Hindi Medium is not just a film it's a reality check, a deep and piercing reflection of the class divides and linguistic obsession that continue to define the Indian educational system and society at large. Even though it was released in 2017, watching it in 2025 feels just as relevant, if not more painful, because nothing has really changed. The film masterfully captures the irony of a country where people take pride in their ancient heritage and diverse languages, yet judge intelligence and social worth based on fluency in English. It's heartbreaking, but true, English remains a passport to privilege, while their own mother tongues are treated like signs of backwardness. Hindi Medium calls this out with grace, humor, and an emotional core that doesn’t let go. Irrfan Khan’s performance is nothing short of brilliance. He embodies the common man, caught in a web of societal pressure, doing everything for his child’s future. The satire is sharp but never cruel, and the emotional beats hit hard without being melodramatic. "The film holds up a mirror, asking us: why are we ashamed of our roots? Why is the language of our heart not good enough for success?" And yet, films like Hindi Medium often get overshadowed by loud, superficial movies packed with empty romance, over-the-top action, or cringeworthy dialogue. Mediocre content with star power or flashy marketing gets more screens, more hype, and more box office success, while meaningful cinema struggles for attention. It’s a sad commentary on both the industry and the audience. But Hindi Medium deserves to be remembered, not just as a film, but as a voice. A voice that dares to speak for millions of parents, children, and dreamers who are stuck between tradition and a flawed definition of modernity. In 2025, if a film still stirs our conscience this deeply, it’s not outdated it’s timeless.

Mizu, the protagonist in Blue Eye Samurai, wouldn't technically be considered a ronin or a samurai in the strictest sense. She can be better described as a wandering swordswoman or blacksmith. Samurai were the warrior class of feudal Japan. They were bound by a strict code of honour and loyalty to their daimyo (master). Ronin were samurai who had lost their master or lord through death, defeat, or abandonment. They became wandering warriors, often seeking revenge or employment. The series has several unrealistic elements that detract from the overall experience. Some characters' faces remain identical even after their death, which feels implausible. The Fowler Army's unopposed approach to the Shogun's castle, without any cannon protection, strains credibility. Mizu's exceptional warrior skills are also unexplained, as it's unlikely her blind blacksmith mentor could have trained her to such a high level. In the final episode, it's particularly unbelievable that the Shogun would trust Taigen, a stranger to protect him by his side who attempts to warn the Shogun about the Fowler Army by shooting an arrow implausible everyone initially thought was an assassin. The rapid fire spread caused by a single candle adds to the unrealistic portrayal. Overall, many scenes in this series lack realism, making it difficult to stay engaged. Despite its title, this series is similar to other Hollywood movies and series that either romanticise Japanese culture or spread propaganda, much like the post-WWII era. However, aside from this aspect, the plot and other elements of the series were well-executed. This type of weeaboo in Hollywood is so overrated.

This film is made with deception & propaganda. The portrayal of Chinese characters as thieves who come and steal potatoes from Japanese camps, how ridiculous and fake! The protagonist’s maid also starts to steal his furniture which can be somewhat true but the maid slaps the protagonist for no reason. The scene where the protagonist pauses on the road and the Japanese soldier on a motorcycle also stops, allowing the protagonist boy to walk away first, wow what an act of kindness isn’t it? The depiction of the Japanese treatment of American prisoners as humane and the friendship between a child and a Japanese teenage soldier at the end of the movie has been viewed as a compassionate portrayal of a deeply troubling period in history, minimising the atrocities committed by the Japanese military during World War II. Hollywood consistently depicts the Nazis as inhumane monsters, yet often fails to accurately portray the true extent of Japanese atrocities during World War II and the cruelty they inflicted upon their victims.

This movie could be way better but they messed with the plot and made it too fake and copied some scenes from Hollywood and other countries.

I didn't like the american propaganda in here and other than that all good

This movie is completely unimpressive a hammy-acting wannabe movie and it's very fake! He could just grow a real moustache and hair instead of putting fake hair, the jail guard can easily notice the artificiality while searching him. Also, characters including that woman lacked manners. It is like those Indian serials where people constantly shouting and being rude. Don't fall for the hype, and those who enjoy this movie undoubtedly lack any taste.

This series started off as a fun watch, but it became boring after episode 5. The excessive use of parody-style comedy, like the portrayal of an Arab prince speaking Korean and behaving unlike a prince 👳🏽, detracted from the enjoyment. Moreover, the series depicted the differences between high society and the middle class in terms of food, which was not entirely accurate. For example, it portrayed live-fire cooking as something only for the middle class, while characters like Goo Won, who belong to the elite class, had never seen to it before. Their hairstyle never changed which is annoying! Goo Won's desire to take over the hotel raises concerns, as he is extravagant and lacks financial prudence. He is known for spending lavishly without knowing how to save money 🤦‍♂️. If he were to gain control of the hotel, it would have likely gone bankrupt long ago. With new episodes releasing every week, the character of Goo Won has become annoying, focusing more on chasing girls and indulging in extravagant behaviour.

Aside from atheist/satanist content, episode 3 was emotional and it could improve by cutting out some inappropriate scenes. The LGBTQ community is always desperate to add those for their own identity. The emotional connection between the spoiled kid Ellie and Joel Miller was not strong. This brat (Ellie) constant use of offensive language towards Joel didn't help to establish a strong emotional connection between the two characters and her storyline was boring+annoying. At the end of the episode Despite the pivotal moment at the end of the episode where Joel saved Ellie from the Fireflies who were trying to create a cure for humanity, it didn't evoke much emotional response from the audience. The actress who portrayed Ellie would have been better suited for a villain zombie movie. Despite these flaws, the series is still worth watching👎. I would recommend Pedro Pascal stick to the Mandalorian series.

Biased with some propaganda in it.
