On Father’s Day, watch these films to bask in paternal warmth

Hindi Medium: This  2017 Saket Chaudhary directorial was a good-natured critique of the irrational ambitions of parents especially when it comes to the education of their children. The voice of reason in this film belongs to Raam Batra, the eternally caring husband and father who is happy with the success of his boutique in Chandni Chowk and content with his family life. However, egged by his wife’s desire to admit their daughter to a prestigious school, he is willing to go through any amount of stress till he can no longer ignore the truth. The film starred the effortlessly brilliant Irrfan Khan with Saba Qamar, Deepak Dobriyal and Dishita Sehgal and commented on not just the warped education system but how unhealthy the obsession to keep up appearances can be. The film was produced by Dinesh Vijan and Bhushan Kumar.
