Hindi Medium a movie which has to be watched by all parents especially who are so obsessed to place their kids in convents and premium institutions undermining the Government institutions without even knowing about their operations. Irrfan Khan strikes again with his flawless acting who plays the role of a rich businessman. The movie revolves about a family who go through all different kinds of troubles to get an admission for their son in a top notch institute in Delhi. The movie is a blend of humour with a little drama and emotion.This movie has a very convincing ending and has touched the public's hearts.

A movie which is relatable as anything. Irfaan Khan and Saba Qamar left no stone unturned to do justice to their roles. The movie worked because it is topical. Having said that, subject of the movie is not the only thing that made movie a hit, it is the leads and other characters who took the movie several notches higher. Mallika Dua's cameo stands out as it really stole the show. The movie has feel of sadness, happiness, reality and everythinh the makers wanted the movie to had. It struck right chord with the viewers. R.K. Chaudhary,'s keen eye for period made this flick which delved in reality and was really the need of the hour. Thhmbs up for the flick!

Hindi Medium is a film directed by Saket Chaudhary. Knowing what Saket has directed previously I had no hopes for the film. But as I saw the trailers for this film, I thought that this a was going to be a great film. And man, it was a great movie.

Plot: Raj and Mita struggle to get admission for their daughter into a good school.

Story and Direction: The story is very real and mostly simplistic. No gimmicks, high-fi songs, etc... It can be termed as a slice of life kind of film. The scenario of the high society, middle class and lower class is very clearly shown in this film. You can feel for the characters in each and every scene. The film never bores you. The length of the film is also perfect. The only fault with the film I can say is the cinematic liberties that it took. Some of the scenes felt that 'Is this possible??'. Other than that , I can't fault the film in any way.

Acting: Irrfan has again proved as to why he is what he is. His comic timing is impeccable. Saba Qamar was also good as the concerned mother. Deepak Dobriyal was great as the poor man. He also got many laughs in me. Amrita Singh was also good. Sanjay Suri and Neha Dhupia in cameos were also good.

Favorite Scene: It would obviously be the scene where Shyam Prasad hits the mosquito and shows it to Raj and Mita. That scene was hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing in that scene.

Music: Sachin-Jigar put together a very nice soundtrack. It doesn't actually add to the run-time of the film, that songs mostly do. I had no problem with the remixed Punjabi tracks since it didn't add to the run-time ('O Ho' was played during a dance number and 'Suit' is played in the end credits). 'Hoor' I would say was my favorite track of the film.

Verdict: This again goes to prove that you don't need a lavish budget and songs to make a good movie. A good story with the right cast and crew can also do that. This film is easily one of my favorites that have come out this year.

I am giving it a 9/10.
