Flat writing which doesn't quite know whose side to take turns this film much less than it could have been.

Rated: 2/5

Hindi Medium is obviously playing to the gallery. It makes you laugh, it makes you think, but its one-note characters and black-and-white divisions mean that while it makes the grade, the film is no topper.

HINDI MEDIUM is a harmlessly entertaining comedy with a wonderful Irrfan Khan and enough funny moments to make up for its shortcomings.

Rated: 7/10

If Hindi Medium remains watchable all the same, it is only because it is difficult not to marvel at the spark that Irrfan adds to the film.

Rated: 2.5/5

Hindi Medium makes a point - several points, in fact - by being simple and straightforward yet not simplistic.

The lively musical numbers, broad humour and playful performances ensure that the lecturing remains an extracurricular activity.

Everyone must see it. It shows how our society destroys the main importance of actual education but now a days education is being treated like a business and it's just swallowing the actual talent and many poor peoples are not getting a chance for education for the higher competition of the riches and the marketing strategy of the businessmen. I know education is important but nowadays it's being treated like parents competition and they are pressurizing their kids like anything. This isn't expected. Just leave them like they want to be. Give them freedom and stop business with education. Education is becoming business because of parents like you cause you guys just compete with each other to show wealth and the poor peoples are dying.
