Kudos to Irrfan and Nishikant Kamat for daring to make this poignant, provocative and politically incorrect piece of cinema, that makes its point unabashedly. Though predictable and a tad stretched, the emotional crime drama unfolds like a thriller. It tears your heart out by exposing the plight of the Middle-class citizens and their 'aukad' in the eyes of those in power. What happens when an ordinary man then becomes a juggler (Madaari used as a metaphor) and makes the corrupt dance to his tunes? While Nana Patekar's riveting Krantiveer aspired to awaken the society from its slumber, Madaari makes a similar statement in the most understated way. The socio-political drama doesn't scream for justice, it shames the culprits instead.
