Admissions Open Movie Reviews

Now this film did have a noble idea. But alas! Why had it to be so ignobly done. While the first half does manage to raise a few pertinent questions on higher education and parental pressure, the second half goes completely cuckoo with a bunch of crazy characters aimlessly going around under the ruse of running a college of the youth, by the youth, for the youth. Ekdum weird! It's the usual I-wannabe-a-rock-star

3 Idiots has certainly inspired a lot of critique on the country's education system. While this aspect was just a part of the blockbuster, Admission Open is a movie totally dedicated to the flawed education system in our country. And even though, we may want to praise the makers for their intent, the fact that Admission Open as a film is completely full of flaws cannot be ignored. A set of four mediocre students who can't get admission anywhere

First 3 IDIOTS. Then PAATHSHAALA. Now ADMISSIONS OPEN, which, like the above-mentioned films, takes a look at the present-day education system. The thought behind ADMISSIONS OPEN is very topical - let the youth pursue their vocation/ambitions/dreams - but director K.D. Satyam makes a complete mishmash of a terrific idea and you can't help but feel sorry for those who might stroll into the cineplex to look for answers.

It is understandable that not everyone is required to know about Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics or Biology. There is certainly a world beyond that but then how generic is that world where bhaigiri or the art of seduction rules? Frankly, does one actually have to 'enrol' into such classes? And if this storyline was created to invoke humour then well, the entire purpose of making 'ADMISSIONS OPEN' is totally lost.
