'''''Irada''''' ({{translation|Intention}}) is a 2017 Indian [[thriller film]] directed by Aparnaa Singh and produced by Falguni Patel and Prince Soni. The film is written by Aparnaa Singh and Anushka Rajan, and stars [[Naseeruddin Shah]], [[Arshad Warsi]], [[Divya Dutta]], [[Sharad Kelkar]], [[Sagarika Ghatge]] in lead roles.

The film raises the contemporary ecological issues of [[uranium poisoning]], reverse boring, fertilizer poisoning due to the [[green revolution]] and their immediate adverse impact on the people who live in Malwa region.

== Plot ==
The film is set in Bathinda, with its thermal power plants and factories in the background and is based on the true story of this city and its people.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Gonsalves|first1=Colin|title=Killing a country's ecology|url=http://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/killing-a-countrys-ecology/article7151373.ece|accessdate=22 May 2017|work=The Hindu|date=9 April 2015}}</ref>

The daughter of an ex Army man ([[Naseeruddin Shah]]) discovers that she has a serious life-threatening illness. Gradually they piece together the reason for this and discover that it is due to the carcinogenic elements that have entered the ground water. Everyone in the city is affected by it.<ref name="film">{{cite web|last1=Sharma|first1=Aparnaa|title=Iraada – the full film|url=https://www.youtube.com|website=You tube|publisher=Aparnaa Sharma|accessdate=22 May 2017}}</ref>

A journalist meanwhile has discovered files that will incriminate the people responsible for this ground water poisoning, but he is kidnapped and missing. His girl friend ([[Sagarika Ghatge]]), who is also a journalist pursues the case, trying to convince the authorities to arrest the people responsible.

Meanwhile, a mysterious bomb blast in a business tycoon ([[Sharad Kelkar]])'s factory prompts the state CM ([[Divya Dutta]]) to hire an NIA officer ([[Arshad Warsi]]). He meets the ex-army man seeking revenge for his dead daughter and the journalist demanding justice for her slain boyfriend. He himself tries to balance his knowledge of the truth, his wish for a more stable posting (having just come from a Naxal region), a better family life and his conscience.

The film also uses Hindi poetry and Urdu [[Shayari]] to convey its message at critical junctures. Parts of the Hindi poet [[Dushyant Kumar]]'s poem ""Ho Gayi hai Peer Parvat Si"(हो गई है पीर पर्वत-सी)" have been used by Naseeruddin Shah's character, especially during a book launch, to convey that people need to speak out and rise when they see injustice.

There are too many parallel narratives and Aparnaa Singh's limited directorial skills aren't enough to handle the snags"<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mid-day.com/articles/irada-movie-review-film-rating-arshad-warsi-naseeruddin-shah-sagarika-ghatge-bollywood-news/18002199 |title=Irada – Movie Review |publisher=[[Mid-Day]]}}</ref> Udita Jhunjhunwala of [[LiveMint]] praised the concept of the film and the performances of actors [[Naseeruddin Shah]] and [[Arshad Warsi]] but criticized the execution of the film saying that, "While there’s no faulting Irada’s intentions, the narrative is poorly crafted and clumsily executed."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.livemint.com/Leisure/Row2TbG0ldmhiGD32pYOxM/Film-Review-Irada.html |title=Film Review : Strong performances by Naseeruddin Shah and Arshad Warsi, but the film-making leaves much to be desired |publisher=[[LiveMint]]}}</ref> [[Namrata Joshi]] of [[The Hindu]] said that, "Irada has its heart in the right place—dealing with the theme of ecological and human hazards that points to big corporations and their irresponsible disposed of chemical wastes. But alas, it fails to fashion a compelling film out of it."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thehindu.com/entertainment/reviews/Irada-review-conscientious-but-not-compelling/article17319770.ece |title=Irada: Conscientious but not compelling |work=[[The Hindu]]}}</ref>

Meena Iyer of [[The Times of India]] praised the concept of the film saying that, "Irada has its heart in the right place. Having picked up a subject that talks of environmental hazards, debutant director Aparnaa Singh’s conscientious streak shows" but criticized its writing saying that, "the film’s failing is {{sic|it|’s|}} amateur writing and execution. You can see that the maker is crushed under the weight of the material chosen". The critic gave the film a rating of 2.5 out of 5.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/irada/movie-review/57170654.cms |title=Irada – Movie Review |work=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref> Box Office India said, "Aparnaa Singh's direction makes Irada a gripping and an intriguing film, which opens your eyes to some harsh realities in the world."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://boxofficeindia.co.in/review-irada/ |title=Review: Irada |access-date=17 February 2017}}</ref> Shubha Shetty Saha from Catch News rated the film 3.5 out of 5 stars and said, "Arshad Warsi and Naseeruddin Shah surprise us with this socially relevant thriller!"<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.catchnews.com/bollywood-news/irada-movie-review-arshad-warsi-and-naseeruddin-shah-surprise-us-with-this-socially-relevant-thriller.html |title=Irada movie review: Arshad Warsi and Naseeruddin Shah surprise us with this socially relevant thriller! |access-date=16 February 2017}}</ref> Stutee Ghosh of [[The Quint]] gave the film a rating of 2.5 out of 5 saying that, "‘Irada’ is well intentioned. Unfortunately, however, it suffers from amateurish execution. It has some nice touches but it never truly comes together. Still, it deals with an important issue that should reach more people and it definitely merits attention."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.thequint.com/entertainment/irada-movie-review-naseeruddin-shah-aparnaa-singh-stutee-ghosh |title='Irada' Review: Good Intentions But Amateur Execution |publisher=[[The Quint]]}}</ref> Rachit Gupta of [[Filmfare]] gave the film a rating of 1.5 out of 5 and said that, "The clichéd story telling, the jaded treatment, this film massacres its objective – that of highlighting the rampant pollution of habitats in Punjab. The only silver lining to this film is watching the great cast trying to lend respectability to a movie that least deserves it."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.filmfare.com/reviews/movie-review-irada-18826.html |title=Movie Review – Irada |publisher=[[Filmfare]]}}</ref>
