Hindi Medium - Excellent movie

When any non Indian speaks not the perfect English we seem to be be perfectly ok with that but if the same error is done by us Indians then the dissection starts and the rest of the quality of the individual does not really matter thereafter. Wrong English spoken by Caucasians is fine but for the brown skinned Indians suddenly there erupts a Punjabi,Malayali,Bengali,Tamil accent respectively. Speaking wrong English is not a crime surely but most of us tend to make fun and get judgmental about the person. Agreed knowing English is a necessity for most of the career choices but to judge a person whose English is not perfect is really not the right thing to do. As much as we blame other countries for treating us badly, we actually are the biggest racists scrutinizing our own people to the core. I remember vividly during my school days(kvs/army schools), a lot of army officer's kids would not never play/talk/eat with kids whose fathers were not officers,guess the adults/parents in their lives are to be blamed. Sharing and caring,less is more they are just good English words if not followed in real. Its a great attempt by director Saket Chaudhary in depicting the social situation of our country and how important it is for a child to study in an English medium school. Irrfan Khan is really good as always but the actor that really stood out is Deepak Dobriyal,dare I say he stole the show :) Pakistani Actress Saba Qamar is lovely and natural to the core. Amrita Singh as the mean vicious school principal is superb. A great movie which should be watched by everyone :) Recommended
