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

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. Go to Full Review

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

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. Go to Full Review

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

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

06/10/2022 A film with a nice balance of humor, heart and story, a definite light hearted must watch film! See more 08/11/2020 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.

See more 05/13/2020 The story of a common man who is desperately struggling to give his child the best education taking any means possible to accomplish those goals Story flows on how the English language divides our nation into various parts with the English Spoken few makes the elites of them all.Great Story, great comic timing So, if you still haven't watched the movie, don't miss it. See more 05/10/2020 It should be remake in all languages. Exceptional movie! See more 04/11/2020 Saket Chaudhary's "Hindi Medium" is fun and wholesome because of it's cast- Irrfan Khan is in top form, Saba Qamar is too good and Deepak Dobriyal is entertaining. But the film suffers under the weight of being too "'lightweight', so much so that the film's first half is hardly afloat. While there's no doubt the film propagates an important message, it'd have been nice to see some more good writing here. Watch it because it's not to be minded, comedy and fun.
