Linkshoch Wonderful Movie
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
EngineerSahab A movie made in India but every person around the world can relate himself/herself to the theme of this wonderful piece of work which is based on the fact that, we live in a world where your class/standard is determined by the language you speak (and not just language by the way) and this movie honestly portrays the challenges faced by those who are discarded from the main stream just on the basis of the language they speak. The best thing about this movie is that it perfectly delivers this important message without lacking anywhere in the entertainment front (filled with humor and brilliant acting). I am sure you will fall in love with this Raj & Mitthu (sorry "Honey") pair instantly. Irfan as the obedient and madly in love with his wife kind of husband and Saba Qamar as a demanding and dominating wife is such a fun to watch. This movie will revive your faith in Indian Cinema which has been damaged by many Indian Superstars who cash on their loyal fan followings for grand box office collection with nothing to offer in return (a descent and original piece of work is what we expect)."Talent speaks the language of a genius, surprisingly it's not the languages we all speak."
priyanka-17164 So refreshing to have seen a film that addresses a social problem faced by not the very rich or the very poor, but two different types of people in between. Excellent performances from underrated stars, and enough humour to keep the momentum going throughout the film. Kudos to the film makers for the excellent concept and choice of actors
Bhanu Soni This movie is complete package. It has drama,emotion, comedy,romance & social message. Great acting by lead star Irfan & Deepak. Story & screenplay is perfect. director has given everything needed. Music is enjoyable with story line. this movie holds you till the end. Just go for it. & Best part is you can watch it with anyone whether you gf/bf or Parents.
sanjay lathish Saket Chaudary has a done marvelous job of creating such a beautiful movie which is packed with humour, love, and a deep look into the education system of our country.the directer saket has directed this more of a satirical-comedy way, so that every viewer can lay back and enjoy it with a popcorn. That way it will also give the movie much more viewers. Now a days people love watching movies as a stress reliever , so they look for a movie which is kind hearted, fun, romance and Hindi Medium fits the bill.We all know the current education system is all about money and quality rather than education. I live in Kerala so i don't know whether some scenes portrayed in the movie about taking admissions in high level school's is true or not (it happens in Kerala but i don't think its anywhere nearer to it). But if its true then the country is spoiled big time . There is a scene where irfan khan says other countries are fine with wrong vocabulary of English and if we Indians make one single error, then he/she doesn't have a value in the society. This is so true in the current society and it has been portrayed so beautifully. i could go on about the story and scenes but its better you enjoy it yourself rather than hearing it from a stranger.we all know irfan khan is an absolutely stunning actor, here he is the uneducated Indian and that especially create a lot of funny scenes, the role of the father is safe as it can get in the hands of irfan. he is the heartbeat of the movie. saba qamar as a mother craves for quality has been portrayed so brilliantly,we can relate her to our so called "english loving neighbours". irfan- saba combinations scenes are also feels very real. Deepak Dobriyal as Shyamprakash was superb and needs special mention. All the kids requires special congratulation for their performance.If you loved English vinglish, which has similar theme then this one is tailor made for you.
