A Wednesday (Neeraj Pandey) 2008
Talking point: How can a film starring
Anupam Kher and
Naseeruddin Shah in the lead be entertaining? Well Neeraj Pandey proved everyone wrong with his gripping, to-the-point thriller, about a common man's reaction to terrorism. It's a perfect example of blending art house sensibilities into the mainstream format. Hard to believe that this film was lying unsold for a very long time.
Follow up: No formal announcements but we are sure he has a busy awards reason ahead.
