Angreezi Medium – A Class of International University

Miss you Irfan Sir,

The movie is shot in Udaipur, a confused Champak (Irfan Khan) marries an educated girl and as a husband of the old book Indian society stops her studies and makes her a home maker. He realises the mistake of stopping her wife from studies, with her death he decides to make his daughter the empowered woman who out of the bounded called misogynistic society.

The wish of her(daughter) going to the foreign university is in process with an opportunity popping out of the school she studies . She works hard for the position and gets through the seat for the Foreign University. However, due to the circumstance, the opportunity gets missed. The upsetting situation just converts into a challenge of entering the British University sets a journey of difficulty to Irfan Khan and his cousin brother Gopi Bansal (Deepak Dobriyal).

The structure of the movie is scripted well in the first half and second half falls for its lengthy screen timing. But, does not puts you down due to the fabulous acting of the Irfan Khan and bunch of good actors. One side you have two actors who are the experts of good acting and on the other special appearance by Pankaj Tripati as Tony just robs the scene in spite of the genius Irfan Khan in it.

Champaks daughter Tarika just reaches the dream world in UK and finds herself fixed in the British culture that teaches you of being a free being from the age of 18 and not about parents’ intervention in their personal life. This scene just remembered me of an interview where Aishwarya Rai was, the anchor of the show asked, why at your middle age of around 30 is still with your parents for supports. Then reply was one of the best “We do not need an appointment to see our parents”. This statement is literally the second half of the movie that goes with the fight of Father and daughter.  

This movie is literally connected to the fabulous Fathers of the country and the world, who is always in the road for the daughter’s success. In “Hindi Medium” episode, Husband (Irfan Khan) dances to the dream of his wife, who needs her daughter to study in a good English medium school. In addition, in this episode, as a father (Irfan Khan) he is fighting hard to get a seat for his daughter in top University of London.

As said before, the big minus would be the unnecessary lengthy scenes that slows the movies pace. But, the actors in the scenes just keeps you in the show despite the slowness. The surprise entry of Dimple Kapadia and Kareena Kapoor Khan adds up to the best moments of the movie. Dimple Kapadia as the owner of a shop and Kareena Kapoor Khan as her daughter, a Police officer gives more strength to the movie. To mention Radhika Madhan as Tarika Bansal also played her part to the best as a daughter who dreams of going to a foreign country for studies and settle for. 

However, it was Irfan Khan for the last time for us brought in another brilliant performance as Champak that would stay for a long time in the mind.

Cast: Irrfan Khan, Kareena Khan Kapoor, Radhika Madhan, Deepak Dobial, Dimple Kapadia, Ranvir Shorey, Kiku Sharda, Pankaj Tripati
