Movie review: School Days
A school film usually has the same ingredients. A bunch of school kids,some good,some bad,the rest indifferent. A bunch of teachers,ditto. And situations which lead to flashpoints and resolutions.
Cast: Pankaj Sharma,Rajiv Sethi
Director: Dilip Sood
A school film usually has the same ingredients. A bunch of school kids,some good,some bad,the rest indifferent. A bunch of teachers,ditto. And situations which lead to flashpoints and resolutions.
School Days has all of this,and tries to create drama by positioning a trio of bad boys vs a group of good uns. The face-off between sunny Sooraj and the embittered Dilip,is mediated by enlightened sports teacher (Dilip Sood),who believes that it is not just marks which maketh a young man.
Full marks for nobility of purpose,and for creating some moments which seem true to life (the film was shot in a couple of Delhi schools). But,the score sheet for crisp story-telling is not so impressive. School Days is too long,and too lacklustre.
