All India Rank Movie REVIEW | Sucharita Tyagi | Varun Grover

All India Rank is simply a heartfelt, almost pained look back at Varun Grover’s own formative years.

All India Rank Review by Sucharita Tyagi - The film’s triumph lies in the acutely observed small things that make up this world. When a parent says “FD tudwa rahe hain”, how that simple statement can sound so harsh and apocalyptic. When a student lies on their bed, simply looking up at the ceiling fan, how bleak and dark one intrusive thought in that moment can be, when and how we learn to lie about romantic relationships, diminishing them in front of our parents, and embellishing in front of friends. The ambience is so unhurried, almost gelatinous, when I looked around after the watching the film, and saw goras around me IRL, mujhey yaad aaya ki main actually India mein nahi hoon, movie itni realistic banaayi hai.

The songs help the screenplay immensely, all written by Grover himself. We also spoke about the ridiculously catchy Noodle Sa Dil, again who interview sun lena. Nearly all lyrics are laden with middle class ki upar uthne ki aspirations, “noodles’ are such a treat, songs are being written about it. “acchi baatein hain kitaabon mein”, kyunki salvation ka tareeka yehi sikhaya gaya hai, even when graffiti on walla screams, “fuck IIT”. We are literally ignoring the writing on the wall, kyunki delulu was the only solulu.
