35-Chinna Katha Kaadu

Arun is living the dream; he and his best friend are inseparable, and he is getting through school just fine despite failing math. It all changes when his fifth-grade teacher believes math is the cornerstone of knowledge. As Arun struggles with the rapid changes in his life, his family tries their best to help him. Things worsen, and Arun's parents clash over the best approach to help him. With the fate of his family on the line, Arun decides to accept a challenge set by his teacher and pass the annual standardized math test.

This is an excellent family-friendly movie. The story gives a unique perspective on how a family approaches raising their children, educating them, and conforming to what society deems appropriate. The story also shares many forms in which children learn and struggle with learning. The movie is long, and some parts could be removed to streamline the runtime, but overall, it is still a great watch. This is an excellent movie for anyone interested in international films or wanting to see how different cultures approach learning and education.
