- Hey Kunal, come on and join us!

- Yes man! You mustjoin in.

Hey shortie! Beat me and l'll

treat you to an ice cream.

- Bet!

- Bet!

Good morning, Sir!

Go, Kunal.

- Who wins, brains or brawn!

- Brawn!

- Got you! Got you!

- Kunal... Kunal...

- Yes! - Father Peter

would like to meet you.

l'll have my ice cream

when l return.

Kunal, l've received a letter

from your Uncle and...

... there is something

you should know.

Your Uncle insists that he wants

you to study in the school

run by him in his town.

But Sir, l don't want to go there.

Son, since the last three years

after your parents passed away..

..we have tried to make

this school your home.

But my child... Your Uncle

is your legal guardian.

Sir, please Sir...

Please sir.

There is nothing l can do.

l want to stay here.

Please sir.

Sorry Kunal... l am so sorry.

Far, far away... is a valley

ln that valley... is a town

The days and nights are strange

Everything there is unusual

Lend me your ears listen

to this tale

There's a small town And

the story begins there

All through the year The

seasons are lovely

The streets are lined with

trees and their shade

And flowers on every branch

that never seem to fade

There's a small town And

the story begins there

All through the year The

seasons are lovely

The streets are lined with

trees and their shade

And flowers on every branch

that never seem to fade

The people here know not

about the outside world

This town's thinking is

centuries old

What a town, O Lord

What a town, O Lord

They have joys and sorrows but know

little of the world outside

Their simplicity is their downfall

Those they revere, fool

and betray them

The streets are lined with

trees and their shade

And flowers on every branch

that never seem to fade

The people here know not

about the outside world

This town's thinking

is centuries old

What a town, O Lord!

Though darkness has spread

This deceit shall pass

A new dawn shall come

People will arise

O gentle and meek, hear this!

Here he is... First he was a curse

for his parents, now it's us!

- Bless you! - That's enough...

Baban... take him in.

Son, sit down and stay away

from him... he is jinxed.

Do you think you're royalty!

Your parents send you to school

so that you learn...

... you study, so that we

can make humans out of you.

Backsides up!

And in today's world to

become human you need?

English.

Teacher go fartee.

This means the teacher

has gone to drink tea.

Repeat after me:
Teacher go fartee.

Hey you rabbit, why are you

showing me your teeth.

Sir... it's not teacher go fartee.

''Teacher has gone for tea''

is correct English.

Heard that? The school

belongs to his uncle...

... while the English language

belongs to his aunt.

And himself

- he's royalty.

Now he will teach us English.

Come here.

From Dehradun is he!

An Englishman is he!

To his senses will come he! When

a home grown slap wakes he!

Now he'll go home with a long face

and won't act smart from today.

Kunal...

This is how it is here, Kunal.

Never say anything clever.

Fomenting will help.

He hit me on the other cheek.

Missing your old school

in Dehradun?

The teachers there never beat you?

Did they punish you?

The teachers spoke with a smile?

Do the masters there laugh?

lmpossible! At most, those

masters may smile sometimes.

Here the masters only beat us.

Just because we're small, they

beat us when they want?

They will punish us? Force us

to stand with our hands up?

And we can do nothing!

What can we do? We may want

to do so many things.

But kids are helpless.

They are so lazy.

Not ''lazy'', ''weak''.

Yes children are weak...

lf you think you're weak,

you are weak.

My mother used to tell me...

''You're as strong as

you believe you are.''

You're as strong as

you believe you are.

Take this, my love!

Oh... look how greedily

he is looking at my baby.

- Give him a bit... - No! No!

Give it, my son. Otherwise his evil

eye will ruin your appetite.

Happy birthday, Kunal.

Happy birthday, Kunal.

Arju, catch me if you can!

Kunal!

Ghosts live there.

- Stop yelling! Or you'll alert them.

- There are no such thing as ghosts.

Kunal, there are ghosts in there.

Bad things happen to

anyone who enters.

lt can't be true.

lt's true.

That's why even Pehalwaan Mama

is afraid to enter that house.

There are ghosts here.

My parents said there are no ghosts

and they never told lies.

There are no ghosts.

lf there are no ghosts, l dare

you to enter that house!

Come on, if you've got the guts.

- See, you got scared! - l'm

not scared of anything.

Then enter that house.

Go.

Actually nobody's forcing you.

lf you're scared, forget it.

l'm not a coward.

Kunal, stop!

What will happen to him?

You're as strong as

you believe you are.

Kunal, run! He's a mad man!

- He is dangerous. - He

makes children disappear.

He practises black magic. Run Kunal!

Here you go, Sir!

Sir, you're looking so handsome...

just like a bridegroom.

Focus on your work and don't forget!

Please excuse me for being late.

People of that village

were so happy that...

...l was giving them a new school...

just not letting me go...

raining garlands!

They told me to plead with you

to sanction the grants soon.

l told them how big-hearted

you all were.

What will you have

- tea, coffee, something cold?

May l speak to ddddd...

Deshrajji, please?

- Shahrukh! King Khan!

- Unbelievable!

King Khan for the world.

But for you...

l will always be the middle-class boy

from Delhi with dreams in his eyes.

You were the first to

see those dreams.

Shahrukh, please. Giving me

more credit than l deserve!

Deshrajji, l rang up

to congratulate you.

l've come to know you're opening

five more schools.

Shahrukh, with your support my

dream to open up 5,000 schools

will surely come true.

ln fact, the Education Officer

is sitting right in front of me.

Then l have called at the right

time. Give him the phone.

He wants to speak to you.

Shahrukhji, l'm Shyamlal Markanda.

l'm a huge fan of yours.

Markandaji...

... forget about screen heroes,

let's talk about real life heroes.

Like our Mr. Deshraj.

one of the finest educationists

in the country.

He really deserves all

your help and support.

Yes, Sir... certainly, Sir...

Thank you, Sir.

Markandaji, thanks to you, Sir!

Goodbye! Khudahaafiz! God bless!

You are too kind, Sir.

He has hung up.

Never forgets what l've done for him.

Anyway, let's get down to business.

- She is... - l forgot

to introduce to you...

... she is Choudhary Madam, from

the state audit department.

Okay.

Sit down, Deshrajji.

we have studied your proposal

but there is a serious problem.

Your accounts show that 6

million rupees are missing.

Money sanctioned by the government

for library, laboratory, benches...

... seems to have been diverted

to your personal account.

ln fact, l've come here for your ..

.. explanation before l

file a police complaint.
