Decent Boy

About This Movie

Decent Boy offers a raw glimpse into the generational clash between tradition and modernity, set against the backdrop of educational transition. The film unfolds slowly, giving room for the tension between Dhruv and his father to simmer, and you really get a sense of how deeply personal the stakes are for both. The documentary format lends an earnestness to the narrative, as you see real emotions and struggles play out. It’s not flashy or over-dramatic, yet it captures the quiet turmoil of a young boy torn between familial loyalty and his own beliefs. The performances feel authentic, each character grounded in their own convictions. It’s a reflective exploration of identity, family dynamics, and the pressures of societal change.
