Deepak... kumar.

What is your full name?

Deepak kumar. That's it.

Family background?

Tell us about your father.

I never met my father, sir.

My mother raised me.

I see. What does she do?

She used to work as

a domestic maid, sir.

Now she irons neighbours' clothes.

You seem to have scored

But, afterjoining s.t.m.,

i topped the b. Sc. Stream with 76%.

And in m. Sc., i stood first

in the university's merit list.

Well... we can see that.

But, mr. Deepak... kumar,

ours will be the most expensive institute

in central india.

Children of politicians, businessmen,

bureaucrats and other vips will study here.

Our aim isn't merely

to provide top class education...

but also ensure their overall development.

Manners, etiquette,

communication skills, body language...

y'know, almost like a... finishing school.

You do know what

a finishing school is, don't you?

No. In fact, this is

the first time i've heard of it.

I can understand.

After all,

given your mother's background...

sir, please!

You aren't even capable of

understanding my mother's background.

And, as for manners and etiquette?

You can't find a better example

of that than me.

You've been repeatedly mocking

my caste and status...

and yet, this paperweight

continues to remain here.

If it weren't for manners...

i'd have branded your

institute's name on your foreheads.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Had you asked me a single question

about my subject, you would've realised that...

a person's intelligence and performance

do not depend on his background.

You have obviously forgotten that,

given the opportunity...

it was a backward caste person

who drafted our country's constitution.

It's precisely this despicable mentality

that is ruining our country.

I can't believe that they studied

in this very college.

And this is their mindset!

I have obviously failed as their teacher.

Sir... it's okay.

No! It's not okay!

I'm sorry that by sending you there

i caused you to suffer humiliation.

I thought that until your doctorate begins,

you could gain some experience.

And, it would also

reduce your mother's burden.

How's her backache now?

She's much better, sir.

Do look after her well.

Have you mailed your

papers to cornell university?

Sir, actually i'd like to

do my doctorate under you.

Absolutely not!

Whatever you needed to learn from me, you have.

Time you moved ahead.

Yes, sir.

But until you leave for the us, why can't

the principal give you a job at his college?

Mother... sir has already

helped me so much.

Now, if he also hires me,

won't people accuse him of favouritism?

You're back early, hariya?

Must've sneaked out

of the evening class. Isn't it?

The teacher himself didn't show up.

Don't tell me his goat was stolen again.

No, not the goat.

This time they say his wife ran away

in sheer frustration.

Shut up, silly boy!

Won't you play the computer game today?

No, got to work on important stuff.

Don't disturb me.

Why, haven't you finished

your homework yet?

No, i have to

submit this today. Go now!

Deepu... admit it.

You're scared of losing.

- So, suppose a plus b plus...

panditji, there you go again

taking the longer route!

Obviously! After all, he is from

the intellectual caste of our society.

How will he prove that

unless he exhibits his extra intelligence?

But sir, my answer is

the same as that!

Sure. But, why did you need

these extra four steps?

Sir, but i've memorized every answer.

Now, if i try the shorter route,

i could lose direction.

Ok.

Congratulations, principal sir.

Both ganesh and raghav

have been accepted into llt kanpur.

Wow!

Well done, well done!

However...

your real struggle begins now.

Have some sweets, shambhu kaka.

To celebrate whose success?

Their success.

They've got into the engineering stream.

Wow!

Whoever studies here

is bound to succeed anywhere.

So, shall we enroll you too?

Come on, what'll i do here?

But, you know my daughter muniya...

she is in the tenth grade.

As soon as she clears that...

i'll plonk her in front of guruji.

She will work hard, you'll see...

mark my words, she will become...

how d'you say it... a collector!

Dad, you aren't allowed.

Surely, just one...

ever since the results were declared last week,

you've been gorging on sweets.

Now no more.

You're becoming exactly

like your mother, you know that?

You said something?

Last one!

Suppose, a+b+c+d by 2 is greater

than or equal to under root a+b...

+c+d

did you send your papers to cornell?

Yes. But i won't be going.

You will have to, junior professor.

Because, you see,

i am going to follow you there.

Quit dreaming. I'm not going.

Alright, don't go to cornell.

But, surely you can come for a movie.

What?

You're gawking like

i tried to molest you.

When you ruffle your wet hair

and shower droplets all around

it feels so good

when you part your lips

and softly whisper sweet nothings

it feels so good

don't float around like a fragrance,

just get to the point.

Look into my eyes and say it

don't make me wander in dreams

in short, just say it

just get to the point

just get to the point

it's another feeling

when you are around

when you turn around

and smile in your endearing style

it feels so good

don't play around with words,

don't fool me with your act

take my hand in yours,

come out with those three little words

in short, just say it

just get to the point

just get to the point

say something...

the weather is great...

the lake is beautiful...

and so are you...

can't you just get to the point?

It's not as bad as it seems.

You're looking fit.

How about a game of badminton?

You've obviously forgotten...

that i beat you 21-15 the last time.

I suggest you practice

some more before challenging me.

The moment you come

everything seems fine.

I am worried about them.

Nothing seems to have worked out.

They want to start computer classes...

but the bank isn't sanctioning their loan.

They need a guarantor.

The house hasn't been built completely.

Listen...

if the bank agrees...

i'll sign as a guarantor.

As for the house,

right now they're staying in our new house.

But for how long

can we pile on to you?

They were supposed to be there

just for two months... it's already four!

Papa, the builder said we'll

get possession in three-four months.

That's perfect.

I don't need the house immediately.

The college is giving me

a two-year extension.

I don't want you to worry.

You're the only one i have.

But, i can't play badminton today.

Tomorrow, definitely tomorrow.

I'll be here.

- I'll only be a minute.

- Make it quick.

Guruji?

Guruji, guruji...

greetings to you.

You can't leave unless

you have some tea.

Shambhu, some other day.

I'm in a rush today.

It'll only take a minute.

Listen... make some tea.

She works very hard.

And, all on her own.

- Greetings guruji.

- Bless you.

What's going on here?

- Greetings guruji.

- Bless you.

Oh my god!

What is this high-sounding formula?
