Irrfan Steals Show In A Thoughtful But Predictable Satire!

Hindi Medium has its ups and downs in terms of storyline and storytelling. Some dialogues are brilliantly written but some really seem forced. In all, the film opens really well, goes to a high in the middle but a very predictable and loose end plays a spoiler. Nevertheless, a good effort by Sake...(more)

Hindi Medium is a fascinatingly frustrating film

A smarter director would have tried to ramp-up the believability in the scene while discovering an extra joke in the fact that the name Priya is so common.

Irrfan Khan, Saba Qamar�s film will make you laugh and cry

Irrfan-Saba's performances qualify the film in the cut-off list

Hindi Medium tries to drive home a powerful message, but in the attempt, resorts to black-and-white archetypes. From the snooty and sophisticated South Delhi type to the I-will-literally-put-my-life-at-stake-to-help-you poor, everyone is a stock character. The only grey character, perhaps, is the mo...(more)
