At the same time, it points out the plight of government schools where the major concern is not just lack of infrastructure and facilities but also the lack of students. Kudos to the makers for highlighting the way education is being turned into a business (which only the rich can afford) in our country. This is a film with which every Indian student and parent will be able to relate. Irrfan and Dishita Sehgal’s dance with Tarey Gin Gin is a delight to watch! Hindi Medium Review: The Last Word Arjun and Ek Jindari sung by Taniskaa Sanghvi are my favourite numbers from the album. Suit Suit composed and sung by Guru Randhawa feat. Irrfan Khan is surely the best choice for this film. Hindi Medium draws so much from reality that many people will be able to relate to it. The film shows that our society is divided into two parts- those who speak English and those who don’t.Įven though the film gets a bit too dramatic in a few scenes, but if you choose to ignore that, it is entertaining. Saket Chaudhary’s last directorial Shaadi Ke Side Effects might have failed to leave an impact but with his latest one, Hindi Medium, he does not give a chance to complain. Pakistani actress Saba Qamar is impressive as a dominating wife and a mother who is desperate to ensure good (read English) education for her daughter so that she does not lag behind in the rat race.Īmrita Singh plays a strict but corrupt headmistress and she does it with such finesse that I seriously cannot imagine anybody else in that role. Irrfan never fails to impress and his comic timing deserves mention. Irrfan Khan and Deepak Dobriyal compete with each other in terms of performance. The script in some aspects bears resemblance to Shiboprosad Mukherjee and Nandita Roy’s Bengali film Ramdhanu but those who have watched both, will surely know that the similarities are not major. The plot gets a bit predictable towards the end and the film glorifies government schools, which are looked down upon in our society. The dialogues are hilarious and keep you entertained throughout.
The film warns us that outer polish is not enough get your values right first. While, the film is thoroughly enjoyable, it is tailor made for the Indian society and shows how parents struggle to get their kids admitted to reputed schools, how they suffer from a constant fear of failure, from a fear of not fitting in the ‘class’ and how education has shockingly become a booming business in the country. Zeenat Lakhani scores in delivering this serious message in the garb of humour and comedy. The film is a wakeup call for a society where if you are not well versed in English, you will be mocked, laughed at. Hindi Medium is an enjoyable and realistic tale which lands a tight slap on the face of a society which considers English as a parameter for judging people, where people are not taken seriously if they don’t speak English well and they are made to feel inferior.
THE MEDIUM MOVIE MOVIE
Will Piya get a chance in an English medium school? What happens to the family? Hindi Medium Movie Review Hindi Medium Review: Script Analysis Mita’s only concern is that if her daughter fails to achieve something in life, she will get depressed and start consuming drugs. There they meet a couple Shyam Prakash and his wife who not only help them with whatever they can but also risk their life for Piya’s admission, while they are also trying to admit their son in the same school. However, they are not greeted warmly by the residents of that housing society, where the ladies divide themselves into kitty groups based on their children’s school and refuse to let their kids play with Piya as she speaks in Hindi.įrustrated with several failed attempts at getting their daughter admitted into an English medium school, Raj and Mita move to a slum in Bharat Nagar and submit a form for their daughter Piya in the best school of the city under the BPL quota. She wins every argument with her husband just by asking him English spellings of every English word he utters and making him feel inferior. The couple tries hard to fit in the ‘high-class’ society including switching to designer clothes and a dominating Mita even forces her husband to address her as honey, instead of Mitthu, which he used to call her. They leave their ancestral home and move to a posh South Delhi location in an attempt to improve their status, so that they can fit in a society, where in Mita’s words, English is not just a language but also class, which only a good school can provide. However, trouble begins in their paradise when they try to admit their daughter Piya into an English Medium school. Raj owns a shop where he sells first copies of designer lehengas and Mita is a homemaker. Mita and Raj Batra are a well-off couple, who are deeply in love with each other.
