Pareeksha - The Final Test 

Together with others taking jibes in the child due to his household's socioeconomic status, and invoices raking up, just how much will Buchi head to realise the dreams he's seen for his son or daughter?

Due to the character of his job, Buchi frequents the faculty and one day, musters the courage to ask the police if his son would move out of his administration college in the slums into the'elite person' because he needs Bulbul to make something of himself. However, the mom -Radhika Rane (Priyanka Bose) - operates in a steel mill and Buchi's own income is meagre. To what lengths is the decided dad keen to go to make sure his son receives what he did not -- a suitable schooling.

Undoubtedly, the screenplay has noble aim in its heart but merely manages to touch upon the periphery of this topic of the Indian schooling system and its own shortcomings -- a problem that demanded a comprehensive tackling. Additionally, the subplot of all state-funded schools versus private colleges as well as the mind-set a pupil can only excel at a private establishment is a bit of a frequent trope now. The plotline rambles a little from the first half and also derails entirely at the second. There are a number of areas of the social commentary that do not make sense; many celebrities distribute unconvincing accents and their pristine, posh costumes do not help with all the authenticity of the play .

Even though the film boasts of a leading cast, Adil Hussain as Buchi shockingly crumbles under the strain of the lacklustre script. Priyanka Bose isn't her standard polished self inside and also the only two personable celebrities are Sanjay Suri because the generous Superintendent of Police Kailash Anand and Shubham Jha since the bookworm, genius-in-the-making Bulbul.

'Pareeksha -- The last Evaluation' also toys with the politics of schooling but leaves it hanging out. Contrary to his past outings on societal problems, Prakash Jha's most up-to-date offering appears to be a desperate effort to evoke compassion for the marginalised part of the society. However, what it does wind up doing is create 1 wonder why a filmmaker of his stature could cook a hurried social play without a layers -- in the narrative nor in its own characters.
