In
one
of
the
scenes,
Richa
Chadha
as
Tara
addresses
the
crowd
while
campaigning
for
the
elections
and
says,
"Main
Kunwari
Hoon,
Tez
Kataari
Hun
Lekin
Tumari
Hun."
The
sheer
frolic
and
command
she
depicts
almost
makes
one
root
for
her
along
with
the
roaring
crowd
in
the
scene.
While
in
another
scene,
she
rides
a
bike
back
home
after
facing
an
unexpected
betrayal
from
a
loved
one,
wherein
the
depth
in
her
act
is
at
its
intense
best.
What's
Yay:
Richa
Chadha's
performance
complimented
by
that
of
Saurabh
Shukla,
Subhrajyoti
Barat
and
Akshay
Oberoi,
the
dialogues
and
the
cinematography
What's
Nay:
A
little
more
detailing
on
the
struggle
of
Richa's
character
Story
Madam
Chief
Minister
revolves
around
a
feisty
Tara
(Richa
Chadha)
and
her
journey
from
a
jilted
and
humiliated
lover
of
a
shrewd
politician
to
securing
the
seat
of
the
Chief
Minister
of
Uttar
Pradesh.
After
facing
a
devastating
insult
from
her
lover
Indu
Tripathi
(Akshay
Oberoi),
Tara
vows
for
revenge
and
attains
the
support
of
the
determined
and
respected
Masterji
(Saurabh
Shukla).
Masterji's
political
party
is
dedicated
towards
the
upliftment
of
the
backward
class,
and
Tara
finds
herself
more
and
more
dedicated
to
aid
him
achieve
his
goal.
The
film
traces
her
extraordinary
journey
to
become
the
Chief
Minister
of
Uttar
Pradesh
only
to
face
constant
resistance
and
betrayal
from
the
ruthless
politician
Arvind
(Subhrajyoti
Barat)
and
Indu.
However,
she
finds
solace
in
Danish
Khan
(Manav
Kaul),
her
advisor
and
later
husband.
But
will
Tara
be
able
to
grapple
the
incessant
betrayals,
treacheries
and
disloyalties
in
every
path
of
her
political
career?
Direction
Subhash
Kapoor
hits
the
right
chord
with
this
gripping
political
drama.
From
weaving
the
complexities
and
dark
web
of
politics
to
bringing
out
the
subtle
nuances
in
each
and
every
character
as
well
as
their
actions,
form
the
high
points
of
the
movie.
The
script
of
Madam
Chief
Minister
wins
big
as
it
brings
out
different
layers
and
refinements
in
Tara's
journey,
as
she
gets
more
and
more
entangled
in
the
not-so-clean
game
of
politics.
Some
of
the
dialogues
are
one
of
the
plus
points
of
the
movie.
Kapoor
successfully
enables
the
audience
to
form
a
strong
connect
with
the
characters
and
the
situations
at
every
point
in
the
film.
However,
the
film
fails
to
make
Tara's
struggle
bloom
in
a
more
refined
manner.
It
would
have
been
convincing
if
one
had
got
to
witness
how
she
sharpened
herself
to
battle
out
the
various
humdrum
of
power
and
politics.
Performances
Needless
to
say,
Richa
Chadha
is
the
prime
guiding
anchor
in
this
ruthless
political
drama.
Her
effortless
performance
as
Tara
makes
her
appear
raw,
transparent,
real
and
impeccably
powerful
at
the
same
time.
Be
it
her
endearing
scenes
with
Shukla's
character
or
her
giving
it
back
to
her
arch-rivals,
Richa
sinks
into
the
teeth
of
her
character
in
the
most
convincing
manner.
Saurabh
Shukla
as
Masterji
is
the
most
amiable
to
look
at.
The
interplay
between
his
and
Richa's
character
is
one
of
the
high
notes
of
Madam
Chief
Minister.
However,
it
is
Subhrajyoti
Barat
and
Akshay
Oberoi
who
look
menacing
and
intense
in
their
roles
of
the
main
antagonists.
Manav
Kaul
has
had
delivered
better
performances
than
this
one,
but
nevertheless
he
was
convincing
in
his
act.
Technical
Aspects
The
cinematography
by
Jayesh
Nair
hits
the
right
chord.
Some
of
the
shots
of
Tara
battling
a
life-threatening
attack
or
addressing
an
anticipated
crowd
after
becoming
the
Chief
Minister,
are
most
convincing
to
witness.
Talking
about
the
editing,
it
could
have
been
more
refined
but
does
not
affect
the
pace
of
the
film.
Music
The
background
score
and
music
by
Mangesh
Dhakde
act
as
a
fine
catalyst
for
the
film.
The
tracks
showcase
Tara's
journey
in
her
riveting
political
career.
The
song,
'Chidi
Chidi'
crooned
by
Swanand
Kirkire
is
the
one
to
look
out
for.
Verdict
Lastly,
Madam
Chief
Minister
narrates
the
extraordinary
journey
of
a
woman
struggling
to
survive
the
very
manifestations
of
politics.
This
one
curates
the
various
intricacies
in
politics
and
power
game.
Richa
Chadha
wins
big
with
her
powerful
and
riveting
act.
We
give
Madam
Chief
Minister
3.5
out
of
5
stars.
