2018
5/5 stars
Naina (Rani Mukerji) has Tourette Syndrome, and the dream to become a teacher. After repeatedly being turned down for teaching positions over the course of 5 years--all due to her Tourette Syndrome--she is hired to fill an urgently needed post. Her class is made up of resistant, uncooperative underprivileged students, determined to drive her out. Naina must find a way to teach them not only academics, but self-respect as well.
The feel-good plot is somewhat predictable, but that doesn't lessen the power of the film. The issue of Tourette Syndrome is treated with respect. The acting is superb, with Mukerji giving an incredible performance. The students were also amazingly good. Unlike typical Bollywood movies, there is little music, and no choreography, but the film doesn't suffer as a result. The acting makes this an exceptional film, and with it's positive message, it's a winner.
This movie is available through Amazon Prime.
