What the critics say
Critics largely praise Irrfan Khan's performance in this satire on India's English-medium schooling obsession, though some call the rich-versus-poor writing hackneyed and the characters cardboard, with a saggy second half and predictable ending noted alongside recommendations to watch.

Derived by Filmi
34
How this number was made. We read every review and derive a 0–100 reading from each — including where the critic printed a number, which stays first on its row, because it’s theirs. The Filmi Score is the mean of 3 readings; 2 of those rows also carry the critic’s own rating, shown beside ours. Rubric v2.1, computed 26 Oct 2026. Any critic can ask us to remove a derived reading.
