‘Super 30’ movie review: Death by righteousness
The HinduIrony dies a painful death in a seemingly superfluous scene somewhere in the middle of Super 30 when a woman falsely accuses mathematics genius Anand Kumar of sexual harassment. But to me, the sequence felt strategically placed in what is supposedly a fictionalised account of Kumar’s life; as though in one swipe Vikas Bahl was trying to exonerate himself of all the sexual misconduct charges that were heaped on him in the height of the MeToo movement. Super 30 Director: Vikas Bahl Starring: Hrithik Roshan, Mrunal Thakur, Virendra Saxena, Pankaj Tripathi, Aditya Srivastava, Vijay Varma, Amit Sadh Run time: 154 minutes Storyline: A biographical film on mathematician Anand Kumar’s educational programme of training 30 underprivileged kids for IIT There is lot else that is really amusing about Super 30. The rag tag team of a Lagaan might still be alive in people’s minds but there is not a single memorable character in the entire lot of students here.
