Hichki - 10/10 . Must Watch.

I went to the movie theater after going through multiple mixed reviews from the so-called movie critics. For those who have seen the trailer, this will be nothing new Plot: The main protagonist Naina Mathur has Tourette's syndrome who desperately wants to be a teacher. Even after multiple rejections, her decision to take up teaching as a profession remains firm. Finally, she gets offered, a job @ St.Nautkers but her class of 14 is full of rebels. We get glimpses of her childhood, as to how irritating it must have been to have been misunderstood and made fun of. She even shares an estranged relationship with her father. So basically, how she deals with all these hichkis is the story all about.

Its a very simple plot of underdog meets underdogs and how they excel, but to make such a predictable plot interesting and watchable is where lies the craft of cinema. The direction, screenplay, cinematography, casting all in all was top notch. From the word go the movie started connecting. Everything was expressed in a subtle way. Nothing was over the top. There were many tear-jerking moments in the movie. There was never a dull moment. Every single character was bang on.

Coming to performance, the 14 slum students(especially Aatish) were so good at their respective roles. Niraj Kabi as the other teacher was top notch, his transition in body language and dialogue delivery towards the end spoke leaps and bounds about how seasoned an actor he was. Sachin and Supriya as Naina's parents were apt. For obvious reasons, the belongs to Rani Mukerji. Rani as Naina Mathur is brilliant. She has given an outstanding performance which will guide many upcoming actors.No words to express my thoughts about how good an actor she is.

As a die-hard Rani fan, I was nervous. I was just happy seeing her after 4 long years on the silver screen. Had no big expectation from the movie. But oh boy was I taken aback. The movie was something else. It was class apart.It was just awesome. It had the right pinch of ingredients.The main thing about the movie is that there is nothing forced, The music is not loud to drive you emotionally. You are at your own free will. It doesn't try to influence you. The teacher-student relationship has been portrayed so well. A student will be fortunate to have a Naina Mathur teach them. Everything was intact. You will start reminiscing. It for sure will be a nostalgic experience for many. For the 1st time in my life, I clapped once the movie got over. That was the impact it had on me.

One piece of advice to all the people out here, please comment after watching a movie. Don't mislead people with your prejudice. This movie deserves to be a hit. Only then more of such will be made. All we get to see is stupid masala flicks crossing 100 crores with ease. But movies like Hichki in spite of having a very strong content end up doing an average business, one main reason, without doubt, it has a female protagonist. Come on guys times are changing. Appreciate movie's content. Every teacher/student/parent should watch the movie. Hoping for the movie to do good business. All the best to the team of Hichki.

SLB has done it once again. I seriously wonder how he manages to create a movie of epic proportions, that too time and again. I feel so bad for the people who call themselves 'Rajput' protesting against the movie as they fail to notice the fact that the movie is hailing their valour and pride but they themselves are not willing to witness the sheer beauty of art called 'Padmavat'. There is no better way to exemplify the beauty, courage and morale of the Rajputs. The movie stands tall with a gargantuan finesse which will be unparalleled for years to come. As always SLB proves he can never go wrong in showcasing opulence at its best. I have no words to describe the beauty of the movie. Every inch of the frame was a visual spectacle. The jewels, ornaments, the weaponry, the clothes, everything was just so alluring that you can't bat an eyelid. The story was something that needs to be told and kudos to SLB for doing the same and letting us know the eminence of Rajputs.

I do not want to comment on the performances as each and every single actor lived the character. You see Deepika as Padmavati, Shahid as 'Maharawal Ratan Singh' and Ranveer most definitely as 'Sultan Alauddin Khilji' and not as themselves. The supporting actors also did a fabulous job leaving no stones unturned.

The bgm of Padmavati is so very haunting and it has a huge impact.

The emotions were so intact that it manages to hit you hard. The climax was prodigious to the extent that tears welled up and that impact was intact even after the movie was over and my voice started breaking when I tried to utter anything.

Felt so happy that after a long time I went to a theatre and it was for 'Padmavati'.

It is a must watch.

I have to ask this question to every single soul which was in some way related to the movie. I'm not sure what it conveyed or what they wanted to convey. I started feeling irritated as the movie progressed. That irritation kept increasing as it went on. But out of some damn hope that it will get better, I kept watching it but it never ever made me feel good till the very end. Felt very very bad for Jennifer's character throughout the movie. I read some calling it an artistic master piece. I fail to understand from which angle that is so. Definitely not a movie that I would recommend to anybody.
