Aayushmati Geeta Matric Pass Review: We've all heard the slogan 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao’ (Save the Daughter, Educate the Daughter), and it's commonly seen in many places. However, there are still numerous areas where the question arises—why should daughters be educated, and how? 'Aayushmati Geeta Matric Pass' takes that slogan a step further, showing that education is not only essential for daughters but also for mothers, sisters-in-law, aunts, and all women. It highlights an important issue and presents its message in a straightforward, relatable manner. Director Pradip Khairwar has crafted this story effectively, despite the small budget.
Aayushmati Geeta Matric Pass plot
The story revolves around Geeta, a young woman from Banaras. Her mother's dream is for Geeta to pass her matriculation exams. However, on the day of her results, a marriage proposal comes for her, and she ends up failing her exams. Geeta's father rejects the proposal, but the boy and girl are fond of each other since they’ve met before. Soon, circumstances force Geeta to leave her village, and the pressure to marry grows. But Geeta is determined—she won't marry until she passes her matriculation. What happens next is something you'll have to discover in the theatre. Films like this deserve support, as they encourage the creation of meaningful cinema.
How is the film?
The issue this film raises is both significant and relevant. It opens with an engaging sequence and moves forward at a steady pace, explaining why education is vital for women. The film has been effectively written by Navnitesh Singh. The film also exposes some of the scams in the education system, making you realise why the 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao' movement is still so important. While the film’s budget and production value may be modest, its purpose is grand, and it successfully delivers its message.
Acting
Atul Srivastava stands out as the film’s heart and soul. A seasoned actor, his performance as Geeta’s father is remarkable and adds depth to the story. Alka Amin also does a commendable job. However, the lead pair—Kashika Kapoor and Anuj Saini—fall short in terms of acting. Their expressions lack depth, and their performance feels unpolished, making it evident that they have much to learn in the craft of acting. Meanwhile, the supporting cast, including Vinod Suryavanshi (from Panchayat) and Pranay Dixit, delivers solid performances. Even in a small role, Aruna Giri leaves a lasting impression.
Verdict
This film is a must-watch, not just for its important message but for supporting films that dare to bring such subjects to light. Only by watching and encouraging films like this can we hope for more impactful cinema in the future.
