The movie is good AND bad and here’s how!! The movie is full of subtle propaganda: 1. Brahmins are shown in a bad light for no reason. Frauds are frauds, there’s no caste element to it. Even the protagonist is a Dalit himself, but his fraud is shown more as misery. The scientist was committing fraud so that his funds continue, the Dalit father so that his academically slow kid keeps getting scholarships. 2. Netflix’ bias against Google is evident, even the search engine they use in the movie is Wikipedia 3. Obama follows the child on Insta and its a reason for celebrating, but Trump is demeaned for apparently ‘dying his hair orange’. 4. There’s nothing wrong in getting admissions on the basis of merit. It was wrong that the movie shows that in a bad light. I understand that opportunities should be provided to weaker sections, but I would prefer that those who are economically backward to first get these opportunities and on case by case study. Some good points: 1. Conversion of poor Dalits by Christains is something which is depicted truly and happens across Mumbai and India. The vulturism is quite evident in the scene when the principal tries wooing the Dalit father for conversion with offers for scholarship. 2. Loved the comparison of exploitation of kids at the ‘Wonder Kid’ challenge where a body builder kid, a fashion model kid, a singer dancer kid, etc were competing. I think the father backed out because of the guilt he felt due to doing the same thing in a different version. 3. Loved how when the journalist was speaking of ‘microbes causing deadly diseases’ they showed the dingy toilets and lack of sanitation in the BDD colonies of Mumbai where people live in congested & packed conditions. 4. The politician angle is also very true, nowadays politicians do not leave any chance to bank on Dalit propaganda to straighten their politics. 5. The kid trying too hard to memorize the speech and how it impacts his psyche. When he bangs his head, weeps, repeatedly murmurs gibberish, wets his pants, starts sleep walking. This was such a sentimental moment, it brought back all those moments in a students’ life when they’re forced to perform more or secure better grades than what they can. Lovely, hats off!
