Baal Bhaarti (2022)
The film revolves around Rahul Desai (Siddharth Ramchandra Jadhav) who lives with wife Sunita (Nandita Patkar), son Chinmay (Aaryan Menghji) and mother (Usha Naik) in Kolhapur. Both, Rahul and Sunita, struggle to speak in English. Their son, Chinmay, also studies in a Marathi medium school and hence talking in English is too problematic for him too. When destiny propels Rahul to get Chinmay admitted to an English medium school, unfortunately for him, his life becomes hell when he starts attending the new school as he can't keep up with his English-speaking classmates. When Chinmay has to present his project at a science competition, he falters in English and the judge asks him to speak in Marathi. Chinmay wins the competition and convinced that his old school is not bad, he re-joins his Marathi medium school.

As Good As It Gets
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
