Nowadays, Parents are facing problems to get admission due to having so many formalities in the private schools. The English language is a big barrier to enter in social mobility. Irfan Khan used a dialogue in the trailer ‘India Is English, English is India’ because English is a class in India to survive in Modern Society. A single parent is not ready to teach their child in a government school, whether rich or poor, everyone has to teach their child in private school. Single parent Director Saket Chaudhary has chosen a unique concept in Hindi Medium, which is trending in educational society.

Review

Hindi Medium is super enjoyable and realistic story which lands one tight slap on the face of the next generation which considers English as a class for judging people. This movie will shut the mouth of modern society where people are not taken seriously if they don’t speak English well. Hindi Medium is a wake-up call for an education society where if you are not well versed in English, you will be mocked, laughed at. A very well-written script!
