The story follows Ganga Ram Chaudhary (Abhishek Bachchan), a powerful and uneducated Chief Minister who is sent to judicial custody following a corruption scandal. To avoid hard labor in prison, he decides to appear for his 10th-grade exams (the "Dasvi" of the title). His journey is complicated by:
A strict and principled jailer who challenges Chaudhary’s entitlement and pushes him to truly value knowledge over power.
Commended for her convincing transformation from a shy wife to a cunning politician. Viewer's Guide Runtime: Approximately 2 hours.
The film delivers a powerful message that education is not just about a degree, but about personal growth and social transformation.
It portrays the shift of a man from craving a "seat of power" to seeking a "seat of reform" as an education minister.
The movie uses light-hearted humor to critique the political landscape and the lack of educational qualifications among many leaders. Cast and Accolades
Critics and audiences have called it "engaging" and "relatable," especially for those from middle-class backgrounds who understand the pressure of school exams.
The IMDb Parents Guide notes it is generally suitable for families, with no nudity or significant violence, though there is some mild profanity and "sarcastic" humor.
