The Miseducation of Bindu

I usually enjoy high-school teen comedies but The MisEducation of Bindu, for me, felt like a sore miss. It has all the ingredients of a teen comedy drama but somewhere something is off. Whether it is the unfitting Indian touch or the poor performances by the leading lady (it felt like she was auditioning for the role while the camera was rolling) or the high level of awkwardness even by teenage standards, I'm not sure. I also don't think I laughed during the 90 minutes because some of the sequences are massively cringeworthy and really not needed in my opinion. All in all, The MisEducation of Bindu tries hard but does not pass muster. Grade D.

(Reviewed during its Australian premiere at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM).)

What was really this film about, bullying or parental neglect? Or was it just money. For a grumpy old man this was far too slow,underestimating the audience, it has some make-up issue comedy and the acting isnt completely of the target.but the plot and its speed was.

Wanna see some good western/indian comedy, see peter sellers in ''the party''

Granted, this is not a showstopper. It's been done plenty of times.

But I actually liked it. Entertaining. The lead actress Megan was a real pleasure to watch in action. Funny movie even.

I watched it and surprised I thought it was good.

Don't know if girls have these many problems in school. I would guess her problems at home and at school mix and gets confusing.

Saw the movie twice so to me that means it is good.

I was surprised in parts of the movie.

Megan Suri did a very good job as a high school girl.

Don't know what came 1st, this movie or the Netflix show 'Never Have I Ever'. But I like them both.

I wonder how much better the Netflix show would have been if Megan was the star instead of just one of the extras in it.

It is nice to see girls with the problems the boys face in school in movies.

The actress Megan Suri was 20/21 (not 38) when she made this movie playing a presumably 17/18 year old. Another reviewer is either a troll or has obvious racist tendencies, or both. And if you know kids in public high schools, you'd know that the bathrooms are a popular social gathering place, where exclusively "girl talk" or "boy talk" can take place. The movie plot, while not original, had some interesting points about navigating the awkward and often non-sensical" social rules of high school. And there were some comical moments and true to life, though exaggerated, situations and characters. Worth the watch.
