About this movie

Appu is a class 10th student and is giving up on studies, because she knows her mother will not be able to provide for her higher studies. Her mother tries hard and even enrolled her for maths tuition but Appu thinks only children of rich parents become doctors or engineers and believes she'll end up being a maid too like her mother. But one day her mother gets a chance to continue her Education.

Ratings and reviews

A great movie! Very creatively made. It touches on some key themes - importance of following your dreams, motherhood, educating a girl, and persistence against all odds. I loved the way the message was delivered - Dreams are worth following, even if you are in a challenged state. The plot culminates into the girl 'Apeksha' getting interviewed for IAS. The interviewer asks her why she chose this vocation. According to me instead of just saying 'kyuki mai baai nai banna chahti' doesnt really do justice to all the challenges faces by the protagonist in the movie. She could have given a better answer. It could be about how her mother inspired her to dream and follow them. To live a life without limits. Her answer seems to portray that those who do not want to become a maid opt for IAS or viceversa , and that is not the case. Barring this last crucial climax scene, the movie shares a good message.

It was okay not as great as people say I've seen better and more inspiring movies though I didn't like it a lot specially I quite didn't get the the words of the movie whatever I don't understand Hindi not even the tittle of the movie. POOP and only POOP

This is a must watch for everyone, no matter what phase of life they're going through. I could very much relate it to my life and I'm sure anyone who watches the film will be able to find a part of his life bring portrayed by one or more of the actors. It's absolutely a well thought, well executed and emotionally touching movie. Cheers to the entire team for making such a feel good and morally sound movie.
