Educational movie. Review on Chalk N Duster

Chalk N Duster is an underdog story which reminds us of our childhood where teachers didn’t want much in return of their services. Nevertheless, everybody is equal in front of inflation, even teachers. The need for more money is going to be there. So, what’s the way out? Chalk N Duster refrains from any direct confrontation at this juncture.

Having said that, it still is a finely-crafted work which brings out the pride only a teacher can have. You can witness the meaning of being a teacher in Shabana’s eyes. She is fiery, determined, benevolent and hardworking. Juhi is her perfect companion. She has given a heartwarming performance. These two ladies make sure that Chalk N Duster remains in your subconscious for some time. Rishi Kapoor’s cameo is also worth watching. His screen presence lifts up the climax by several notches.

The theme of greed over ethics works well for the film and most of its characters are in sync with the narrative. What makes Chalk N Duster rise above the average is its futuristic approach. Sometimes it does seem like an application to seek favours for teachers but mostly it talks about the value of good education. These teachers are hardworking and ready to take challenges head on, and that makes them adorable.

Chalk N Duster is a film worth your time. It’s fast, dramatic and meaningful. Simply put, a good watch.
