हिंदी मीडियम (2017)

Hindi medium is family movie and should be watched by every Indian. The movie shows how today's society give so much importance to English language rather than their own hindi language. People judge the standard of a person by their language, if he speaks fluent English then he is smart and intelligent and if not then he maybe illiterate.
Irfan Khan plays a typical delhi-6 man who runs a ladies garment shop but his wife wants a high standard life in area like Vasant Vihar. Then she wants to send their daughter to high standard English medium school. The whole story then revolves around he get admission in english medium school and so many diffulties comes on the way of process of admission.
All songs in movie are in Punjabi and they are very nice. Direction is amazing and movie gets little emotional in the climax. The solo speech given by irfan Khan in the end of movie is cherry on the cake.

Awesome movie, we are Indian are connected to this movie as we all suffer from the concept of the movie. Irfan khan is awesome and smash every record of acting by its great acting talent.

The film deals with a highly relevant and relatable subject. The charm lies in its simplicity where it never goes over the top ( except for the Step Up-esqe dance number in the end which is indigestible) . The characters are simple and so is the plot where even the solution shines out. There are several subtle elements which makes this film worth to pause (how we get rich and individualistic) and think about and at times laugh too, while it stays away from being political. However, I would have loved if a certain stern stand was taken on the issue such as the debate over RTE in private schools vs improving standards of government schools and of course profiteering. Though,
one does appreciate the class divide based on language and condescending treatment of local language speakers . Irrfan shines so do the other actors. A good watch.
