All India Rank (2023) is a Hindi-language coming-of-age comedy-drama directed and written by Varun Grover, marking his directorial debut. The film stars Bodhisattva Sharma as Vivek, a 17-year-old student preparing for the highly competitive Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) entrance exams. The narrative unfolds in the late 1990s, focusing on Vivek's experiences at a residential preparatory school in Kota, a city renowned for its coaching centers.
The story delves into Vivek's journey as he navigates the pressures of academic excellence, personal growth, and the evolving dynamics with his parents. His father, who views an IIT degree as a moral certificate, enrolls him in the rigorous coaching program. Over two years, Vivek undergoes the motions of adolescence, while his parents experience their own transformations. As the IIT entrance exam approaches, Vivek's father imparts a cryptic message, suggesting that IIT is not the ultimate goal in life.
