Talking about overrated Indian movies
9 March 2021
Indian movies are little bit overrated, now that is a fact! I usually enjoy Indian movies, as they have a way to make me get emotionally attached to characters. However, this one, oh boy. It didn't make me care one bit! I even find it hard to view the father as abusive or oppressive. If I steal my father's car to go to the bar and get drunk or get expelled from school, do I expect my father to give me a hug when I get back?? The kid is disrespectful, a troublemaker. He shouldn't expect anything than what is happening to him.

About Arjun, the little kid, well yeah. To get beaten like that is unacceptable. But now, he isn't the main character.

On the other hand, I don't get how is it hard to become a writer and run a factory, a family business. The boy is pretty darn good that he doesn't need to go to school to become a writer, he already is. (according to the movie).

I gave it 4 stars only because at the end there is one scene that felt somehow satisfying. (definitely not because of Rohan, maybe because of Arjun).
