Synopsis: Following the Mandal Commission report and the Supreme Court of India's decision to maintain a 27 percent reservation for Dalits and lower/backward castes, right-winged political parties organize protests. The Principal of Shakuntala Thakral Mahavidyalal, a non-government college which is exempt from this mandate, gets in the limelight when it's Principal, Prabhakar Anand, endorses the decision - much to the ire of the trustees as well as the newly appointed Vice-Principal Mithilesh Singh, who has invested Rs.1200 Crores in private coaching classes. Prabhakar refuses to change his stand and ends up tendering his resignation, taking his family, consisting of his wife, Kavita and daughter, Poorbi, to live near Shambhu Yadav's Tabela after they find their family home being taken over by Mithilesh's coaching classes. Attempts to evict Mithilesh's staff will be in vain and will not only end up alienating the family from everyone but Prabhakar will also be summoned and possibly arrested for

I don't need anybody's help.

Thank you.

Then the ratio of q/q should be...

(a) 2, (b) 1/2

(c) 4 or (d) 1/4

as i was saying,

a charged q is divided into two parts...

it's 3 a.m.

Where are you going at this hour?

I have to help them revise.

They have a math exam today.

Guruji...

so, the revision is going on...

yes, sir.

So, where have we got stuck?

See...

minus 2k squared

cancels out plus 2k squared.

Yes, of course!

Greetings madam.

Greetings.

Is... everything okay?

Yes, yes. Everything's fine.

This is dr. Prabhakar anand!

Yes, it is he who teaches

all the students here.

Our principal has come to meet you.

Greetings, sir.

Greetings. What brings you here?

Your student, muniya,

has done what we haven't ever seen earlier.

The student who would score 50-57%

earlier has scored a 76% in the preliminary exam!

What?!! Really?

Only you could have done this, sir!

She will do even better in

the board exams. Right, muniya?

I'll score more than 80%!

More than 80...

my muniya!!

Please serve tea!

I'll... i'll get some sweets.

- What's the matter?

I've stood first in my class!

Many of our students

take private tuitions and coaching.

At k.k. Too.

But, this time,

muniya has beaten everyone.

Now all the parents are

inquiring about muniya's coaching school.

Stable school!

Anyone who wishes to study can join.

Refund our fees.

We don't want our children to study here.

Sir, please...

tej, just attend to them.

Hello sir?

What is going on here, sunny?

The number of students

has reduced to half this month!

Admissions are still going on.

A group of 20 is coming to join today.

Perhaps a little publicity...

- publicity?!

Since when did k.k. Coaching

begin needing publicity?

What is this, tej prasad?

Sir, i've already spoken with them about it.

In a few days some more students...

sir, in a day or two...

what's this?

Where are these people going?

Sir, uh... in the stable opposite...

coaching classes are being held.

These are kids from gandhi nagar, sir.

Sushant seth has

arranged a bus service for them.

Really?!

Looks like his farce has begun to work.

If your notes are ready,

please give them to me.

I'll get photocopies made.

Now, there are more

than 70 students in the stable now.

Mrs. Dey?

Forgive me, dinkarji.

I won't be able to come any longer.

Sir, the principal has summoned you.

Come... have a seat.

You seem to be putting in

a lot of extra hours at the stable.

You guys are minting good money, eh?

I offer my services there for free.

But why?!

Mr. Dinkar, why are you throwing away

your hard-earned knowledge into a dustbin?

Join our k.k. Coaching.

Your talent will be rewarded there.

Mr. Mithilesh, i am devoted

to the principles of prabhakarji.

You can't buy me.

Fine, fine... please sit.

What's the hurry?

You've rejected my offer.

No problem.

Please take this new time-table with you.

You are in big demand

among the students.

So, two classes in the morning...

two in the evening.

Four extra classes everyday.

But, this is blatantly unjust!

I... i... i won't be able to do this.

Dinkarji, if you don't follow

these instructions...

i'll be forced to

take disciplinary action.

The bank guarantee that

s.t.m. Has taken for your house mortgage...

will have to be withdrawn.

As for yourjob, well...

mr. Ex-vice principal...

you have no other option.

Your house could get auctioned.

Then, perhaps you too will

have to seek shelter in that stable.

See you in the class.

Namaste, dinkar, you're early today.

What's wrong?

Sir, i'm resigning from s.t.m.

Sir, mithilesh singh has lured

the other teachers away with money.

He tried the same with me too.

Sir, i can't take it anymore.

Sir, i'm leaving this job.

No, dinkar.

You will do nothing of the sort.

I know you have

your responsibilities.

But, you're alone, sir!

Sir, this job isn't...

don't worry about me.

I will manage. Ok?

Come, come on, here all of you.

Come... come with me...

it's like this.

The other teachers

won't be able to come now.

So, those of you who can come

in the afternoon, be here at 3 p.m.

And those who can make it

in the evening, come at 7 p.m.

I will take three sessions. Daily.

Pseudopodia.

The parental body itself

functions as the reproductive unit.

The unicellular parent organism

divides itself into two parts.

...1, 2, 3, 3, 1, 1 within brackets.

Now...

obtain the universe of the following matrix...

using... elementary proportions.

And...

i'll be back in a minute.

Finish the diagrams.

Dad, please rest for a while.

No, i'm okay, my dear.

I have to complete their lesson today.

Please, dad... just for a little while.

You worry a lot about me.

Okay then,

please get me a cup of tea.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay, settle down,

settle down... alright?

Let's start.

Dad, sit still for a minute at least!

I gave them a test.

I have to check the answers.

Just what are you

trying to do, prabhakar?

How long are you

going to do all this alone?

What if something happens to you?

Well, anything can happen

at anytime, kavita.

But, the path that

i have chosen to walk on...

i am not going to stop.

Even if i have to

walk alone all the way.

Hariya, come...

have some sweets. Good!

Deepak, here have some sweets.

I had organised a prayer

for lord satyanarayan.

There are only 30 days to go

for muniya's board exams.

Suraj, please distribute these sweets.

To everyone!

So...

how is sir?

Obsessed by the same desire.

From 5 a.m. Until late at night...

he's at it for the kids.

There's poorbi and kavita who help.

But he really has no

breathing space at all.

We get double benefits.

Guruji teaches us in day

and here deepak guides us at night.

If only you were with him...

he would've had some support.

attend sir's morning class.

That's all very well, deepak.

But with more students coming in...

and guruji being alone...

a upon x+4 plus b upon x+7

and to find the value of the

constants a and b, we will assume...

x + 4 is equal 0

which means that x is equal to - 4

- namaskar.

- Namaste.

Sir, our kids want to join your class.

Both of these go to k.k. Coaching but

now want to come to your class.

My sons, shiv and om are already with you.

Seeing their improvement,

these people have also come.

Any student who wishes

to study is welcome here.

You can definitely send them.

But, sir, we had one request.

Please teach our kids separately.

Many people want

to send their kids to you.

If you wish, we can even give

you a separate place.

We are willing to

pay any fee that you ask.

The only thing is...

sitting near them is a problem.

These kids are...

you understand, don't you?

I mean... they don't even bathe.

Being with them will

ruin our children's culture.

There's a stench that comes

from your thoughts, in fact.

Your views are disgusting.

For me, all children are equal.

I will teach them together,

in one class.

If anyone wants to leave, he can.

And now, if you'll excuse me,
