Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) is the elder son of a poor and humble postman. He is brilliant in Mathematics and gets an admission letter for joining Cambridge University, after submission of a unique Mathematics Solution Paper. Is he able to avail this opportunity of studying in Cambridge? Is he able to get a sponsor or scholarship for this, once in a life time opportunity? Or does he opt to work for a very successful and Top Coaching Institute in Patna which trains students from an affluent background for IIT entrance examinations?
The story is excellent and the climax is jaw dropping.
The movie has heartfelt and inspiring moments that touch our chords. Direction by Vikas Behl is good after his much loved Queen.
Hrithik Roshan is pitch-perfect and superb as Anand Kumar. Nandish Singh does a fine job in his debut movie as his younger brother. Mrinal Thakur is good in a brief role. Pankaj Tripathi shines as an unscrupulous politician and one who also manages to tickle our funny bones. Aditya Srivastava is brilliant as the evil Lallan Singh. A special mention also for the performances of the students. The performance of all lifts the entire movie.
Music is engaging with tracks like Jugraafiya and Paisa among others.
An inspirational movie for everyone giving a message that even without access to proper education, one can rise and shine in their respective field.
