Maybe I can help. Tell me.

Appu Wants to he a maid.

Maid?

Why?

Because I am one.

That isn't right.

Isn't it. I said the same thing.

Some logic about engineer's

son becomes a engineer...

..so, a maid's daughter

will he a maid.

Then Abdul Kalam should've

been a fisherman.

Because his father was a fisherman.

Then What did he become?

Stop eating your hail.

First he became a renowned scientist.

Later...India's President.

Means...Rahstrapati (President)

She knows that.

Who?

The one with the long hair.

Now I remember.

Even Salman Khan was

sporting the same hairstyle..

...in 'Tere Naam'.

The movie was a big success.

All the boys in my neighborhood

copied his hairstyle.

But not my husband.

He didn't have such habits.

But, his daughter is very fashionable.

Chanda, people find

success through two things.

Luck or hard work.

That's true.

And if poor people were lucky..

..they wouldn't be poor, right?

True.

So what's left is hard work.

That's What she'll have to do.

That's the problem, sister.

Appu doesn't want to do hard work.

She never listens .

She's all grownup now,

but stubborn as hell.

If this continues, I don't

..she'll even clear

her class 10 exams.

No, Chanda.

She will have to clear

her class 10 at any cost.

Let me Warn you.

If she fails in 10th,

she will stop studying.

I've seen many such kids.

You Were one of them too.

Take this off, and take those.

Keep this one outside too.

I was thinking about What you said..

..about your daughter yesterday.

Why do you think she

Won't pass her exams?

Some learning disability..

Mrs. Deewan.

You didn't show up yesterday.

I Wasn't in the mood.

Does she have dyslexia or something..

What?

What film was that...

Yes, 'Tame Zameen Pat'.

No, ma'am.

She's not stupid.

In fact she's over smart.

Always interested in other things

Happening around her.

And she scores decent

marks in other subjects.

Well, at least she passes.

Just this Math.

That's What troubles her.

Oh...

Gills have an old enmity with Math.

If only we can solve this problem..

I think We should

get her extra tuitions.

Don't Worry about money.

I know Mr. Gupta.

He runs a coaching classe.

Will you talk to him?

We should also check for dyslexia.

I doubt... - Ma'am,

she's got none of those.

She's just stubborn, that's all.

So Mrs. Deewan's sent you.

Yes.

What were your daughter's

scores in class 9'?

47%.

And Math.

She barely passed in Math.

Would you like some tea?

Look, Chanda.

The thing about coaching classes are..

..we offer discount to

students with marks above 75%.

But, sit,

don't Weak students need coaching,

Absolutely right.

But coaching classes

need good results.

Which We get only from

above avenge students.

And if they're already good..

..than, they don't need us.

So We've to give them discount.

Since Mrs. Deewan's sent you..

...I'll give you a special offer.

If yor daughter,

scores more than 50%..

..in her pre-board exams..

Then I'll give you 50%

discount for the clash course.

Okay?

Goodbye.

Come, dance with me.

Let's do it.

Sit here .

See you guys tomorrow.

To get you educated,

I sob floors, day night.

And, here you are enjoying

and having a chat?

Why didn't you come

home in the afternoon?

I had to eat noodles.

Appu, did you heat What I said?

This T.V has made life hell here.

Better to kill this T.V.

You say this every day.

Mrs. Deewan had

a wold with MI. Gupta..

...for your Math tuitions.

And he's prepared

to give you a discount.

But, first you need

to score at least 50%..

Your pro-board exams.

And you will do it.

At any cost, get that.

Mom.

Have you lost your mind?

What's the point in clearing..

..my SSC exams.

And even if I do it,

do you have the money..

..to pay for my further education'?

I'll end up as a maid.

So What good is education?

Say that again and

I'll break your teeth.

You and your stupid logic.

No brains, and all crap.

And what's this language you're using'?

You've lost all manners too.

Who Were you calling crazy?

Wh!

I will arrange for the

money that's not the problem.

But scoring 50% in pro-board..

..seems too fit-fetched for her.

Looking at Appu's attitude"

...I feel they'll fail

her in her semester exams.

Yesterday I took a peak in her books.

I couldn't understand a word.

It used to be easier before.

But everything's in English now.

You know...if I could understand...

..Then, I would've

definitely tutored her.

But my position in Math

is 'Nil Battey Sanaata'.

What?

It's a proverb .

Used for someone Who's beyond help.

Well, what a proverb!

What if you get a

chance to study again'?

Will you teach me?

My position in Math

is 'Nil Battey Sanaata' too.

Wonderful.

It's like had luck all the Way.

I can't teach her or get her tuitions.

Will you go hack to school?

What?

Will you go hack to school?

Yes, let's go.

Why don't we both go together?

We'll trouble the teachers.

I am not joking.

What will I do in school?

What will I do in school?

Make pickles.

Study, and teach your daughter.

No, this isn't done.

You're sounding absurd.

This isn't a film, its reality.

So What was all the commotion about?

Well, there's no tax

on raising a commotion.

So I did it too.

And anyway, who would

give me admission at this age?

Don't Worry about that?

Do you Want to?

Chanda, let's go.

We're getting late..

Thanks.

Going hack to school at

this age could he so humiliating.

And What happens when

Appu becomes a maid?

Look, school ends in the afternoon.

Tuck it in.

That means I'll have to shift my job..

..at the spice factory an hour later.

That means I'll arrive...an

hour late at the shoe factory.

They will definitely clobber me there.

Aren't you done with the pins'?

Chanda, Do I look good?

And if I go back to school".

...I'll have to pay for the uniform,

school fee, hooks.

..pens, pencils, commuting"

- Coming.

Like "The dough is runny in poverty".

Close all the windows

and doors before you leave.

What happened?

I forgot that.

If I start going to school..

...I'll have to come an hour

earlier at your home? What than?

That means We'll have

to Wake up an hour earlier.

What if I fail myself?

Won't that he terrible?

Are you carrying the envelope?

- Yes.

Look, Chanda, if it's so difficult.

..then don't get into this mess.

Let her become a maid.

Shall We?

Close the door..

- Close it.

Are you okay?

Why?

Nothing.

I used to your chattering.

That's Why I asked.

You know, I think you

should join Appu's school.

Appu's school?

Sister..

Private school fee are too high.

There must be other

government schools.

If you join Appu's school, her class..

..she'll make less mistakes.

Right?

Secondly, you will know..

..what problems she is facing. Right?

Appu will kill me.

Bye. See you.

Bye.

It will he flue.

Let's go meet his principle.

What's his name? Srivastav.

Get my phone, I'll fix an appointment.

Ma'am, you didn't

have to take the trouble.
