All India Rank

All india rank is a comedy drama film directed by varun grover.

This is a sweet film. The era of 90s is beautifully captured, the production design, the art design is really good. The screenplay uses various animations to bring freshness into the narrative. The music is something I really liked, specially the background score. The teenage life is also retty genuine. But the problem is that all the things are surface level, the problems, the tension, the solutions are never really explored deep, the emotions are lacking, as a result you are just like, meh its okayish. The subplot of the vulgar PCO boy was unexplained, making no sense to me. The film is about life, how it is not at all random, but I wanted more from it.

The movie doesn't have a moral. It lacks proper plot. The ending is unsatisfactory. The overall movie seems to be mixture of old, school based movies, but with immature narrative. It shows the struggle of the students in an incomplete manner and also the struggle of parents in an incomplete manner. Varun Grover has tried to make this a nostalgic movie but has failed to do so in every possible manner. It's not a family movie, because there are a few naked women in the magazine that is shown in a close up shot. If you want to watch a better movie which will give everything this movie lacks, watch "3 idiots" again. Because this movie is a total disappointment.

Transporting us back to 1990s nostalgia, All India Rank in a simple way beautifully explores the heartfelt struggle with academics, dreams and aspirations, the personal life of students, family dynamics and most importantly the journey. Varun Grover captures the world beautifully, it's such a sincere and honest attempt from him. You could feel the vibes of love and warmth throughout, it was wholesome. Those visuals and animations were integrated in a creative manner. And the music was so cool, cannot get "Noodle Sa Dil" out of my head. The film actually struck a chord with me and I could relate with Vivek to an extent on a personal level.

I wish the film was longer as I was invested in it properly and I was craving to more of this world. And please don't compare it with 12th Fail, both are very different from each other and are good in their own ways.

The movie starts off by giving you a trip down memory lane, particularly if you were an Engg aspirant back in your days like me.

Even for people from other fields, this movie will surely bring their school college memories flashing back to them.

The story is simple and short and the movie does not attempt to force any agenda into its viewers which is a good thing, no unnecessary love plots for time waste, short and sweet movie without any proper conclusion which keeps it open for interpretation.

"Transported to the late 1990s, 'All India Rank' unfolds the saga of Vivek, a 17-year-old hailing from a serene village. Thrust into a prep school for the cutthroat IIT entrance examination, often equated to India's MIT, the film intricately explores Vivek's heartfelt struggle with academics, life's intricacies, and family dynamics. It encapsulates the essence of a young dreamer maneuvering through the hurdles of a new world, where ambitious minds unite to brace for the impending exam.

As a college guy watching this film, it struck a chord, echoing the harsh realities of the Indian education system and the weight of parental expectations. 'All India Rank' mirrors the society I'm navigating-a poignant depiction of the challenges faced by young minds in their relentless pursuit of success."
