Initially movie sets out to make a case about India's obsession with English and education in English medium and then quietly slips into the topic of nursery admissions. 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.

With the utter non-sense of movies plaguing Bollywood these days, it was a fresh breeze to watch this gem of a movie. Really brings back my faith that Bollywood still has people who know the art of telling a story.If you have not watched this, take my word and watch it. You will not regret.

Irrfan khan is a star now. He chooses good subjects and movies with great messages. Hindi Medium has its heart in its place. it will inspire many to sponsor a poor kids education. This movie is entertaining and at that the same time it raises relevant questions. The issue in question is the education system.

So refreshing to have seen a film that addresses a social problem faced by not the very rich or the very poor, but two different types of people in between. Excellent performances from underrated stars, and enough humour to keep the momentum going throughout the film. Kudos to the film makers for the excellent concept and choice of actors
