Madras Cafe (2013)

The story tells about the journey of a Indian intelligence agent (John Abraham) uncovering the plans and conspiracies leading up to the assassination of the ex prime minister rajiv gandhi, during the Sri lankan civil war period. A movie which doesn’t waste time in unnecessary plot lines and is trying to paint us a picture of what went behind the scene unto the tragedy that ensued.

John Abraham does a good job in this movie showcasing the stress and gravity of the situation that was going on at a turbulent time thus allowing us those unaware of the total picture understand. the supporting cast was also well casted as all of them did a great job in selling their character a hard thing to do when the screen time you get is so small. as of fact this one movie of Nargis Fakhri where i think she portrays a character in a natural manner.

the story follows a direct storyline with the assassination acting line the endpoint and showcases the events that lead to it, the director does a good job in boldly showing the story in a manner he views the facts and cuts off certain themes in a objective manner for the viewer to decide.

this is movie worth watching for reliving the past in an different light.
