#MovieReview #HindiMedium (2017)

Today we are herewith the review of #HindiMedium (2017), one of the movie released last week. The movie is directed by Pyar Ke Side Affects fame director Saket Choudhary and has Irfan Khan, Pakistani Actress Saba Qamar & Deepak Dobriyal in lead roles. The movie made a statement on Education system prevailing in our society moreover, it also projects the dominance of English and situation our national language HINDI. In whole, movie made a point, exposing the inadequacies and loopholes in our education system.

PLOT:

Raj Batra (Irrfan Khan), a desi delhiite runs a famous clothes store in Chandni Chowk where he sells original copies of famous designers of the country, and his wife Mithu (Saba Qamar), working out to angrizify their lifestyle so that their daughter Pia (Dishita Sehgal) got enrolled in one of the premier schools of Delhi. They have money in their kitty, but there is a big problem which is their Hindi language and the snobby elites doesn’t let the Hindi speaking ones to fit in there.

When they are not able to get their child admitted in the English Medium Schools inspite of moving to posh Vasant Vihar and their special coaching from the expert, they even applied in the poor quota seats fraudulently, and move into the poor settlements with rags. Here they met Shyam Parkash (Deepak Dobriyal), who helps them in many ways and ironically teaches them many lessons for life.

ANALYSIS:

Hindi Medium hit the right spot by picking up the issue of situation or environment created by the English Medium or Private or I can say Corporate Schools in the minds of young couples that they are the only saviours of the futures of their kids. In this backdrop the situation of the Govt. or Public Sector Schools is getting deteriorated due to one reason or another.

The film questions the society which considers English as a parameter for judging people and people speaking our national language i.e. Hindi are not taken seriously and made to feel inferior.

I can say that the film delivers the serious message in garb of humour and comedy. The dilagues are funny and entertaining but the plot is somewhat predictable especially towards the end. Some scenes in the film are bit dramatic too, but overall its entertaining and draws so much reality that many can relate to them.  Music is also good.

WHAT’S GOOD:

The movie with a social quotient is a treat to watch.

NOT GOOD:

Some overdramatic scenes which is obvious from Bollywood.

STAR PERFORMANCES:

Irrfan Khan impresses once again his super performance. Pakistani actress Saba Qamar is also impressive as a dominating wife and a mother who is desperate to ensure good education for her daughter so that she does not lag behind in the rat race. Amrita Singh plays a strict but corrupt headmistress quite perfectly. Deepak Dobriyal is also spot on with his performance as a poor but helping others like a person.

FINAL WORDS:

This is a film with which every Indian student and parent will be able to relate to and also makes a statement on situation of our national language HINDI.

My ratings for this movie is 3.5 out of 5 stars.
