Paathshala

Synopsis : Shahid Kapoor joins Saraswati Vidya Mandir, an old school on the threshold of change, as the English teacher. He soon realises not all the changes are going to benefit the students, even as Principal Nana Patekar fights a losing battle with the profit-obsessed mmanagement. Time for revolution....

Movie Review: The film is low key, restrained and often too laid back. Yet it works because it is intensely topical and has an uncluttered charm to it. Set in the precincts of an old world school, it traces the battle of a handful of sincere and committed teachers and students against a newage management that wants to transform the centre of education into a commercial venture. Needless to say, the malaise within Saraswati Vidya Mandir is symptomatic of the disturbing trend which seems to have overtaken our real-life schooling system too. One where an increasing number of private schools are yelling `show me the money' to a growing band of concerned parents. Again, can't blame them entirely, can we? Blame the competition....
