Irrfan's story slowly unveils through various scenes. Slowly a bond develops between Rohan and Irrfan. Meanwhile Irrfan continues his journey along with Rohan in different hideouts with different makeovers. The biggest challenge before Nachiket is that the face / whereabouts of the kidnapper are unknown. Prashant and the Chief Minister Nimbadkar deputes Nachiket Varma (Jimi Shergill), a cop, to find out the what, why and how of Rohan's kidnapping and also to rescue him. In Delhi, Rohan's parents Prashant and Jaya are worried due to Rohan's kidnapping.
Frames move to the flashback of how Irrfan manages to kidnap Rohan from a school hostel in Dehradoon. Then we get to see bearded Irrfan Khan in a moving train. The frames move to the breaking news of kidnapping of Home Minister Prashant Goswami's (Tushar Dalvi) son Rohan Goswami (Vishesh Bansal). Simultaneously various news flashes in regard to the various contemporary incidents happening in various corners of the country, right from the collapse of a bridge to increase in the vegetable prices to farmers' suicides, inflation, unemployment, water crisis etc. Soon after the voice-over, we see the back profile of Irrfan Khan with a child at a railway station. Madaari begins with Irrfan's voice-over, which in fact is the essence of the whole film. But at least an effort to convey a pertinent point through such films generate hopes of changes in the outlook towards world and also making world a better place to live.
We are aware of these shortcomings of our society, system, government, hardly doing anything to change the system, still unable to bring any changes. Not because the film is not good, but because, the subject of the film is so relevant. Although as a viewer, I did feel disillusioned. I would admit that Madaari might lack the action-packed thrilling sequences as that of Wednesday, but Madaari has its own strengths and it also very successfully conveys the message. when a common man decides to raise his voice against the powerful, it does make a difference. The underlying concept of Madaari is also the same, i.e. A Wednesday was an engaging thriller with an unimaginable and unpredictable dramatic twist, which was set on the premise of terrorism. It is very much inevitable to draw parrallels with Neeraj Pandey's 2008 film 'A Wednesday'. Madaari, a Social-Thriller film by Nishikant Kamath, is one more attempt by a filmmaker to take head-on with the corrupt systems existing in our country.
