Raj Batra is running a successful business of bridal wears in downtown Delhi. Although he is rich, he is not highly educated and is also not fluent in English. His wife on the other hand Meeta aspires to be of a high class culture. Both of them have studied in a Hindi Medium government school. Meeta wants to adamantly get her child Pia admitted into the top English schools so that they can come in the category of high class cultural society of English speaking people in Delhi. The parents also seek the help of a consultant played by Tillotamma Shome. Both the parents try every possibility to get Pia admitted, but fail. They are only left with one chance of getting their child admitted in these schools which is through RTE(Right to Education) quota. Will they be able to grab this opportunity? Will they be successful in getting their child admitted? What are the problems and challenges they will face?
This movie is based on a story of today's times where admission into any top private school is very difficult and challenging for both the parents & the child as they have to go through a no of tests and interviews.
The film is very humorous and also gives a very good moral lesson in the end. The film throughout is never boring and is very engaging.
This is Saket Chaudhary's best movie till date of the three movies he is directed, as it is also thought provoking. His direction is very good.
Of the performances Irfan Khan is absolutely first-rate and his comic timing is also good. He has proven his mettle yet again. Saba Qamar in her debut Hindi movie does a great job as well. The other actors who need a special mention are the consultant Tilotama Shome and Deepak Dobriyal.
The music is also in sync with the movie.
Overall Hindi Medium is a must watch for all parents including their children and not to be missed. Highly recommended.
