What did you think?
That you could win over Dinkar sir with some samosas?
Come here. Stand here.
Put that away and stand here.
Are you one of them too?
Sir...
Hey! Did I tell you to stop?
What do you think?
Why did these boys bring samosas and ladoos for me?
When the class backbenchers start giving more respect
to the sports teacher than the Principal that is when I know
that there is a Parent Teacher Meeting the next day.
Sir... tomorrow... Will you...
Yes, I will tell Neerja ma'am.
Sir...
That her daughter might be average in her studies
but she's the best in sports.
Right?
Yes sir.
Now go.
Why did you stop?
You want to feed me samosas?
Rishi! Ritika!
Hurry up.
Yes mom, just two minutes.
Their PTM comes around and I am the one who gets in trouble.
Why don't you attend the PTM with me?
I was ready to go...
but what can I do if the whole city's telephone line is dead?
Yes...
you and your telephone!
When are they alive?
Let's go!
Hurry up.
I wonder what I will have to face today.
Calm down, it will be fine.
You could have gotten two extra marks instead of these two ponytails.
Now let's go.
Wait outside the class and come in when I call you.
I told you to wait, didn't I?
You don't need to worry too much Mrs. Mehra.
Your child is as smart as Einstein.
He might even receive a Nobel prize some day.
Thank you.
He won the first prize in Chess.
His name was printed in the newspaper.
Take a look.
Good.
Please take a look ma'am.
That's amazing.
Mohit is making our school proud all over the city.
Ma'am how is his English?
He is very bright.
But he is a bit weak with spellings.
I mean... there is a little scope of improvement...
I am sure he will do better, right?
Yes ma'am.
Do better?
But my son knows all the spellings.
Yes...
I was just trying to tell you where he could improve. That's it.
Send in the other parents from the 5th grade.
Mrs. Mehra, you can meet with the other teachers just
make sure to sign Mohit's report card and give it to us before you leave.
Now the camel comes under the mountain.
Sit.
Neerja ma'am, you already know that you need to...
Yes, of course.
I have to sit there.
-Yeah. -I know.
Well Neerja Ma'am, your son has a lot of merits.
But his insolence is beyond that.
He always causes explosions in the science lab for the seniors.
Sir. Don't call them explosions, call them experiments.
He has more energy than a Potassium Electron.
What do you mean?
I mean that... just like them...
he is always looking for a way out of class.
He is a remarkable child.
Take that out.
Here.
Parent Teacher Meeting.
Also known as Torture day.
And that goes double for me.
Because all the jailers in this jail are friends with Kiran Bedi.
Only Dinkar sir can help me now.
What can I say, Prabha?
I just don't understand what her problem is.
Neerja, the issue is not her talent. It is her focus.
All she does in class all day
is stare outside the window to gape at the street.
If you bore us so much,
then what else am I supposed to do?
You're absolutely right.
She has the same issue at home.
No matter what I say, she never listens to a single word.
You see these two?
It looks like two long-lost friends are finally reuniting!
Now they will keep complaining about me all day.
I am tired of explaining things to her.
Please tell me what I can do.
"Shathe Sathyam Samacharet."
What does that mean?
You can only defeat evil with evil.
Use the rod.
Beat her up.
That is how she will improve.
Mrs. Mehra?
Give me the report card right here.
This will go on for a while.
Ma'am?
I don't see Dinkar sir anywhere.
Where is he?
Dinkar sir is...
Oh.
So even your daughter
needs to rely on the sports teacher on the day of the PTM.
What do you mean?
I mean... as you might know ma'am,
all the backbenchers rely on the sports teacher on the day of the PTM.
Anyway,
it's not like everyone can be a genius.
Kids will always grow up to be like their mother.
Look ma'am, they printed Mohit's name in the newspaper.
He won the first prize in Chess.
Congratulations my boy.
Thank you so much ma'am.
If she wanted to taunt someone she could have done it to me.
Why did she do it to you?
Just shut up and keep walking.
Who knows what else I might have to face.
They're both studying?
So what happened?
How was your interrogation?
What do you think?
One lacks focus
and other is completely insolent!
What did he do?
He caused explosions in the Chemistry lab!
Labs are made for experiments!
That teacher is stupid.
Really?
First you cause trouble and then you call the teacher stupid?
A stupid person deserves to be called stupid!
Rishi!
If you want to make a point then do it with your results.
Not by arguing with me.
Why did you hit him?
I have to face taunts because of these two donkey's.
That they're both like me.
Have some...
I am very sorry...
When I win the science fair...
I will prove them all wrong!
Prove that Rishi was right.
How will you even qualify for it child?
Even kids from the 12th grade will be participating, right?
I will do it.
All the backbenchers rely on the sports teacher on the day of the PTM.
Kids will always grow up to be like their mother.
Even though mom hit Rishi...
I felt the sting of that slap.
At the PTM the teachers surrounded me
like they did to Amitabh Bachhan in 'Agneepath'.
And they left me bloody and wounded.
But why did Mohit's mom taunt my mom?
Why didn't you say anything to her?
What could I say grandma?
Did you know?
Mohit's name was printed in the newspaper.
And mine?
Mine was in the group photo of the 15th August celebrations.
The residents of Shastri Nagar celebrate Independence day.
On this occasion, Ritika, Rishi, Dabloo,
Sonal, Chunnu and Munnu were all present.
Child...
not everyone can have their names published in the newspaper. Right?
Come. Come inside.
It's so cold
that you might freeze right here.
Go ahead, I will be right there.
In sports news: There will be a national Kho-kho championship,
in which the best player in the city
will compete on the national level and represent the city.
That's good. Didn't you play Snakes and Ladders on the National level?
Kho-kho!
I completely forgot that I am the best at Kho-kho in my school.
If Ritika plays Kho-kho at the state level
then even she can get a picture in the newspaper!
Only a newspaper article can beat a newspaper article. Yes!
One, two. One, two.
Do your stretching exercises now. Come on.
Keep going. Good.
Um... Good morning sir!
Good morning. You. Come stand here.
Check if they're stretching properly.
-How are you? -I am good sir.
Sir... the Kho-kho state level trials have begun.
I want to play too.
-State level? -Yes.
You're a good player...
But nobody from our school has ever qualified for the state level.
Let's give it a shot sir.
Well... just because it has never happened before,
doesn't mean it will never happen.
Exactly sir.
Are you sure about this?
It's a lot of hard work.
I will do it sir! I will put in double the effort you ask for.
Alright then.
Bring me a permission letter from home and then you can start.
But why?
You will have practice every day after school.
And then you will come home late every day.
Dad, you can come pick me up right?
There are faults in the telephone lines of the entire city.
I will be too occupied at work...
How could I pick you up?
I can... travel home alone, right?
And when will you study?
That's a separate issue.
Do you know how cold it is these days?
And it's so dark outside... How could you travel alone?
Mom...
-What? -Please!
Mom, this is the one thing...
that I am not average in.
Please mom.
Dad...
Fine.
Go.
But you will head straight home after practice.
Promise!
I swear!
Mother promise!
Okay... Thank you!
And now... this is the final product, understand?
-Sir. -Yes?
What is this?
Sir, this is my model.
Just give me permission...
I will take this model to the Science Fair
and represent our school.
Do you guys also think that this model should represent our school?
Sir, is sending a potato stand as our representative a good idea?
This potato is what lights up this bulb and spins this fan.
Did you just call this candle a bulb?
Last year, Saurabh Singh submitted a transformer.
And this guy will bring a lantern!
That's enough.
Look child.
This needs to be more refined.
Do it if you can.
But only a miracle could save this.
-Rishi? -Yes?
-What are you selling? -I am destroying it!
What? Wait... Give me that.
Why are you breaking it? Go sit down.
I don't want to participate.
But why not?
It's such a childish model
that even Dr. Raman would laugh at ‘Mungerilaal ke Haseen Sapne'.
The only thing other kids your age understand
is that potato is a vegetable.
Because it is a vegetable.
But you know that potatoes can also generate electricity!
And look at this...
Amazing! You made such an amazing model.
But everyone was laughing at me.
Does that mean you will stop trying?
Then there is only one way to prevent people laughing at you.
What?
That you never do anything at all.
Because when someone decides to do something...
those who can't do anything always make fun of them.
And look at what you have already made!
You just need to make the necessary changes to this.
Will you do it?
-You made this? -Yes sir.
Okay... now explain it to me.
Impressive.
This truly is a miracle.
Good job, Rishi.
Wow! It's really well made.
I will be happy when Dr. Raman likes it.
You have made it so well, how could he dislike it?
Grandma?
Do you think this will dry up by tomorrow?
I have an idea.
Let's put it in front of the heater.
That will help it dry faster.
Now both of you hurry up and go to sleep.
Tomorrow is a big day for both of you.
Don't cry Rishi...
Come on now. That's enough.
Hey! Don't you want to meet Dr. Raman?
Dr. Raman will laugh at me.
He will say that, "This boy is so stupid...
he doesn't know that he can't dry a plastic model in front of a heater."
Rishi... everyone makes mistakes.
Even if you can't
participate this year, you can do it next year.
Come on...
Now stop crying Rishi...
Ritika, you should leave.
What are you thinking about? You have trials today.
You should go, you're running late.
Run! Faster!
Fast, fast, fast. Hurry up!
Rishi!
Sis!
Mom! Dad! Grandma!
What happened?
Ritika you're still here?
Look at the time. Won't you be late?
Dad, the trials will go on till 1 pm.
I am leaving right now.
Forget about that, look at this!
Wait... did you fix this?
Wow! How...
Did you do it?
Well, it looks like you will be meeting Dr. Raman today after all.
You go get ready!
-Yeah... -Hurry.
Rishi Awasthi?
How old are you?
Sir... I am 10 years old.
10 years old? And what have you made today?
This is a Bio Gas project.
How does it work?
I am coming! Just wait!
Please don't ruin the doorbell.
Mom! Prize!
Oh wow!
Show it to me too.
Dear? Rishi won a prize!
Did you meet Dr. Raman? What did he say?
He praised me a lot!
He said that, "This boy has made a better model
than most high school kids."
Good job my boy.
-Show it to me. -Consolation prize!
-Oh... -And Dr. Raman's pen.
He even gave you his pen?
Amazing... This is very cool.
Now be sure to keep it safe.
Make sure to use it when you give the Engineering entrance exam.
-Show it to me too. -Show your grandma!
-Ritika... -Sis!
Look at this.
Sis! Consolation prize!
Rishi...
Dad... I was five minutes late. So...
How was your trial?
Uh... I was too late.
So you didn't even get a trial?
Dad... I was five minutes late. So...
So, the judges had to leave.
I will go freshen up.
The girl is very talented.
I am sorry Dinkar sir,
talent is important but it's a lot more important to be disciplined.
And she was late today.
The son of Sanjay Awasthi and Neerja Awasthi,
Rishi Awasthi from Shastri Nagar shines at the Science Fair.
-Wow! -Rishi!
-Take a look. -Yes, show me.
What are you doing? Did you thank your sister?
Thank you sis.
She is just like you.
She cares more about others than she does about herself.
She is my daughter...
Of course she is like me.
On that day, the Awasthi name appeared in the newspaper for the first time.
Sanjay Awasthi, Neerja Awasthi and Rishi Awasthi.
I was the only one who wasn't included.
Even though I didn't get a picture in the newspaper...
I still got one in my mom's heart.
I am proud of you my child.
