Warning: Spoilers
Angrezi Medium is the sequel to 2017 hit Hindi Medium which spoke about a couple trying to send their daughter to English Medium school. In the new installment, a father tries to send her daughter to England for further studies. Angrezi Medium takes us to Udaipur where Champak Bansal (Irrfan), owner of 'The First Original Ghasiteram Mishthan Bhandar' lives with his family. His daughter Tarika (Radhika Madan) has one dream - to study in a university abroad.

Written by Bhavesh Mandalia, Gaurav Shukla, Vinay Chhawal and Sara Bodinar, Angrezi Medium's first victory comes with its use of language. The film's characters speak a Rajasthani Hindi that is a pleasure to listen to, its rhythm rib-tickling to those of us unaccustomed to it. At no point is it used to caricature the characters speaking it though. I did at first wish for subtitles, but after the first half-hour, it grew on me.

Angrezi mediem is not simple. It contain love and possissive nature of indian father to his daughter. As father dont want to send his daughter abroad because he dont want to send her far away from him he tries to keep her in india but it causes misunderstanding between them.

Irrfan looks perfect in every frame. His dialogues can be felt as he is saying uh , his eyes talk to you, his smile and tears make you laugh and cry with him. Angrezi Medium makes you realize that he was missed by the audiences as much as he would have missed facing the camera. It's largely known that Irrfan shot for Angrezi Medium while he was still undergoing treatment, but not for once you can make that out while watching him onscreen.

Radhika Madan plays the role of the innocent rebel but it is a weaker performance, especially after her pitch-perfect turns in Pataakha and Mard Ko Dard Nahi Hota.

Kareena Kapoor Khan makes the most of her role as Naina Kohli, a police officer, and Dimple Kapadia delivers a fine performance as her mother, Mrs. Kohli.

Pankaj Tripathi and Kiku Sharda also make us chuckle with their quirky acts and Ranvir Shorey makes his presence felt despite the small role

Finally angrezi medium was a gud flim. All the people who worked hard for making this movie has been successfull And in the end the power packed performance of allt he actor and actress made this ship sail.
