reduced to a commercial hub. The story touches upon the grave situation where these alleged education centers are minting money from the parents claiming to give quality education to their children.Paathshaala showcases Shahid Kapoor as an ideal school teacher named Rahul Prakash Udyavar paired opposite another teacher played by Ayesha Takia. Nana Patekar will be seen playing the strong role of a principal in a school named 'Saraswati Vidya Mandir'.
Paathshaala portrays the obligatory monetary compulsions levied by the management of 'Saraswati Vidya Mandir' school on the parents of the students studying in the school. With Saraswati Vidya Mandir as an example the film presses upon the flawed education system followed by the Indian society. The film in the offset dwells upon the mounting academic pressure on the students, the mindset of parents as well as that of the students about the entire education process. The story is upfront on the issue of commercialization of the education system in the contemporary India.
The film Paathshaala draws attention due to the topicality and emotional quotient which calls for a public questioning of the credibility of the prevailing education system in Indian society.
Loose scripting and unplanned screenplay in Paathshaala takes a back seat as the film is successful in posing a question in the viewers mind on the issue of commercialization of education.
So, go to this Paathshaala only if you are ready for some serious thinking.
