Disclaimer: As a general principle, I am against coaching classes of all kinds. But these are a way of life (like the internet based media) that you cannot wish away..
There are a few good things about this film. And a couple of questions that I had. First, the good things.
The acting is good. Hrithik Roshan, the kids, Pankaj Tripathi and whoever played the Excellent Coaching boss. The guy who played Hrithik's dad was very good too. Even the female love interest of Hrithik's, though she had little to do after the first twenty minutes.
The film makes a very good point for social justice in education, and the fact that the right kind of education can transform a family's future...logically, though, every university should strive to provide this transformational education, and not just a handful of IITs. Something to think about? Of course, State governments are responsible for the state universities. And promoters, for the private ones, which are yet to match the Central government institutions in quality (in India).
The villainy is over-dramatised, I thought, and the positives take a back-seat during those scenes.
Academicians and academics do get their due through the central character- education is the winner.
A question that I had- why was Hrithik looking unwashed in the second half of the film?
Worth seeing the film. Certainly beats the current alternatives by a few marks. :)
