Attempts to shrink back and forth have created works that are too high or too low.

Two points for the beautiful actress. The so-called "new film" of India is eager to show a little change and new thinking, but such traces are so heavy that they are listed almost didactically in some lines. In the plot, the screenwriter seems to have designed a very violent moral contradiction, but has no ability to round it up. There are too many loopholes in the plot, which makes the story seem absurd. The end is routinely provocative, but even if it is an Indian movie, the provocative ending is in the wrong place, confessing his fault to a group of high-level social officials who came to see the children's performances and entered the school through normal means, and criticized those who cheated the places just like him. Man, what's the reason for that? Whose empathy is being sought, whose generosity is it? The film shows the solidification of class in India, and it does not stop there. When digging for ideas, it seems that I always dare not do my best, but only detect a rough and acceptable range. I can't agree with the male protagonist's behavior of making his daughter responsible for his own mistakes. To put it in a more vulgar way, his last speech was just to show his desire to survive. In order to make his conscience fair, he inexplicably brought in impoverished students from public schools, used them as gunmen to excuse himself, and said something that only he and his wife could understand, saying, "Although they steal things, they also shine." Is this the case? Isn't it funnier than him dancing at a banquet? Class solidification, yes. The education system is extremely poor, yes. Is that enough to make it a god movie?
