The beloved son of his parents has far-reaching plans

I always thought that only China's education system would give birth to such things as parents looking for someone to go through the back door, buying a school district housing, etc. for their children to go to a good school. After watching this film, I found that parents all over the world are the same for their children. Similarly, the distribution of educational resources in the world is uneven, and there is a gap between the rich and the poor. I think the most tear-jerking part is Raj's life as a poor man, facing countless embarrassing moments when his lies are exposed, but being saved time and time again by a neighbor who even gave his life to help Raj's family. Even if the lie was finally broken and the neighbor wanted to report it, he gave up because of Pia's smile. These people treat each other sincerely, but they are not taught by the so-called "aristocratic school". This is the kindness that is still maintained in poverty, and it is a rare thing in the world of money.

This film uses education, an issue that is concerned by the world, to talk about the class gap, and finally returns to the discussion of the goodness of human nature, which is thought-provoking.

    Like the first few popular Indian films, it also has a first-class commercial production level. It satirizes the status quo of class-divided society in the shell of comedy: uneven educational resources, buying school district housing, parents queuing up for admission application forms at night, quality education, parent committee style X , worship foreigners, and the poor touch porcelain... There are dramatic contrasts before and after pretending to be poor. The hypocrisy of the elite vs the goodness and beauty of the poor. Although the Indian film is slightly exaggerated, it is always laughter and moved in the simple story

    The ending is too idealistic. Even if the protagonist is full of hope at the end, it is just a powerless episode for the principal and parents who have been brainwashed by the solidified class.
