Film Review: Krantijyoti Vidyalay Marathi Madhyam
Krantijyoti Vidyalay Marathi Madhyam is a movie by Hemant Dhome that comes out in 2026.
It's about a group of old friends who come back to their hometown in Alibaug to save their old Marathi-medium school from being replaced by an English-medium one.
The school is run by their beloved teacher, Dinkar Shirke, played by Sachin Khedekar.
The friends remember their old times and try to stop a developer from taking over the school.
The movie talks about how important it is to keep the Marathi language alive and how schools play a big role in this.
Even though the movie has some funny and heartwarming moments, it also has some parts that feel like a lecture about saving the language.
The movie is long and sometimes feels messy, but the actors do a good job.
The main message is that everyone should support Marathi-medium schools to keep the language and culture strong.
The film is set in Nagaon, Alibaug, where a Marathi-medium school is under threat of being replaced by an English-medium one.
The story follows a group of former students who return to save their beloved school and the Marathi language.
The film highlights the decline of Marathi-medium schools and the importance of preserving the Marathi language.
Despite its worthy message, the film is criticized for being too simplistic and not addressing the real issues faced by Marathi-medium schools.
The performances by the cast, including Sachin Khedekar and Amey Wagh, are praised, but the film's long runtime and lack of focus are noted as drawbacks.
