Rating: ***

This is a film playing on a conflict with fairly low stakes, if you ask me. And that only makes sense, considering it’s about a bunch of teenagers at school. 
In hindsight, whatever happens during this time, to do with academic education in particular, more often than not, has such low bearing on the rest of your life, that one wonders why we fretted over small things like cracking an annual school exam anyway. As if our existence depended on it. 

It does for a couple of rich kids in this film—at a school so fancy that it doesn’t even have a school bus. This phenomenon came into the Indian education system only a decade or two ago, I suspect. Which explains school fees so high that it should actively discourage you from having kids in the first place.
