Performances : Tannisnta Chatterjee who is the powerhouse of
talent has played her role brilliantly and at ease . Ram Kapoor’s role though
very small but very good . All others
are good as per their role.
Anant Mahadevan as a Director has excelled in his direction
, he has managed to touch the sensitive spinal chord of the Indian Education
System that believes in quantity of
education but lacks in providing quality education which is a must .
The film also focuses onn this google syndrome that the youth of today is addicted to , they think google is enough for them , but prof Santoshi says that google only provides information , how to use this information to lead to performance only the teacher’s can teach . Quality and not quantity of eduction is what we need in our society .
Final Verdict : It’s a must watch for parents and students
and teacher’s
Rating : 3.5*/5*
