 🌟🌟🌟 T he latest Hotstar movie 'A Thursday ' was released on 17th February 2022 and has been a blast in the thriller genre. A simple kindergarten teacher, Naina Jaiswal holds 16 students hostage in order to fulfill some of her demands. Yami Gautam is in the lead role along with Neha Dhupia as Catherine Alvarez and Atul Kulkarni as Javed Khan. The movie fights against the Indian system, where women are raped every 16 minutes and have provided no justice for it. Naina demands to speak to the prime minister of India, as her final demand and that is when all of the suspense is revealed . Even though the movie supports a great cause, it could be said that it is seriously flawed. Some major political mistakes have been depicted and the police could have been showed more efficient. Apart from that ,the movie challenges one of the biggest issues in India and definitely should be watched by every citizen.
