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.

- What is this?

- It's bernoulli's equation.

I know, but what exactly does

bernoulli's equation mean?

- Make sure you keep the house clean.

- Yes.

- You do light a lamp at the altar, right?

- Yes, everyday.

- Namaste.

- Namaste.

- Take care.

- Ok.

- So, what did we learn?

- When air passes between

two strips of paper at high speed...

like this...

the pressure between them

decreases and...

they fall in love.

That means, even aeroplanes fly

using bernoulli's principle.

Absolutely... q.e.d.

Oh yes, q.e. D

is quod erat demonstrandum.

Oh no, no,

q.e.d. Means...

quite easily done!

Well, that was quite easily done.

Absolutely!

I'm sanjay, sir.

Commerce, 2002 batch.

Sanjay...

sanjay tandon!

Banking services.

I'm a senior manager here,

come in, please.

Please sit.

Indradev, please call for

some tea and get their papers.

The papers?

Sir, i am so happy you've come here.

Sir, even i tried to get into s.t.m.

I wanted to become a scientist.

But i didn't score enough

at the state level exams.

I worked hard in college

and scored well in the b. Com. Exams.

And i got a job here,

in the reserved category.

I see.

It's only through hard work

that we win respect.

Yes, sir.

It was my good fortune

that i got to meet you today.

It was a pleasure

meeting you too, indradev.

Ram, sir. Indradev ram.

Thank you, sir.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

If there is any problem,

let me know.

Now work sincerely.

I want to see my friend happy.

Yes, uncle.

Sushant, can't you wait?

But, i'm starving!

Wait for deepak to come.

He'll eat when he gets here.

Why should i starve to death?

The parathas will go cold

if you open the container.

Oh i see...

such glorious love!

Now that he is going to the us...

for whom will you bring hot parathas?

That leaves only...

me!

Then the parathas are mine and so are...

you wish!

Take a look in the mirror!

Why?

Is it worse than deepak's?

Deepak kumar, i'm extremely pleased

to appoint you as a junior lecturer at s.t.m.

Congratulations.

Thank you, sir.

I'm proud of you.

- Come on.

- This is where deepak lives?

Why didn't you tell me

you live in such a narrow lane?

I could barely get my car in!

But i had built a special helipad

for you on the roof.

Little did i know

that you'd come by road.

I would've happily come but

your poorbi is scared of flying with me.

Sushant! You can't even walk properly...

and you're talking of flying.

Oh yeah?

Make it fast, ok?

- Shanti...

how are you?

I'm good.

When it comes to a party,

you conveniently forget your leader.

Just some snacks for the kids.

- Namaste, aunty.

- Hello.

Deepak got a job.

Oh, this is just a temporary job, aunty.

Once he completes his doctorate in

the us, he'll get his real job.

All of us are in for greatjobs soon.

No one can stop

the supreme court from...

granting 27% reservation

for seats in higher education.

And, where will it come from?

Greetings sir, please have a seat.

It is i who should be greeting you.

You are a model

for the backward castes...

and great is your principal...

for going out of his way

to help backward caste kids.

It's not like that.

He helps everyone.

That's indeed the

highest of truths, deepak.

Our principal's heart overflows

with kindness for one and all.

And his perennial intention is to furnish each

individual with a modicum of opportunity.

Modicum of opportunity?

Meaning that he gives

everyone a chance.

Then why don't you say chance?

That's exactly what i indicated.

Did you guys hear what

pandit here just indicated?

Chance!

Spread your wings and you'll take flight

give me a chance and

you'll have the sky in sight

spread your wings and you'll take flight

give me a chance and

you'll have the sky in sight

draw a starting line, one for all

draw a starting line, one for all

and you'll know if courage or

god is above all

just give me a chance

just give me one chance, my dear,

oh my dear

and watch me take flight

just give me one chance, my dear,

oh my dear

and watch me take flight

just give me one chance, my dear,

and watch me take flight

give me a chance, please

give me a chance, please

chance

just give me a chance

it showers it's glow with every step

let me see your moves

my sweet darling

take it, take it all

just one chance

the one who owns the bat and the ball

he writes the rules and wins it all

how long will you

keep this up this game?

Why don't you set up

a stadium of hope?

Just one chance

watch me as i step on the field

watch me as i step on the field

you will see my aspirations flying high

just give me a chance

just give me one chance, my dear,

oh my dear

and watch me take flight

just give me one chance, my dear,

oh my dear

and watch me take flight

watch me take flight

watch me take flight

just one chance

Congratulations, sir.

Three new courses this year!

You are god, sir.

My son had flunked twice but

with your help he cleared the exam.

We feel blessed, sir.

Now your brother, the minister,

will take care of things.

I won't go to any college but s.t.m.

Sir, but you're a professor at s.t.m.

Please use your clout.

We'll pay any amount.

There's nothing i can do!

Without s.t.m. Life is meaningless.

He will commit suicide, sir.

Only the minister can save him then.

Come, please come...

hello... please sit.

Deepak kumar and kamlesh narayan.

It's my pleasure to introduce

these two newjunior lecturers.

Go, meet them.

Welcome...

why are you wasting

your time here, mr. Deepak kumar?

Make use of the reservation rule.

The government is doling outjobs

to you people in charity.

It's you people who've been

living on charity, sir.

By snatching from us

what is rightfully ours.

But now, when you have to give it back,

it hurts, doesn't it?

You are the minister for education,

you practically run the government.

But you can't get admission

for your only nephew?

Oh stop crying, please!

I'm getting it done.

Sir, it's impossible at s.t.m.

No one can do that.

Why is it so difficult, verma?

Sir, over the past 35 years,

principal prabhakar anand has...

nurtured the college in every way

on his own.

Even the government can't interfere.

Last year, he refused admission

to the home secretary's daughter.

Really?!

In that case,

i have to meet this principal.

Aniruddha prasad is the secretary

of the s.t.m. Trust.

Let's have a word with him.

Yes, please do.

We've got more than

Hello...

the first cut off list is 94%.

Your daughter has scored 76%.

It's impossible, navneetji.

You've made millions

as a secretary in the government.

Time to put it to use.

You can buy a seat

in any college for your daughter!
