A Wednesday! opens with Mumbai police commissioner Prakash Rathod (Anupam Kher) resting after a jog, describing in a voice-over that he is going to retire the following day. He goes on to describe the most challenging case he faced in his career.An unnamed man (Naseeruddin Shah) carries a travel bag, assumed to contain explosives, in the Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station and proceeds to hide the bag in the restroom of a police station near the Mumbai Police headquarters. He then arrives on the rooftop of a building under construction where he has set up his base of operations, equipped with several sim cards, mobile phones and other gadgets. He calls Rathod and informs him that he has placed five bombs in locations throughout Mumbai and has programmed them to explode simultaneously within four hours unless the Commissioner gives in to his demands and releases four militants. In response, Rathod immediately alerts his team involved in intelligence research and surveillance, tapping all the available resources to trace the location of the caller. Meanwhile, the caller tips off television news reporter Naina Roy (Deepal Shaw), telling her to reach the police headquarters immediately as it is going to be "the most important day of her life". Rathod initially suspects the anonymous caller is bluffing, but his doubts are dispelled as the caller, to prove his seriousness and the police force's helplessness, reveals that a bomb has been planted in the police station right across the Police headquarters. He further scares them by calling the cell phone attached to the bomb but does not detonate the bomb. Just then Roy reaches the scene on the caller's instructions and reports about the situation.

Oh, this was a hell of a bad movie. I let myself be misguided by the good ratings.The music was probably the only positive in this movie. The special effects were horrible. The bomb blowing up at the airport scene? Oh my.. something like this could only be created in India. There was some guy who got scared by a man threatening him on the phone, but it seems it was an "out of the story" scene. We have some bully-policeman, who beats everyone up. Well.. I'm not surprised why India is still in the place it is if the locals approve that. There's only one step from being fond of a character like that to using the same methods in one's real life. And then we have husbands treating wives like this, parents treating children like this etc. And these children later grow becoming terrorists. The bully gets shot by the other policeman and no one cares that it's a bullet from a police gun. Well.. I suppose the viewer should assume that all the police is corrupt and will cover that. An the end the movie is not credible for also one simple reason. No government fulfills terrorists's demands. If they would, anyone could simply demand something and expect it to be realized. So.. NO. It's just another unjustly high rated pseudo-moral movie from India.
