The year 2022 has ushered in the first Indian film of the year.
"First Dream", director Nieti Tiwari, as early as 2016, offered "Wrestling! Dad" is a classic.
Looking at the poster, you will know that it is another warm work full of family elements.
However, this time, Aamir Khan is missing. Although it is also a work full of fatherly love, the father has changed from a strict father to a loving father, and the story has changed from training a wrestler to an old father saving his son.
It's a very interesting setting to think about. Sure enough, a big thing happened at the beginning. Lagav, who was highly hoped by his old father Aniruda, jumped off the building because of his failure in the college entrance examination.
It was a bolt from the blue for Aniruda and his estranged wife Maya. Worse news followed:
Raghav had lumps and contusions on his brain, and he was in urgent need of dialysis due to sepsis due to infection. What's worse, he had no desire to survive .
The trend of the plot is clear at a glance. The old father tried his best to save this precious son whose psychological quality was not good enough. A tender chicken soup masterpiece for the soul kicked off.
01
6 loser's friends
Indian comedies are mostly in the style of coexistence of humor and warmth. No matter how profound the propositions are or how difficult it is for the protagonist to open the game, there is still no shortage of jokes and human touches.
For example, "Starting Line" focuses on education issues in India and satirizes the stagnation of the education system with absurd stories, but there are many people in the film that can be entertained.
"Toilet Hero" focuses on the drawbacks caused by religious beliefs, including love, family and old-fashioned ideas.
The routine used in "The First Dream" is not new. When the father rescued his son, a friend came along, and all the old gunners recalled that period of glory and disgrace in college together.
However, it is not difficult to find out that the old father and this group of good buddies are really full of grooves.
The first to bear the brunt is the senior Guermei, who is nicknamed a lecher, and loves to be obsessed with magazines.
Sandel, nicknamed Mommy, would cry when watching romance movies. When he entered college, he couldn't even wash his underwear. His old father didn't worry about him being bullied when he sent him to school. Instead, he hoped that his classmates would bully him.
Sulfuric acid, because he was fed up with the harsh criticism from teachers from all walks of life in the school, became vitriolic and made scolding people his daily routine.
Derek, the recognized boss of the entire dormitory building, a well-built athlete, the king of losers.
An alcoholic, the drinker is the best in the entire dormitory building, and he is the one who helps these old friends improve their drinking.
And Lagaff's old father's nickname was the poor and sour ghost back then, not only was he not the successful character he always believed, but a complete loser.
As soon as he entered the university, he was thrown into the No. 4 dormitory building where the most unpromising students gathered, and he started the university time with troubled students all day long.
This was subversive enough for Raghav, but it was a rare and precious experience in his life for his father .

Games
Indian sons and daughters have a lot of ambitions, this sentence can be said to be appropriate to this group of old guys.
What poor students lack most is scorn and discrimination, and what they are most likely to forget is dignity.
The reason why sulphuric acid treats scolding people as a hobby, and the reason why alcoholics are unhappy with alcohol, is because they sink after forgetting their dignity.
It was not until Aniruda proposed to participate in the school sports meeting that everyone's fighting spirit was rekindled.
Dignity is not given by others, it is earned by oneself .
Do you want to stay in Building 4 until graduation, or do you want to go out of your way to experience the thrill of winning gold at the sports meeting?
The answer is obvious.
Don't think that alcoholics have nothing but love to drink, and that sulfuric acid is useless except for being bitter and mean, and Sandel can only be a hopeless mother. These are just their first impressions.
In fact, the drunkard's chess level is very good. The sulfuric acid can not only destroy the opponent's prestige with cheerleading slogans, but also is a good relay runner; and Sandel is best at rebounding the ball.
As the saying goes, I am born with talent and must be useful, as long as I choose the right path, I can always shine.
When they are immersed in the competitions they are good at, this particularly dazzling dedication and confidence is undoubtedly very contagious.
The shock and astonishment brought by this feeling is no less than the bridge section of the brothers in Shaolin Soccer regaining themselves.
What's more, these live treasures can show far more than that. They use off-court pressure to defeat their volleyball rivals, use diving to defeat their opponent's main force and win football games, etc.
Aniruda's salacious routines are only more sassy but not the most sassy, and it is no wonder that he can come up with such a trick that can be called bottoming out in order to save his son.

true meaning of dream
Friends + Chicken Soup for the Soul, this creative mode is a perfect fit for Nieti Tiwari.
It is true that "First Dream" is far less ideological than "Wrestling!" Dad", but that doesn't stop it from being a fun movie.
Just like its plot, 6 losers with different personalities can also rely on the sports meeting to regain their respect and self-cultivation.
The answer to the question of how to spend a college career varies from person to person, but the one constant is that as long as it is meaningful, it is not a loss.
Everyone's biggest enemy is always himself, not the opponents he meets on the road of life .
The significance of transcendence depends on the goal. Just like a sports meeting, in fact, it is not necessary to win many gold medals to be considered a success. The self-prove of the competition level itself is a kind of success.
It's not just chicken soup for the soul, it's the definition of success.
Therefore, from this perspective, "The First Dream" probably cannot become a low-profile version of so-and-so, and it is difficult to surpass those well-known masterpieces.
But it has a soul of its own, it is itself, a very pure Indian comedy film.
