of fundamentalism away from our political life… it is the best way and only way to stop terrorism.Please do not forget to live and love ….. in the times of darkness… I think it is the message of this movie.
