Rough Book

Story is inspiring ! Acting is not well. So, their is a great massage to youth.

The story was promising at first, telling people that education in not about marks, but the movie itself showed that it is about marks. The teacher who got the class of below average kids to teach, taught them not theoretically but practically and became their favorite and got suspended. But when her students got average marks she was sad. And the same students when cracked IIt entrance she was happy and at the end movie showed that Geniuses from IITs are changing the world, and I was like What?, where is the knowledge now, there are many people from other colleges who are doing great than them. The movie gave mixed messages. And they didn't think about other students of the class other than a group of friends. The mighty teacher didn't like them? Some of the things said were worth it but the movie irritated me at the end because it showed that IIt is the end of the world.

"Neither the development of a grading system nor the subsequent revisions of that system were done for the benefit of student learning per se; historically, grades have existed primarily for institutions." - Schinske and Tanner Good grades reflect one's ability to perform well not learn well. Academic performance reflect commitment, hard work and organizational skills not necessarily intelligence. Often traditional and myopic mindsets confuse performance in exams with intelligence. They are two discreet dimensions with no proportionality to each other. Our education systems, parents and students themselves focus on extrinsic motivation rather than intrinsic. This movie gives an once-over to the current traditional education system of modern india. It is not an avant- grade plot and has some unnecessary elements.. could have been more scrupulous.. Not a commercial ensemble.. Average performances.. However, an eye-opener, thought provoking plot... still a good watch..
