I am a Batch 29 L1 pass-out certificate holder. All my batch mates who would speak about great things they have learnt as part of the Misfit L1 course. I would however like to do some constructive criticism about Misfit :

1. The first and foremost problem with the course is it will break your inhibitions. Just imagine all the inhibitions that you developed and nurtured in your 20+ years of existence all gone in 6 weeks. Is this fair? 20+ years of hard labor all gone in 6 weeks.

2. The next problem is the concept of magic within you that misfit preaches. Just imagine living like a copycat all through your life was so easy. Do things just like everyone else does and die. Now with this concept suddenly you start feeling you may have something completely different from others. Pathetic.

3. Making simple things complicated is another problem with the course. I always believed acting is copying any character from a movie and portraying it on stage. Misfit teaches you to portray real characters on stage. What a waste of time and energy.

4. A major drawback of the curriculum is that Misfit will teach you more than what it promises. We all came with an expectation that we will get what is promised in the course and we ended up learning more. That was a shock, a major shock. Hence these courses are not recommended for the faint hearted.

5. Another problem with Misfit is that it preaches the concept of “No one is a star”. I have personally seen Misfit Students from previous batches (all of whom are doing great in their professional life) coming to the studio and cleaning the floor , mentoring students , working late night with students and helping them prepare their script and hone their acting skills. You can reach out to them any time and they are always ready to help you out. All great human virtues life being self-obsessed, superiority complex is non-existent in them.

6. The scariest part of the course for me is the responsibility of holding an extra property and an extra family. At end of the course you will have a new home called Misfit and also a new family the MISFIT FAMILY.

So think twice before you Join Misfit ……
