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."

Beginning of film gives context on how Raj became rich despite lacking proper education, which is much appreciated. Then we meet meeta- an the over protective mother. Script writer(s) couldn't stop themselves from vilifying the head of Delhi Grammar School which is typical of Bollywood movies. The movie portrays all rich people as callous (or perhaps even evil) and all poor people as friendly neighbor, another hallmark of bollywood movies. If one sets out to find cliche in this movie there are just too many. However, the puns just seem to work. Deepak Dobriyal shines brighter than Irrfan khan. I enjoyed watching the whole movie but it doesn't mean I agree with the message of the movie. Just like a character in movies says 'garibi ek din me smjh nhi ayegi', the film makers don't get why Government school keep getting worse.
... View MoreThe film tackles the subject of ludicrous education industry of India and the class division. With wonderful performances from Irrfan Khan, Saba Qamar and Deepak Dobriyal, the film entertains with the focus on how and what Indians regard as classy. But the film never reaches its full potential, it touches a lot of areas but doesn't expand on it. There are a lot of problems in both government and private schools other than just the admission parts which are not focused but out of ignorance(?) glorified.
