Compared with the first two Indian films, The Starting Line does not create too much warmth for children, but draws a picture of ironic reality through what a pair of parents do and think about their children's education, reflecting a thought-provoking practical problem, thus causing the audience to examine and think about themselves.

In fact, the film's title "The Starting Line" can vividly summarize the story of the film: In order to prevent their children from "losing at the starting line", an Indian couple named Raj (irfan Khan) and Tammy (Saba Kamahl) racked their brains to try to enter the upper class and enter the back door to become professional players before the annual "biggest competition" in Delhi, India.

In this process, parents who care for their children do their best and make various attempts, just to make their children have a good start at the "starting line". Although the whole movie describes the story that happened in India, this phenomenon that parents try their best to win the "starting line" for their children exists in many places outside India, and almost most people can find it.
