Yami Gautam is damn underrated and this movie just proves my point. A Thursday is an exhilarating 2022 film that brings a fresh twist to the thriller genre, offering audiences an exciting and enjoyable experience. While it may have its share of flaws, this film manages to keep viewers engaged with its intriguing premise and commendable performances.

One of the standout aspects of A Thursday is its unique and refreshing storyline. The film takes us on a thrilling journey through an unexpected hostage situation that unfolds on an ordinary Thursday. Naina, a nursery school teacher, holds 16 children hostage and produces a list of unfathomable demands to the police. With unexpected twists and turns, the narrative keeps us on the edge of our seats, eager to unravel the mystery. It’s a welcome departure from the typical cookie-cutter thrillers we often encounter.

A talented star cast delivers what it is tasked with

The performances in A Thursday deserve applause. The talented ensemble cast brings their characters to life with genuine conviction. Yami Gautam‘s portrayal of Naina is particularly gripping, effectively capturing the internal struggle faced during the hostage situation. The supporting cast also delivers solid performances with the work they are given. However, while the central character receives ample screen time to showcase their internal struggles, some characters don’t get the full spotlight treatment, leaving them a bit flat and one-dimensional. Exploring their backgrounds and motivations would have enriched the overall storytelling.

The film has its share of adrenaline pumping as well as steam losing moments, asking for a better edit

While the film does have its share of unreal and over-the-top moments, it maintains a well-paced rhythm, ensuring a continuous adrenaline rush. The director skillfully builds tension and suspense, keeping audiences engrossed throughout. Intense moments are balanced with lighter scenes, allowing for character development and moments of respite. But, the film’s pacing could have been more consistent. There are moments when the story takes a detour and loses a bit of steam, like a rollercoaster hitting a small bump. A tighter editing approach and a more concise narrative could have helped maintain a consistently captivating experience.

All in all, A Thursday presents an exciting premise that grabs viewers’ attention. With strong performances and effective pacing, it delivers an exhilarating and enjoyable ride. Although the film has its flaws, it remains entertaining and offers a fresh take on the thriller genre. If you’re in the mood for a thrilling and unpredictable experience, A Thursday is definitely worth checking out, as it offers a rollercoaster ride of excitement despite its imperfections.
