The only reason why #AThursday partially works as a social commentary & a thriller is due to the convincing performance by #YamiGautam . While, It pales in comparison to communicate its politics like #AWednesday , the actor shines in showcasing a range & ability never seen before pic.twitter.com/qTjbtXxy2d
