Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya review: A timely series that finds hope in India's broken education and government school system
in5points
Prime Video series Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya is set in a fictional government school in Delhi's Tinki Toli.
Principal Gyaneshwar Tripathi (Kay Kay Menon) is motivated to improve school performance when a top-10 Delhi board exam ranking would send him and his wife to Cambridge University for a paid training course.
The series uses humor to critique India's dysfunctional education system and the apathy in government schools, with students hilariously detached from academics.
Directed by Himank Gaur, the show balances comedy and drama without being preachy.

Mostly straight facts, with a light progressive or opposition-friendly tilt.
About how the story is framed, not whether the facts are true.
