The film opens in a jail in India where in the male ward, a bunch of under-trail prisoners are trying to catch a mouse, which ends up becoming a betting game for all the other prisoners. Sanju the under-trail prisoner who successfully catches the mouse takes his share and leaves. Meanwhile, in the girls' ward, Bindu an under-trail prisoner is illegally earning money by providing her fellow prisoners with eyebrow-cutting and manicure services. A senior prisoner refuses to pay her and Bindu angrily steals money from her and runs. The other girls chase her and thrash her brutally for her antics.
All the prisoners are called by the jailer SP Dhulia who announces that for the first time on the occasion of Independence Day of India, a male-female joint musical band of under-trail prisoners will be created to participate in the Independence Day function. He also announced that the band will be rewarded with grace points, which will help them to get their jail sentences cleared at the earliest. Subsequently, auditions happen and Sanju and Bindu are selected for the band along with Maskeen Singh, Ogu, Rufi, Tatyana and Sange. The group bonds quickly and decides to give their best to get their jail charges cleared as soon as possible, as per the promise of Dhulia. They also reveal their reasons for being imprisoned. Sanju has been framed by the husband of a woman whom he had given a lift on a rainy night to reach home, for trying to molest her. Bindu was accused of trying to kidnap her niece by her brother-in-law who actually was indulging in violence with his wife and daughter. Rufi reveals that after his wedding, he purchased a car which got stolen. After a few days, he discovered that the bomb blast in his city was triggered by his car. Since he hadn't registered a missing complaint of his car, he is framed for being a part of a terrorist group. Ogu is imprisoned for trying to procure drugs in Goa.
The lyrics for the songs have been written by Kausar Munir, Habib Faisal, Peter Muxka Manuel and Sidhant Mago. All the songs featured in the film are sung by Arijit Singh and Yashita Sharma. The soundtrack consists of 9 songs and was released on 26 July 2017 by YRF Music.
The film garnered mixed reviews from critics. In a review published by Hindustan Times, it received a rating of 2 out of 5. However, the review also lauded the music composer, Amit Trivedi, hailing him stating that "the genius of music composer Amit Trivedi, who is the real star of this interesting yet ordinary film."[5]
I've watched a lot of sub-par YRF productions over the years, but Qaidi Band takes the modak-shaped cake. It looks like the illegitimate millennial-mocking offspring conceived out of an amorous train-toilet union between a depressed Rock On!! and a neurotic (insert random prison break drama). It bears all the authenticity of One Direction acclimatizing to Tihar Jail, and is as incredulously unnecessary and superficial as Paris Hilton experiencing the tough life of a prisoner for another cash-grabbing reality show.
There is literally no excuse for such an outdated, vain, deluded and senile film to exist on this planet in 2017. It might be intended as a "spirited" launch pad for two young newcomers, but the only thing it really launches is the pit at the bottom of my stomach straight out through my mouth. And I promise this image is still far more appetizing than writer-director Habib Faisal's latest monstrosity.
Except perhaps the villain (Sachin Pilgaonkar, as the evil jailer), everyone else seems to be part of some elaborate modern-day parody of Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani. As a result, Qaidi Band's consistent commitment to awfulness might have claimed another victim in its messy slipstream.
Think about it: A frustrated group of innocent under-trials form a band and use their music as a way to vitalize the country and achieve freedom. If there was ever a story that seamlessly lent itself to the heightened Bollywood dichotomy of song and drama, this was it. I mean who doesn't want to see a harmless preppie rendition of sarkaari cops as bad guys and sad-eyed convicts as noble beings again? If Sanju (Aadar Jain) and Bindu (Anya Singh), along with a carefully handpicked group of ethnically diverse fugitives, can expose the nation's feeble Justice and Law system with all the conviction of Malabar Hill students tattling to their principals, what's not to like? Never mind that all of them deserve to be behind bars for participating in a recklessly researched tale like this. I could swear there were a Belarusian girl and a Manipuri lady in the band who disappeared midway through the film. Could each frame not handle so much culture?
There's such an elaborate plasticity to even the most basic emotions that it's hard not to imagine how detached from ground realities these creators are. Amateur band competitions with a top prize of INR 50 lakhs? In what alternate universe? Bollywood, of course. Under-trials suddenly sounding like an international Sufi band (Sainanis, it seems) once they are given branded equipment? YRF's Bollywood, of course.
"So much has been sacrificed to achieve our freedom. But it's ironic that the freedom of the citizens is taken for granted because of the complex judicial system. People have literally fallen into a black hole because we don't have enough judges and courts," Faisal said.
Citing the example of Assam's Machal Lalung, who was released after spending 54 years in jail as an undertrial, Faisal said during his research, he came to know that 70 per cent of the inmates in India are undertrials waiting for a verdict.
"What primarily drove me to write this story was how we take our freedom for granted and in the trailer there is a dialogue where the character says, 'What has happened to us can happen to you as well. Keep your freedom safe,''' Faisal said. Faisal said he later saw a documentary on the band The Flying Souls, where they are seen performing a song called Freedom for jail inmates.
"And then I also came to know that they organise a Tihar Idol, where they bring together the inmates from male and female wards together. It made me realise that there was enough potential for a story. Our jails are the microcosm of the society outside," he said.
The Yash Raj Films project will launch two newcomers -- Aadar Jain and Anya Singh. It is the second time that Faisal is working with newcomers after Ishaqzaade in 2012, which launched Arjun Kapoor opposite a relatively new Parineeti Chopra.
"The story was such that it needed people who will create a world which does not even have a hint of the film industry or make-believe. To best reflect the concerns of the story, it was important to get the drama and the colour of that world right. Both Adi (Aditya Chopra) and I felt it should have newcomers and they had to be cast carefully. It was a rigorous process. We shortlisted many people and put them through workshops to finally arrive on these seven, who are not only good actors but also have strong individual personalities," he said.
Faisal, whose first film had thespians like Rishi and Neetu Kapoor, said the process of working with actors whether new or experienced was not much different. "If actors are excited about the story and surrender themselves to the vision of the story and the director, then it does not matter whether they are new or established," he said.
The band continues to perform with immense reluctance under duress, and Faisal makes the point well that prisoners are always at the mercy of the law and order machinery. Despite their viral videos and the fame they enjoy outside the prison walls, little changes on the inside for the band members.
