MOVIE REVIEW: One day, one city, infinite chaos. A Thursday is a thriller that deserves to be seen.
The writers have done a commendable job and the unpredictable story keeps you hooked till the end. The engaging screenplay and the background score make it is a worth-watching thriller. Vijay Maurya’s dialogues are relatable and hard-hitting.
Yami Gautam Dhar gets a meaty role and does her best. After delivering the good performances in Uri and Bala, she has surprised the viewers again. Her terrific expressions, her emotions, her dialogues delivery, all were top notch. Dimple Kapadia effortlessly played the Prime Minister role. Atul Kulkarni and Neha Dhupia have given an excellent performance.
Kalyanee Mulay, Sukesh Anand, and Boloram Das were good in their supporting roles. Karanvir Sharma and Maya Sarao were average. Behzad’s direction is impressive, he successfully manages to hold the viewers from the first scene to the climax. The last 15 mins of the film are clap-worthy.
