For the past several days, the film 'A Thursday' starring Yami Gautam, Neha Dhupia, Atul Kulkarni and Dimple Kapadia in the lead roles was in the news when its trailer was released. It is a suspense thriller movie in which hostage drama is shown. In a way, it can be considered as a sequel to Neeraj Pandey's superhit film 'A Wednesday'.

Story

Teacher Naina (Yami Gautam) has come back to playschool from a three-week vacation. She runs a playschool at the house of her fiancée Rohit Mirchandani (Karanveer Sharma). Like every day, she sends all the parents back home with a trust, plays with the children, teaches them. But soon his facial expressions change and it is clear that this 'Thursday' is not going to be any ordinary Thursday. Alone with the kids at home, pistol in hand, she calls Police Inspector Javed Khan (Atul Kulkarni) and issues a warning that she has taken 16 children, a helper and a driver hostage. Every hour a child will lose his life if his demands are not met. 'A Thursday' is made on this one day between Mumbai Police, Prime Minister of India (Dimple Kapadia) and Naina.

Acting

Yami Gautam has done a great job in the role of Abhinaya Naina. The ever-changing expressions on his face compensate for the short dialogue in the film. It is interesting to see when she brings a passion and savagery in her eyes while talking innocently with the kids. The director has given Yami a chance to play with her expressions here and the actress has done full justice to the character. Atul Kulkarni is strong in the role of police. Everyone is aware of his acting ability. And in this film too, he has put his whole life into his character. Neha Dhupia, the character of Pregnant ACP Catherine Alvarez, is commendable. Dimple Kapadia, Karanvir Sharma, Kalyani Mulay and Maya Sarao have done a good job in their respective roles.

Review

In the last few days, strong characters of women are being written in Bollywood. Director Behzad Khambata has also written a strong character of Yami Gautam for the film. Yami is seen in such a strong role for the first time in her career. Some scenes of the film have become very good. The story of the film is good but the screenplay seems weak at some places. It doesn't compare to Neeraj Pandey's 'A Wednesday' but still keeps it hooked. The background music of the film and the close-up shots of slow motion look childish. When the story of the film progresses, there is a lack of technical detail in it. You already get the feel of the story of the film but still this film has the ability to impress you.
