It wasn\u2019t an exaggeration. Without Khan, whose last outing was two years ago, there really is no film. But the real trouble with <em>Angrezi Medium<\/em> is that even with the actor, it is a regressive and garbled mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Three years ago, Saket Chaudhary\u2019s <em>Hindi Medium<\/em> treaded new ground. Despite its last-minute preachiness, <em>Hindi Medium<\/em> managed to distill a crucial detail through the language of a social satire: that the Indian performance of class superiority is the new status symbol. The film\u2019s premise compellingly and often hilariously, underlined the ever-expanding distance between a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/middle-class-mentality-indian-families\/\">middle-class<\/a> existence and access to quality education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But unlike <em>Hindi Medium<\/em>, its sequel sorely lacks a purpose or originality. This is a comedy that feels hastily assembled with contrived sub-plots, crowd-pleasing one-liners, emotional manipulation, and crude caricatures to profit off the opportunity of a franchise. Set in Udaipur, <em>Angrezi Medium<\/em> trains its lens on a dysfunctional family in the business of sweet-making, led by two warring brothers Gopi Bansal (Deepak Dobriyal) and Champak Bansal (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/bollywood\/the-lunchbox-ritesh-batra-irrfan-khan-nimrat-kaur\/\">Irrfan Khan<\/a>). Champak is a widower and an affable single parent to Tarika (an effective Radhika Madan), a sincere high-schooler obsessed with the idea of going abroad. This later manifests in her desire to go to college in London.<br><blockquote class=\"quote--center\">Irfan Khan&#8217;s comic timing is impeccable and his animated face is as watchable as it was two years ago.<\/blockquote><br>When Champak ends up unknowingly thwarting Tarika\u2019s chances to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/pov\/ghost_writer_ivy_league\/\">foreign education<\/a>, he takes it upon himself to go to any lengths to realise her dream. It just so happens that the road to getting Tarika admitted to a college in London involves several bizarre obstacles. There\u2019s deportation, identity theft, juvenile humour, casual racism directed toward Pakistanis, Ranvir Shorey\u2019s frightening British accent, and wasted cameos (Pankaj Tripathi, Kareena Kapoor, Dimple Kapadia), all of which outrank each other in being unfeasible to pull off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even then, the striking letdown of <em>Angrezi Medium<\/em> (it is written by Bhavesh Mandalia, Gaurav Shukla, Vinay Chhawall, and Sara Bodinar), is that it is not entirely sure what story it wants to tell. Initially, <em>Angrezi Medium<\/em> designs itself as an underdog tale where a family\u2019s financial inadequacy becomes the barrier to their dreams. Yet as the film progresses, it becomes evident that Champak is fairly well-off (Tarika has an iPhone and a Macbook, gadgets that are markers of affluence in the country) and the script hardly bothers to treat lack of money as a hindrance, conveniently finding ways to crowdfund it. Its approach to logic is somewhat on similar lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-60423\" src=\"http:\/\/13.201.39.237\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1584078620.jpg\" alt=\"angrezi medium1\" width=\"628\" height=\"407\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its dedication to envisioning an Indian father as a parent with equal responsibilities comes in a lovely montage where Champak is shown to be performing duties that are often considered feminine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pen India Limited<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Instead, what <em>Angrezi Medium<\/em> is really interested in dissecting is the clash of mentalities \u2013 between a selfish younger generation and a selfless older generation. The film alludes to the ungrateful attitude of children toward their parents, the loneliness of parents \u201cabandoned\u201d by children who choose to prioritise themselves, lending the older generation a sympathetic edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s the kind of <em>Baghban<\/em> filmmaking that thrives on guilt-tripping instead of dissecting a modern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/first-person\/father-daughter-relations-arre-ho-ja-re-gender-farrah\/\">father-daughter relationship<\/a>. There\u2019s very little novelty to its \u201cIt\u2019s all about loving your single parent\u201d politics: The makers endorse an orthodox mentality that insists that parents are a child\u2019s lifetime responsibility by insinuating that kids \u201cuse\u201d their parents until they are 18. On more than one occasion, <em>Angrezi Medium<\/em> is judgemental toward Tarika for wanting to assert her own identity and in its copout of a climax, even furthers the idea that she was in fact, in the wrong. Even worse than a film saying nothing, is a film confidently vomiting outdated morals. Adajania doesn\u2019t come across as either a compelling filmmaker (the comic set-pieces are unbearably theatrical) and the film severely lacks ingenuity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This feels even more disappointing given that <em>Angrezi Medium<\/em> hits charming notes in its depiction of the bond shared by Tarika and Champak, straying away from the trope of the \u201cangry father\u201d and mainstreaming the kind of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/social-commentary\/hindi-medium-father-hindi-diwas-vernacular\/\">Indian father<\/a> whose preferred language for his daughter is concern. Its dedication to envisioning an Indian father as a parent with equal responsibilities comes in a lovely montage where Champak is shown to be performing duties that are often considered feminine. He makes tea for Tarika and her study partner, drops her to school, packs her lunchbox, massages her hair, and is emotionally upfront with her \u2013 acts of tenderness that are usually missing in Hindi cinema\u2019s depiction of Indian fatherhood.<br><blockquote class=\"quote--center\">It\u2019s the kind of Baghban filmmaking that thrives on guilt-tripping instead of dissecting a modern father-daughter relationship.<\/blockquote><br>It is a testament to an actor\u2019s calibre when he makes you almost consider the range of improbable scenarios a film throws at the audience as somewhat believable \u2013 Irrfan Khan manages that numerable times in <em>Angrezi Medium<\/em>. The actor\u2019s comic timing is impeccable and his animated face is as watchable as it was two years ago. His easy chemistry with Madan, Kapoor, and in particular Dobriyal lends the film emotional honesty and his generosity as co-actor enlivens the performances of the entire cast. But what rankles is the vulnerability and quiet sadness that Khan effortlessly brings to the role of a father who wants to do better yet is still struggling to let go of his entitlement. That the actor shot for the film while undergoing treatment for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arre.co.in\/modern-family\/cancer-world-cancer-day-india-allahabad-chemotherapy\/\">cancer<\/a>, undeniably influences the experience of warming up to it, although it has always been impossible to not warm up to any Irrfan Khan performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it stands, <em>Angrezi Medium<\/em> could very well be the actor\u2019s last film for the moment \u2013 the makers seem to be aware of that, even capitalising on it, if the film\u2019s affecting closing sequence is any indication. In an industry so fluent in feverishly greenlighting big-budget entertainers to massage the egoes of superstars on the brink of irrelevance, a film dressed as a vanity project for Irrfan Khan might not necessarily be such a bad thing. After all, if there is one Khan in the Hindi film industry who deserves the spotlight, it\u2019s him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Unlike Hindi Medium, its sequel Angrezi Medium lacks originality.
