Rough Book is a hard look at the education system in contemporary India. Though one of the finest systems in the world, the lacunae in the system have created issues. The story is told to us through the eyes of a teacher, Santoshi Kumari, who rallies through a divorce with a corrupt income tax officer to become a teacher of Physics in a school. Her pupils are in the D division - 'D' sarcastically referred to as Duffers by both the students and other teachers. How Santoshi rebels against the system to fight for her students, forms the bulk of the simply told, yet completely thought provoking film. The rebellion of the teacher and her students are internalised to make their point.

| The Times of IndiaMohar BasuEven as you lose your heart to Rough Book's intention, you can't buy the amateurish story. |
| User ReviewMayank AHidden Gem. I loved it, the plot is that of an idealistic teacher trying to make a difference in the lives of spoiled kids, its an age-old story just in a new package. I loved the way they used a minimalist approach in the filming, very little dialogues are used and there are no wasted scenes, every frame had a meaning behind it. The only problem is by the end, the storytelling seemed a mixture of unrefined or one could say unrealistic approach, the vision is too utopian to ever work, still the romantic in me can't help but like it. PS: The movie ends with a message about SOS Children's Villages, so I did look them up, as of 2017, over 85,000 children and youths are raised in their centers. |
