Though the reviews were not encouraging, I watched 'Madaari' placing complete faith in the lead actor Irrfan. I was rewarded. The plot follows a middle-class man who loses his young son to a man made disaster,thus making him hate those in power.The anguish of not even the body being retrieved and no less guilt, instigates him on the path to retribution.He kidnaps a politician's son and the child in turn, brings out the father in him,as well as bitter memories.'Masoom Sa',chronicling the birth of his only child and his years of single parenting is a beautiful ode to broken families,offering hope of finding happiness no matter the circumstances. Irrfan proves his mettle yet again through seemingly effortless acting.Jimmy Shergill and Vishesh Bansal have delivered good performances.Amazingly, the kidnapper-victim duo who oddly strike up an understanding(Stockholm syndrome,as helpfully put forward by the boy himself,and reminiscent of Imitiaz Ali's 'Highway')lighten up the mood more than once with their dry humour.'Madaari' brings to the fore burgeoning social issues and is brilliantly complemented by the actors onboard.
