Watch Angrezi Medium (2020) Hindi
A spin-off on the much-loved 2017 Hindi Medium, Angrezi Medium makes us realise right at the outset how much we missed seeing Irrfan Khan on screen.
It’s where he shines his brightest. The film was shot at time when Irrfan was bravely recovering from illness. While his health battle continues, the actor is in impeccable form, doing what he does best – effortlessly bringing his character to life on screen.
Here, he plays Champak Bansal, a single father bringing up his daughter. Taarika (Radhika Madan) is an average student, and shares an endearing bond with her dad, with has big dreams of traveling the world.
Champak soon realises that no matter how much he tries and keeps her aspirations in check because of his own fears, she is likely to leave him... but his unconditional love for the daughter eventually gets him to relent. The only problem – he unintentionally commits an act that jeopardises her scholarship to a university in London. So now, if Taarika wants to study at the university she has her heart set on, Champak would have to pay for it out of his own pocket.

There are four writers, Bhavesh Mandalia, Gaurav Shukla, Vinay Chhawall and Sara Bodinar, credited with writing the story, but sadly they end up pulling the film in four different directions.
Angrezi Medium meanders endlessly and makes many unnecessary stops along the way. Director Homi Adajania has the mammoth task of keeping us engaged for almost 145 minutes, but he succeeds only sporadically. We make many stops, sometimes in a courtroom where the family is shown fighting a case, or to follow a shady travel agent who smuggles you into foreign lands. Champak and his younger brother also befriend an angry old lady while trying to steer clear of a London cop. And it’s as frustrating as waiting for an ad to be over before we can watch a YouTube video... except the point of the story never emerges.
