This movie is about a father and daughter where..the daughter wants to go to London for future studies and the father is performing all the hard works to fulfill the dream of his daughter.But after the daughter is settled in London with a job...she develops a mentality that now she does not need her father..and this is very heartbreaking for the father.But later on the daughter realises her mistake and this is all the movie is about...A great piece of acting performed by The late Mr Irfan khan..who played the role of the father in the movie ..Radhika madan has also performed the role of the daughter very well .. also Kareena Kapoor Khan has performed the role of a cop in London and her relationship with her mother in the movie which role is performed by Simple Kapadia is an important factor behind how the daughter realises her mistake so it's a great movie and an another great realistic acting heartthrob by Mr Irfan Khan

This movie has a forced plot and has a lot of inconsistencies and one important message.

Let me start with the important message

1. Communication is the key: if the father had told his daughter regarding the admission and fee requirements, then the movie would have ended there and then or even later when they were ready to spend £300,000 for admission.

And now for the inconsistency

1. Movie talks about honesty and hard work, but the plot is made around purchasing a seat through donation and not hard work or honesty.

2. Doing Hawala transfer of £300,000... what was the need? Can't money obtained through legal means be wired to the university for donation purposes. Why hawala is being done?

3. How daft are the British, they don't have a translator at the airport? Hindi is widely spoken language and many people in Britain also speak hindi. If there was a translator, then not all the stupid stuff of getting a pak passport and all that was needed.

You don't need to add so twists and rollercoaster rides.

Hindi Medium was far better than this movie.

Angrezi Medium is the sequel to 2017 hit Hindi Medium which spoke about a couple trying to send their daughter to English Medium school. In the new installment, a father tries to send her daughter to England for further studies. Angrezi Medium takes us to Udaipur where Champak Bansal (Irrfan), owner of 'The First Original Ghasiteram Mishthan Bhandar' lives with his family. His daughter Tarika (Radhika Madan) has one dream - to study in a university abroad.

Written by Bhavesh Mandalia, Gaurav Shukla, Vinay Chhawal and Sara Bodinar, Angrezi Medium's first victory comes with its use of language. The film's characters speak a Rajasthani Hindi that is a pleasure to listen to, its rhythm rib-tickling to those of us unaccustomed to it. At no point is it used to caricature the characters speaking it though. I did at first wish for subtitles, but after the first half-hour, it grew on me.

Angrezi mediem is not simple. It contain love and possissive nature of indian father to his daughter. As father dont want to send his daughter abroad because he dont want to send her far away from him he tries to keep her in india but it causes misunderstanding between them.

Irrfan looks perfect in every frame. His dialogues can be felt as he is saying uh , his eyes talk to you, his smile and tears make you laugh and cry with him. Angrezi Medium makes you realize that he was missed by the audiences as much as he would have missed facing the camera. It's largely known that Irrfan shot for Angrezi Medium while he was still undergoing treatment, but not for once you can make that out while watching him onscreen.

Radhika Madan plays the role of the innocent rebel but it is a weaker performance, especially after her pitch-perfect turns in Pataakha and Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota.

Kareena Kapoor Khan makes the most of her role as Naina Kohli, a police officer, and Dimple Kapadia delivers a fine performance as her mother, Mrs. Kohli.

Pankaj Tripathi and Kiku Sharda also make us chuckle with their quirky acts and Ranvir Shorey makes his presence felt despite the small role

Finally angrezi medium was a gud flim. All the people who worked hard for making this movie has been successfull And in the end the power packed performance of allt he actor and actress made this ship sail.

Honestly I've awaited for Irrfan for quite a long time to comeback on screen. He's without a doubt one of the best actor world has ever produced. But his disease has hit him really hard which made me feel sorrow for him as well as this world. Even though he still hasn't recovered he has given us this movie only for the love of his work.

But while Hindi Medium was a classic movie having not just family story but also tackling the subject of rich poor and english as a language which is why I find it as an iconic classic(something which even the Parasite makers would've been proud to show it in their movie); It's sequel Angrezi Medium turned out to be a rather squib if we talk about logic plot and subject. This time it was only about father daughter relationship which seemed bit to dragged with several illogical plot points like how they just got deported without translators present or how Irrfan just managed to make bid of 300,000 pounds etc. The original Hindi Medium by Saket Chaudhary was actually amazingly made and I felt his writing and direction would've been better showing education as well as father daughter story well, instead we got Homi Adjania(Being Cyrus, Cocktail and Finding Fanny) becoming the captain. To be honest first half was actually hilariously funny especially scenes involving Irrfan Deepak Kiku Ranvir Radhika and their banter with each other which will make you rib tickle. This is rather surprising that Homi handled it well as it was a different film from Homi if we take a look at his previous movies this is quite true to it's Medium franchise(had second half not taken place). The real problem starts with second half when the plot gets unnecessarily dragged and with addition of Kareena and Dimple it could've been merrier rather turned bit flat. But the best scene of the second half was without an iota of doubt with Pankaj Tripathi who along with Irrfan and Deepak brought the house down.

Performances wise Irrfan is the LEGEND and here it didn't seem for a second that he was gone from acting or he forgot as he owned the film from his first shot. Radhika Madan is the future superstar for sure and mark my words she's gonna be bigger name than Sara Ananya Jhanvi etc(if nepo gang doesn't ruin her life). But the real show stellar is Deepak Dobriyal, while it's always difficult to match with Irrfan Deepak does it with complete ease and their scenes together was one major reason why I still enjoyed the entire movie. Kiku Sharda and Ranvir Shorey add perfect support required and they're quite amazing in their approach, especially Kiku whom I wish appears in more movies instead of only Kapil Sharma Show. Kareena Kapoor Khan was royally wasted in this film. I wish she'd rather have short yet powerful role instead of just a filler appearance, same goes with Dimple Kapadia who had the grace in her even at this age and here too she was wasted as a filler. Pankaj Tripathi in his single scene brings laughter onscreen. I wish he had more scenes but as we understand the plot it was satisfactory enough.

While the screenplay could've shown not just the father daughter story but also how independent lifestyle in foreign country can be well handled or staying true to it's franchise with message regarding hindi or english medium in different way could've been shown here they're rather giving message for parents not to let their kids stay alone etc which seems bit too old fashioned. Would've gone with just 5 stars but for Irrfan 2 stars extra
