Transporting us back to 1990s nostalgia, All India Rank in a simple way beautifully explores the heartfelt struggle with academics, dreams and aspirations, the personal life of students, family dynamics and most importantly the journey. Varun Grover captures the world beautifully, it's such a sincere and honest attempt from him. You could feel the vibes of love and warmth throughout, it was wholesome. Those visuals and animations were integrated in a creative manner. And the music was so cool, cannot get "Noodle Sa Dil" out of my head. The film actually struck a chord with me and I could relate with Vivek to an extent on a personal level. I wish the film was longer as I was invested in it properly and I was craving to more of this world. And please don't compare it with 12th Fail, both are very different from each other and are good in their own ways.

"All India Rank," directed by Varun Grover, presents a coming-of-age comedy-drama set in the 1990s, delving into the intense competition, parental pressure, and the obsession with cracking the IIT entrance exams. While the film attempts to capture the essence of the era, it falls short in several aspects. The weak cast is a notable drawback, with only a few standout performances, namely Bodhisattva Sharma as Vivek Singh, Sheeba Chaddha as Kalpana Bundela, and Geeta Agrawal Sharma as Manju Singh, Vivek's mother. The remaining cast members fail to leave a lasting impression, diminishing the overall impact of the film. Moreover, the slow pace of the narrative hampers its ability to engage viewers effectively. Instead of contributing to the storyline, the sluggish pacing detracts from the viewing experience, making it difficult for audiences to stay invested in the plot. One of the film's major shortcomings is its abrupt ending, leaving many loose ends unresolved. Despite attempting to explore various themes such as parental pressure, financial constraints, and the changing landscape of India during the era of liberalization, the story fails to delve deeply into any of these subjects, resulting in a lack of cohesion and depth. Ultimately, "All India Rank" may serve as a nostalgia trip for individuals who experienced the IIT craze of the 90s firsthand. However, for others, it offers little more than a surface-level portrayal of the era, failing to leave a lasting impression or deliver a meaningful narrative.

There's not plot in the film, dissatisfaction total waste of time, where's the ending? Did he clear or not what happens to his fathers job...why do these guys make such film..the main important aspect is the story, start middle and end, fkn there's no end total crap feel like waste my 1 and half hour for this.

The way this film started, with the old nostalgic popping music, background score riddled with Doordarshan serials was a good touch, but unfortunately that's all that was. It doesn't have the quirk of Kota Factory, or the heart of 12th Fail. The main problem are the characters- they are not well fleshed out, and their motivations are not clear. It seems like a sad payoff when all it took for the father to stop mentally imposing on his son, was that he realised IIT kids can also turn out to be rotten apples. Didn't he know this before? The payoff at the end is really muddy and leaves a vacant feeling once the film gets over. Very average, forgettable affair. Rating- 5/10 ⭐

Complete waste of time - script, actors, storytelling, plot all are messed up. Just hype created by people. Take a B class city, some ordinary looking people never seen before add a lot of 2 min rap songs in between and you get the recipe of a new web series or movie. The film revolves around a 17-year-old boy named Vivek (played gave him a typical UP boy look which looks stupid). Vivek is sent away from home to a coaching center in a different city to prepare for the highly competitive IIT entrance examination. The IITs are considered on par with or even better than MIT in the US, promising a great standard of life for candidates who manage to crack the exams. Vivek's parents pin all their hopes on him studying hard at the coaching center and securing a good rank in the IIT entrance exam. However, Vivek has other plans, and the story revolves around his predicament as a student. It does not even come even close to 12th Fail. Thank me later for saving your time.

Why did We need to say this Storu which has already been told beauitfully by many other directors and more better way, There was nothing.different or new in this movie, and it had not a single instance when people would wait for, the actors acting was really normal , and nothing was outstanding, they just made a movie because they wanted to.

I liked the concept and idea behind the movie .. but some other movies like super 30 and 12rth fail did much better story telling and were had much screentime. I like meaningful lengthy movie such as Oppenheimer. I know budget was short and this is first film of varun as director but still i felt so much thing missing like study and classes and actual lecture .. i mean i didnot learn a single thing from this. Its like student of the year 2. They show everything else without study/ but still all the best to varun . Hope so he continue directing more and more movies. Love this movie. Would recommend to watch at least once.
