In terms of screenwriting skills, "Hindi Medium" spends too much space to express the urgency of the Raj couple's constant sacrifice for further education, but does not pay attention to the interaction between parents and children, and the shaping of the personality of daughter Pia. Almost zero, which is really a pity. The film's concealment of the caste system 's criticism has made the second half of the film almost a social allegory about the gap between the rich and the poor. narrative. The relationship between the Raj family and the neighbors and the interaction scenes are quite a bit of laughter and tears, but they all stop there. Just like the drama of Raj's identity being revealed at the end, it is full of many misunderstandings that make people misunderstood. Relationships always stay on the surface and cannot go deep. This is where "Hindi Medium" is embarrassing. On the one hand, the film constructs an anticipatory situation that can't wait to elevate "Hindi Medium", and on the other hand, it tries to show the bad mentality of the characters in the film by pretending to be a farce , as well as the shady and various problems of the school or the education system itself. The former is straight to the point and runs through the beginning and end, while the latter is just like the impatience that the film wants to reveal

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.
