Pareeksha is a Hindi movie released in 2019, it is an attempt by Prakash Jha to emphasize the connection between the right kind of education and the climb in social status. It also goes on to show the class divide in availability of education.
Prakash Jha’s latest movie Pareeksha the final test shows how the dreams turn real but with a realistic approach. Pareeksha has Adil Hussain, Priyanka Bose, Shubham and Sanjay Suri playing lead characters.
In Pareeksha, being streamed on Zee5, Buchi (Adil Hussain) is an underprivileged working for the privileged of Ranchi town, he is a rikshaw puller who ferries children of the prestigious Sapphire International school which is a prestigious school in town.
Buchi and his wife (Priyanka) work to make both ends meet and bring up their brilliant child Bulbul ( Shubham). Even though an illiterate Buchi thinks that if he gets his son admitted to Sapphire International, he will be a star among the best in town, He collects money for Bulbul’s admission using all means right and wrong, but realizes that money is not the only hurdle. The big issue of his social status is overcome during admission process by the help of a kind Principal.
In the school Bulbul is ridiculed by students for being the son of a Rikshaw puller and even teacher for not knowing English, but a time comes when he outshines other students in other subject like physics, and other students request Bulbul to take tutions for them. The entry of Sanjay Suri‘s character in Pareeksha takes the story to another track. Buchi gets punished for his wrongs but without affecting Bulbul’s education.
All actors have performed well in the movie Pareeksha , I think we will have to give credit to the director, Prakash Jha for the same. Other supporting characters are played by theater actors from Ranchi and they are good.
