2/5
Flat writing which doesn't quite know whose side to take turns this film much less than it could have been. Go to Full Review

Hindi Medium is obviously playing to the gallery. It makes you laugh, it makes you think, but its one-note characters and black-and-white divisions mean that while it makes the grade, the film is no topper. Go to Full Review

HINDI MEDIUM is a harmlessly entertaining comedy with a wonderful Irrfan Khan and enough funny moments to make up for its shortcomings. Go to Full Review

If Hindi Medium remains watchable all the same, it is only because it is difficult not to marvel at the spark that Irrfan adds to the film. Go to Full Review

Hindi Medium makes a point - several points, in fact - by being simple and straightforward yet not simplistic. Go to Full Review

The lively musical numbers, broad humour and playful performances ensure that the lecturing remains an extracurricular activity. Go to Full Review

Han W Dec 7, 2018 "Hindi Medium" tackles the education system in India head-on with razor-sharp satire. This is one of those Bollywood movies that get into a social issue but also manages to be entertaining to watch. I liked the movie's premise and it went a direction I did not see coming. I thought the performances were good and there were a few moments were I thought Irrfan Khan was even great. It's a well-intentioned movie that has a lot to say and I would say it is worth checking out for those who enjoy meaningful Indian cinema. See more
Finn R Jul 3, 2018 2018-7-1 Don't remember why I put this one in my to-watch list. It was bored at the beginning that I almost left. It's getting better from the middle. Fun and easy to watch. See more
Han M May 21, 2018 The movie flatters to deceive. The theme is promising with a brave topic. However, the movie turns too farcical early on and keeps getting worse. The story-writers appeared undecided whether they were scripting a spoofy comedy or a movie with good social messages. In the end, most of the efforts to create scenes to induce laughs turn out tragic and the emotional scenes appear laughable. See more
Luke R Mar 11, 2018 Great screenplay. great performances from irrfan khan and deepak dobriyal. addresses a very important and relevant issue in india. some gaps: over-dramaticized ending. See more
Luke G Jul 24, 2017 Great idea and entertaining movie, the ending does drag a bit
Poe S May 22, 2017 The crazy state of Indian schooling is exposed by this film in the most entertaining & relatable way. One of the best scripts put together in Bollywood recently with Irrfan Khan delivering his best work ever! The film is a laugh riot start to end & just perfectly directed. A complete family entertainer. See more
