Thinkistan Review

We live in a place where a person’s intelligence is measured by his fluency in English and his status is measured by the brands he wears. This is how superficial our society has become. Thinkistan is set in the city of Bombay in early 1990’s, a crucial era for advertising in India. The story is based on two polar opposite men Hema and Amit. Hema is the city bred well educated and stylish guy who is automatically considered to be the life of his company. Whereas Amit is from an impoverished lifestyle whose opinion does not matter much because of Hindi speaking existence. I am not a big fan of the show because it is prolonged way more than necessary and is quite repetitive. Though, Amit still manages to take everybody’s heart with his simplicity and innocence. I just wish he was given more screen time.
