reading the equation,

means you'll are already

Mathematicians.

We get an egg everyday now?

Now you just need to learn

the equation.

Yes ma'am, only Oru

doesn't understand.

She jumped out of the way!

No.

I can't touch eggs on Tuesdays!

But Oru taught us some Physics.

Oru applied force

to get out of the way.

Force=Mass x Acceleration.

Oru's taught us

Newton's Law of Motion.

Walking, sitting, getting up, running

we learn all of this early on.

Now just learn it as an equation.

Ma'am, if we know

everything already...

...then why are we wasting

our time in school?

I can walk in a straight line

anytime.

What say Pankaj?

Shouldn't you be in class?

Ya! Sorry sir.

You're not getting

what I'm trying to say.

We can try all we want ma'am,

but we'll never become 9A.

And we don't want to either.

This Prefect Badge

is just one big drama!

And what was that -

when in doubt, remember,

the badge is not for you,

you are for the badge.

True that ma'am,

it's just all politics.

Basically, I'm not the only one

with Tourette's over here.

Madam please.

Your Tourette's theory is cute,

but practical life is quite different.

What's the big deal

about them anyway?!

It's just a Badge!

It's not about the Prefect Badge.

You can be your own Badge

if you want.

You just need equal opportunities...

What equal opportunities ma'am?

I bet 9A has maids and servants

to even wash their bums.

And ma'am, we need to stand in a 50

meter long line, just to take a dump!

This school and its teachers

will never let us become Prefects.

Sir, you wanted to see me?

Yes Mr. Wadia, please sit down.

Ms. Mathur wants 9F to be eligible

for Prefectship.

You're joking, right sir?

No!

What's so funny Mr. Wadia?

Technically Prefectship

is for everyone.

So, 9F should also get the chance.

As St. Notkerites, they're also

eligible for Prefectship.

Or are you worried sir, someone

from 9F will become a Prefect?

Hmmm.

Eligibility for Prefectship right?

Well, as head of Student Council,

I have no objection.

But I hope you know...

a student has to score above 90% in the

final to be eligible for Prefectship.

'Above 90%'.

There you are, above 90%.

Yes sir. Thank you.

Ms. Mathur trust me,

it's enough if 9F can just pass.

Especially given the way

you're teaching them.

Sir, has Ms. Mathur shared her

methods with you?

Today, in the playground,

she began the class with eggs.

Went on to Parabola, Maths.

Then suddenly she shifted

to Physics and Newton's laws.

Was it a Maths class or Physics,

or cooking class?

I'm so glad you're interested in

my teaching methods Mr. Wadia.

Sir, in the real world,

life doesn't test us subject-wise.

So Ms. Mathur, it's now your exam,

as much as theirs!

Whether you like it or not, they

will be tested in the classroom...

...on the exam day!

And don't worry, the day a student

from 9F scores 90% -

I'll pin that badge on them, myself.

Thank you, sir!

Mr. Wadia, make sure you have

more than one badge ready.

Good day, sir!

Listen up and listen hard,

we gonna blow your brains apart.

Yo mamma, you better remember my name,

Imma rob you blind,

that the name of ma game.

Hold onto your belt and knickers,

we gonna rock so hard,

you gonna look so lame.

Hold onto your belt and knickers,

we gonna rock so hard,

you gonna look so lame.

Hello, how are you?

Hi.

Aman is a topper.

- She really works hard.

- Well done Natasha.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you so much, sir.

- Hello ma'am.

- Good morning.

Harshad right?

Just needs to pay attention.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

So how was your PTM?

5 cups of tea... and 0 parents.

Oh.

You conduct classes in the

playground, isn't it!

Maybe your Parent Teachers' Meet

should be in every kid's house? No?

Finally, Mr. Wadia... you and me

agree on something.

Thank you!

Good afternoon, ma'am.

Keep your eyes open, blink too much

and your money flies.

Here's my 20!

Gimme your money!

Up there?

Ravinder?!

Naina ma'am, what're you doing here?

All okay?

Why didn't you get

your parents to the PTM?

Run! The cops are here.

The cops are here, run!

Hey Ravinder, stop! Catch him.

Ravinder!!

Ravinder...

Ma'am, why're you here?

- Tara!

- Today's a holiday no?

Holiday? It's Parents-Teacher Meet!

Your parents didn't come?

Mom's working at the fish market,

and Dad's not with us.

Oh! I'm sorry Tara, I didn't know...

He's not dead!

Just doesn't live with us.

C'mon, c'mon. Driver side.

Go, go, go , go.

Right, right, right.

Ma'am, what's up?

Oru!!

- Mummy...

- Hello!

Your place also didn't get water?

Ma'am!

Ashwin!

This is our stall!

Ma, this is our school teacher.

Hello!

Ma'am, my son's like a Jackfruit.

He has a tough shell,

but he's all soft inside.

Look after him ma'am.

Ma, she doesn't know jackfruit!

- You've never eaten jackfruit?

- No!

Madam, I drive the baggage trolley

at the Airport.

I want my Shagufta to fly that

Aircraft I load that luggage in...

...that's what makes me

work hard everyday.

Madam, you are a ray of hope for us...

There is a whole world

outside these slums...

...we just want our kids to

get an opportunity...

...to do what we could never do.

Killam.

Killam!!

Come, come, come. Sit down.

Ravinder, come here. Come, sit.

Ashwin.

So today, Ravinder will teach

the class.

How much do you make

at that card game?

If you don't mind me asking.

8 a month? Sometimes 12...

Thousand?

Not bad.

I was wondering if you could

teach all of us.

Don't pull my leg, ma'am.

No, really.

Oru, give me the calculator.

We're 15 including me.

15 times 8 thousand.

120,000.

Hmm.

And if some of us are caught...

so what? It's part of the job.

Say 3 of us are caught.

Bail will be 6350 per person.

We're left with...

100,950.

If we divide this by 15?

But ma'am what's your point?

That you are able to do complicated

calculations on your own...

...faster than even a calculator!

And yet you keep failing

in Mathematics.

Isn't that weird?

Ravinder... you have a gift.

Use it wisely.

Ma'am, what's he gonna get

from studying?

Maybe a Graduate degree?

He's already making more

than the graduates in our slums,

who sell detergents door-to-door.

I don't want to sell

no detergents ma'am!

Who's asking you to sell detergents?

You wanna bet, learn to bet legally.

Not this petty roadside gambling...

...but the largest level of gambling

in the world.

Learn to bet on the stock markets.

Who knows? You could become

an investment banker!

But for that, you'll have to prepare.

You'll have to study.

Ma'am, he's good at math,

he has a gift.

What about the rest of us?

Yes ma'am, only some kids

in a school can be intelligent,

the rest have to be useless no?

She's right ma'am.

I am dead sure,

I'm completely useless.

My Science, Maths, even Geography

is a giant, oval zero.

Just like my tummy!

Killam, you work in a garage right?

Why does a car go faster

in the 4th gear than in the 2nd?

Ma'am, because the 4th gear
