Vestibular para a Vida

It is a good movie. A fresh breath of air, something different. You would think that it is a movie like 3 idiots or 12th fail, but it is not! It shows the struggles of a boy who is phasing into adulthood and trying to fulfill his parent's dream (for him). But the story explores so many thematics - friendship, dreams and realities, parent, studies, competition, betrayal, love - in a simple narrative. The story captures you in a loop of nostalgia and has glimpse of every emotions, from laughing to being sad. Overall, it is a well made movie where at the end it leaves you with an important lesson in life.

PS I like this actor. I have seen him in Patal Lok as well. He's one to watch for in the future!

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.

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.

"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."

All India Rank by Varun sir, is indeed a beautiful movie which talks about the struggles of preparing for the toughest competition in the world. Sattva sharma did a beautiful job in portraying the apt emotions on the screen and I feel, this story cannot be said better than this. It was a short and crisp movie and as you crave for every good thing to last longer, you will crave for a bit more story from this movie but the writer and director was very sure of what they wanted to show.

The song lyrics are amazing, and will stay in your heart for a while.

The end itself will make you different things and emotions within you and that is the beauty of art, the way you perceive it.

Please do go to see this movie, it is made with so much of love and thoughtfulness and it will stay, even when it ends.

You have always been one of my favorite writers, Varun sir and now, maybe favorite director too. Must watch, recommended.
