You think I am stupid.

Listen to me...

You put in a recommendation

to your boss for Mohan.

Isn't it?

I did put in a recommendation

to your boss for Mohan.

You didn't forget about Mohan.

- How can I forget him?

- So what's new?

My boss is a great man.

He helps everyone out.

- Look at my clothes.

- Wow!

- He even lets me eat with him.

- I see...

He's a great man.

You know, he completely

turned Mohan's school around.

- Where is your boss?

- Boss... he isn't here. He's out.

I want to thank him.

I'll thank him for you.

- Give him this.

- I'll tell him Shyam was here.

- I hope I get to see that generous man.

- Shyam was very happy.

The school got a complete make over.

He was very happy.

He brought bananas for you.

Wow... what a house.

Great.

What a house!

- You're really living it up.

- Yeah... true.

You see Shyam...

- Leave now...

- Where?

- I'll tell him.

- No, I must meet him.

I am really busy today,

I've too many chores to finish.

- I see.

- You go.

You just spoke my mind.

We'll do it together.

- No-no-no...

- I'll help my brother.

Where do I begin? Here?

Here...

Let's make this place shine together.

Shyam, listen to me.

He's a busy man,

you'll need an appointment first.

I'll get an appointment for you...

In fact, I'll bring him to your house.

- Really?

- Of course.

- Let me sweep this first.

- Now you go.

- What are you doing?

- No..no..

Leave it... leave it.

I'm cleaning this room,

you go clean the other room.

No-no-no... I'll do it.

Let go.

This is my job, and I'll do it.

You go in the other room,

there are other things to do.

- No-no-no...

- Let me clean this room.

Let him do it.

Everyone wants to clean the same room.

I'm telling you. Go... go...

Oh, God.

Go... go...

You should have told me

if you wanted to fire me, sir.

Why are you calling him 'sir'?

You shut up.

What else will I call my boss?

She doesn't know... go.

Is he...

your boss?

Yes, he's the owner of this house.

Where do they come from?

Go to the other room.

Look Shyam...

You see...

I lied for the sake of my child.

Forgive me.

Politicians steal a poor man's food.

Builders steal their land.

We're getting one

opportunity to educate our children...

but you want to steal that too.

Why?

Because if our kids get educated,

and if they speak in English...

who's going to service to you?

Look, I didn't think that far.

I swear...

I only did it for my child.

Didn't you feel any

sympathy for my child?

How dare you take his right?

And now you're doing charity.

We don't want charity.

I want my child's right...

which you took from him

and gave it to your daughter.

Okay.

You did what you thought

was right for your child.

Yes.

Now I'll do what's right,

for my child.

Watch what I will do.

Raj... if he complains

at Delhi Grammar School...

- then the police will come for you.

- No, they won't.

And if they arrest you,

then your life will be ruined.

Everyone will call

Pia a fraud's daughter.

And if she gets depressed

and starts doing drugs...

Stop-stop!

Why do all your stories

end with Pia doing drugs?

- Drive carefully.

- I am.

Coming, Raj.

I didn't know we

would be running a race.

Mister... which way is

the principal's office?

- Take the next left.

- This way?

Walk in a line, please.

Shyamu uncle!

Shyamu uncle, do you like

my new school uniform?

It's very nice.

You look like an angel.

Where's Mohan, Shyamu uncle?

Mohan's right where he always belonged.

He's better.

- How are you?

- I am fine, uncle.

Pia.

Come back in line.

Bye, Shyamu uncle.

Come.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Do you know why I can't be like you?

Because we don't know

how to steal someone's right.

She's my child too... she

will study here.

Raj...

- You're going in the wrong direction.

- Yes.

We're supposed to go this way.

Raj, wait.

Raj... you can't do this.

I won't let you do this.

Raj, we did everything

we could for this...

What did we do, Mita?

We cheated.

We stole a poor kid's right.

That's what we did.

Raj, you've always listened to me,

haven't you?

For the last time... please,

listen to me... just this once, please.

Look, Mita, all my life

I've tried to be a good husband.

I know, Raj...

But if you're not

a good human being...

then you can't be a

good husband nor a good father.

- You can't stop me this time.

- Raj... think about Pia.

Let go.

Think about Pia.

We're sorry,

madam, for this mistake.

And now we want

to rectify this mistake.

You can...

cancel our daughter's admission.

Move Pia Batra's form from

RTE to the General category.

Yes, madam.

- And get rid of these files.

- Yes.

What are you doing?

Helping you out, Mr. Batra.

No madam, what we did is fraud.

No... in fact,

you've taken a good initiative.

- Our school needs parents like you.

- No.. No..

Madam, this seat belongs to

Shyamprakash's son Mohan.

Try to understand one thing.

If I give this seat to a poor kid...

- how will I benefit from it?

- What?

You're saying this, madam.

You were underprivileged...

Yes, go on... no need to hesitate.

You want to say that...

I am the daughter

of a poor servant.

I completely forgot about that.

Thank you for reminding me.

I even forgot how

my classmates treated me.

If I didn't do their homework...

they wouldn't invite

me to their birthday parties...

And even if I was invited

to their parties...

I would sit alone in a corner.

But now, Mr. Batra...

the same classmates are willing

to do anything for me...

for the admission

of their children.

So you want to say... you

won't give Mohan admission.

Wow... Now you can even

read my thoughts, Mr. Batra.

Look, madam, this seat

rightfully belongs to Mohan...

and I'll make sure he gets it.

And I can go to any lengths for it.

I am really scared, Mr. Batra.

Where will you go?

Press? Politicians? Police?

But even their kids study here.

I'll tell you where you can go.

Go to the auditorium...

and enjoy the program

like the rest of the parents.

Children,

what is the first sentence?

'Vivek is clever.'

Bravo.

In this sentence...

Mister, just a minute...

Welcome Parents and Children.

Today you're part of

this great institution...

Delhi Grammar School.

Your children will

come here as students...

but they will leave as leaders.

So let's begin

today's celebrations...

with this performance

by our students.

Where were you, Raj?

"We'll shine like the sun..."

"we dream to touch the sky."

"to touch the sky."

"We'll gather drop by drop..."

"and flow away with the sea."

"Away with the sea."

"We're here right now..."

"but we want to go beyond."

"Don't think we can't."

"We're determined..."

"and obsessed too."

"Say it out loud..."

"I've one life... and

a hundred desires."

"I'll fulfill them one by one."

"I've one life... and

a hundred desires."

"I'll fulfill them one by one."

"I've one life... and

a hundred desires."

"Nothing can stop us now."

"The night is amazing."
