MADRAS CAFÉ

Plot: An Indian army officer is sent to Sri Lanka on a covert mission with a possibility for confronting with a correspondent which guides him to some sort of information that will transform the paths of his existence.
Review: I honestly believe that Madras Café is a interesting espionage form of a thriller. It balances acts between staying accurate to latest geopolitical records and the need to serve up an imagined, dramatized spy story. I also think that at no point did Madras café appears to be in peril of losing its balance and dipping into dullness and may be this is the first Indian film that has been dragged into view involving the country’s political sights outside of its own borders. Dealing with civil war and the ideology of a rebel group is portrayed very systematically and can actually hold on to the interest of the viewer even if it seems predictable at times.
