Some films stay with you long after the credits roll. A Wednesday, directed by Neeraj Pandey, is one of them. A tense thriller set over the course of a single day, it pits an ordinary man (Naseeruddin Shah) against the system, with a police commissioner (Anupam Kher) caught in between. In this episode, Jyotika dives into what makes this story so powerful—the moral dilemmas, the razor-sharp dialogues, and the way it questioned authority without giving easy answers. She also connects the film to Neeraj Pandey’s later work like Special 26 and Baby, and even draws parallels to OTT shows that carry the same urgency and grit. If you love taut storytelling, unforgettable performances, and cinema that makes you think, this episode belongs on your Watchlist.
