'Madaari': Powerful and thought provoking

Movie review

"Madaari" is the moving tale of a distraught common man, a single father Nirmal Kumar (Irrfan) who has lost his son under tragic circumstances, owing to negligence and corruption in the system. How he resorts to a desperate measure to make his voice heard, in a bid to seek justice, forms the crux of the film. Exposing the malaise of deep-seated corruption, government apathy and the power of social media in reaching out to people, the film is both, disturbing and hard-hitting. It is a reality check for the electorate and sends out a strong message that the "ideal voter" in India will perhaps no longer tolerate government indifference and demands accountability.
