Ashish Bende has a potential to become India's Guy Ritchie. The pace of this movie kept reminding me of Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels - 1998 and Snatch - 2000. From the first few frames when he mentions Hitler, in the comic tone, he had me. He maintained the pace for pretty much the entire film.

The premise is fun. A simple, not-so-special guy is telling his coming-of-age story, his first crush, etc. The not so special part works brilliantly and the movie becomes instantly relatable.

The way they handled the caste distinctions at a school level deserves a mention. It was part comedy, part slapstick and wholesome fun.
