the film is Based on the life of Patna-based mathematician  Anand Kumar who provides free education to poor students for higher studies and colleges, the film showcases his story to reach and open this famed programme called super 30 as it selects only 30 student and has high success rate.

as a failed product of the coaching system, i have my own biases towards the system yet it importance cant be understated. as a country that justifies any success to the mark obtained in an exam, coaching institutes were bound to become a business and with anything that turns into one the core thing they chase is money. the film showcases the corruptive nature of this chase than it will never be enough and realising this and fighting against it harder still.

i cant speak for the accuracy of the film like any film dramatisation is common yet the mans struggle to go against the establishment with his own belief is well portrayed.

the films main driving are its core actors Hrithik Roshan who puts fort one of his best performance not at par to Guzaarish (2010) but it still showcases his range. Aditya Srivastav as the coaching centre owner is the prime antagonist. Pankaj Tripathi as the education minister that makes you laugh and anger by his antics. with the supporting cast pulling their respective weights.

the biggest demerit to this film was its latter half tone as the film turns into a mini action film for a film about fight against the education system this sequence is not only jarring but also breaks the illusion of realism the film portrays till then. these choices to make this film a masala film kinda undermines the film narrative to break the mold.

the film had its share of controversies upon its release still its a well made movie worth the watch excluding its weak aspects. a solid weekday movie.
