every Sunday in church.

Please let her get the admission.

Listen, we've been

praying to so many Gods...

I hope it doesn't

cause a problem later.

Someone will answer our prayers, Raj.

I mean I hope the Gods

don't push it on each other...

saying "You do it".

Wait-wait...

Let me see...

Mister.. move..

- Mister, you've left your mobile behind...

- Where?

Outside.

What are you saying?

Move... move, mister...

Mister, you have dropped

your wallet on the floor.

Move...

Mister...

Mister...

- Oh... 252.

- 254.

- Did you get it?

- Raj...

- We got in.

- Raj, let's check ahead.

Come-come...

Move... mister, please...

That's the wrong list...

Move... move, back.

Principal... coming through.

- What are you doing?

- Move... move...

- Check her name.

- Yes.

- Look on the right.

- Yes.

How can you see it?

You can't even spell 'Admission'.

But I can spell

Pia... you're just too much.

- You see it...

- Move.

Pia... Pia...

Do you see it?

Do you see it?

Pia... Pia...

Where are you looking?

Move, mister... please, move...

It's okay.

This is not the last one.

We've got four more schools to go.

The consultant said

we shouldn't panic.

Don't panic.

Don't panic.

Can we panic now?

Four schools have

declared their results...

but Pia's name wasn't

in any one of them.

Only Delhi Grammar School is left now.

You even made us undergo

training for Pia's sake.

And the interviews were

great... so what was the problem?

There is no problem with your child.

Then what is the problem?

The school doesn't want to give

admission to shopkeepers' children.

Madam, it's not some tailor's shop.

It's a fashion studio.

I am a businessman.

They call me the local tycoon.

You may be a business tycoon...

but the schools think,

if the parents aren't well-educated...

they won't pay much attention

to their children's education.

How can they say such a thing?

Look... we're very serious

about our child's education.

It's not me... the schools feel this.

You must understand it's not personal.

And don't worry.

I've made a list of some more schools.

A 'B-List'

Keep these B-list schools to yourself.

Come, Mita.

I'll show you what a businessman is.

So Mr. Batra, what's up?

- All fine at the shop?

- Well...

- No problem with the MCD.

- No-no...

The way you politicians

understand people,

even people don't understand

themselves as well.

That's exactly why we're

here... at your service.

Well... go on, tell me.

- I want a small favor.

- Yes.

You must have heard

of Delhi Grammar School.

Yes, everyone has.

It's the best school in the city.

- Best?

- Yes...

Well... I wanted my child

to get admission in that school...

so, if I can get

a letter from the CM.

You see... Mr. Batra,

getting a letter is not a problem.

But you must understand

it won't do you any good.

What?

You see... once

I got a letter...

from the PM's office

for someone's child's admission.

But Delhi Grammar School's

principal... is very strict.

She tore the letter in half.

Let it be, Mr. Batra... why

don't you apply for a liquor license.

I'll get it in 2 days.

How about a gun license?

Everyone's carrying one these days.

So you can't do it?

What do you think this is?

A vegetable market?

Sorry, ma'am, I thought this

is how it normally works...

Ma'am, I was only giving a donation...

Do you think this is a joke? How

dare you trot in with a bag of money?

If I call the cops now...

they will teach you a lesson.

If I ever see you

on this campus again...

then, I will blacklist your kid.

And she won't get admission

anywhere in Delhi.

Don't just stand there. Get out!

- Let's go.

- Sorry... sorry.

- Send the next appointment in.

- Yes.

Raj Batra.

Raj Batra.

Who is Raj Batra?

- Deepak Dhingra.

- Yes, sir.

Come.

Hey Honey... why are

you sitting in the dark?

Weren't you supposed

to go for a kitty party?

What happened?

- I had to cancel my plan.

- Why?

What happened?

The mothers whose children

go to Prakriti School...

have a separate kitty party group.

So does the New Capital School.

My child didn't get

into any of these schools.

So which kitty party do I attend!

Even the kitty parties

are being decided.

on the basis of children's

school... that's too much.

Forget it, Raj.

These kitty parties don't

make a difference to me.

How about some good news?

Any progress on the admission?

Well... I... all's good...

I mean... I am trying Honey.

Trying.

I am trying really hard.

Raj, you're still trying?

What do you mean you're trying?

Look... you're done trying.

You know, let's do one thing.

Let's pack our bags and

go back to your Chandni Chowk.

Trying.

Don't talk to me like that.

Sir... Chotu from the shop is here.

What do you want me to do?

Welcome him?

Send him in.

Yes.

Go on.

Calm down...

- Hello, madam. Hello, sir.

- Yeah.

You didn't come to the shop, so...

I thought I'll come over

personally and offer the sweets.

Looks like he's had another child.

How many kids are

you going to have, Chotu?

No-no... my daughter got admission

in an English Medium school.

- Wow, Chotu.

- Yes.

- That's good news.

- Yes.

Which school?

Parkriti School.

Which Prakriti is this?

There's just one Parkriti.

- Prakriti School.

- Yes, that...

- How did she get the admission?

- All thanks to sir.

- Sir?

- Thanks to sir?

Who?

What did I do?

- All thanks to him?

- But I didn't do anything.

- He's lying.

- Because of me.

It is because of him.

Sir sent me to collect the form.

So, there was a queue for

the underprivileged as well.

I got in that line too,

and got a form.

Well... it's all about luck.

With God's grace...

soon Pia and Rani

will study together.

Really... you do have God's blessings.

Yes, of course.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Have a sweet.

Go back to the shop,

I'll see you there.

- Huh?

- Go back to the shop.

Should I leave?

I am trying.

Mitho...

She's angry.

I am in big trouble now.

Let's try the sweets.

Eat the sweet.

At least you helped someone out.

So 10 o'clock is a basic math class.

Okay.

Twelve o'clock is swimming at the club.

And then at 2 English class.

- So madam, what now?

- What?

I would like to have a word with you.

What can I do for you, Mr. Batra?

Open a new school for your kid?

You can't because you

have opened a shop.

What?

You're running a business here.

Excuse me Mr. and Mrs. Sharma,

I'll be back.

Thank you.

Yes...

- Can't you speak softly?

- How can I speak softly?

We've been having sleepless nights.

Why?

The child of my salesman

got the admission...

Please, keep your volume down.

His child got the admission

in the same school...

where we've been

trying for so long.

- Must be through RTE.

- Huh?

- Right To Education.

- What is that?

What do we do with it?

Every school needs to keep 25 percent

reservation... for the poor kids.

- So?

- Understand?

According to the rules,

that's their right.

Don't we have any rights?
