I sure did.Principal stops kid on stairs and asks politely why he is late. Kid pees his pants and sobs. Principal leaves.New English teacher dresses like a 16 year old, tries really hard to smile as boyishly as possible, gives a lame-ass speech about not wanting to teach music to kids cause he's here to teach English.Cheery school Nutritionist likes to nonchalantly dress in super bright clothes, tries to delicately arm-twist English teacher into teaching the kids music.English teacher is found lip-syncing really badly to an uninspiring song holding a guitar and pretending to play it but failing miserably as he "charms" a bunch of kids into singing along with him.School Nutritionist leaps off exultantly with the wind blowing her perfectly curled hair away from her face...... I couldn't bear it, so I Shift+Deleted the file.Sorry, I have no clue what the movie was about but if the start was so painfully boring I couldn't force myself to suffer through another of Shahid's attempt at being the super-chilled-cool-happening-hip-Dude who quite frankly... isn't.
Teaching is supposed to be a noble profession and school is supposed to be a temple. It was so once upon a time. Has it remained so. This is what the movie tries to say.The movie is a satire and a blow to all those schools who want to make a business out of the school by modernizing them. This is a blow to all those parents those who want their child to be seen in television reality shows rather than top in studies.They have tried to show the pressure on the students, random fee hikes, punishing the students inhumanly. The movie tries to answer many such questions in this movie and they have successfully shown it. They have tried to show that education has taken a back seat while everything else is being highlighted.Shaheed Kapoor has Rahul Prakash Udyavar has done a wonderful role as the teacher and Ayesha Takia as the Nutrionalist is watchable. Overall, the movie is good.
As excited I was to watch a movie with Shahid Kapoor, I was also hesitant because of the weak cast involved in the making of this film.The movie started off slow, remained slow, and ended with a pace which would even make a snail feel sorry. Moving on to the story line - well, there was none. Just because it deals with an issue pertaining to the common Indian parent, doesn't make it a relate-able movie.The movie incorporated outright cheap script, story dynamics, and horrible direction.Super flop!I want my time back!
Core idea of this movie is good; it deals with the transformation of Indian education system into a profit driven machine than puts money over education of the students. Slowly study pressure on students is being replaced by pressure to gain glamor and fame at young age. Every one wants their son or daughter to be in a reality TV show and win one. It is sad to look at these young kids going through these auditions and being made a mockery of by TV channels in front of the whole country. Parents of these kids have expectations for which many of these kids have no interest or basic training. It's only the attraction of quick fame that brings them to these auditions.That said direction and screen play are mediocre at best. No memorable songs in the movie. Good actors cannot makeup for bad direction and screen play. Overall movie is a wasted effort.
