Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya (आदर्श बाल विद्यालय)

ADARSH CHILDREN'S SCHOOL TINKI TOLI, DELHI

Which way is "Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya"?

The tea is just for ten rupees, sir.

I asked you for directions to the school.

And I told you the price of tea.

Tea?

One cup.

Do you go to school?

Yes, I do.

But right now, Jija is spread in class.

That is why the class is closed.

Jija?

What kind of disease is Jija?

It's not a disease.

-You know that Goldy? -Who?

The MLA.

The groom's brother-in-law suddenly showed up at his daughter's wedding.

So, to accommodate his family,

two classrooms and one lab have been rented to them.

And the brother-in-law is asleep in our class.

Which school is that?

Take a left from the gutter, and then take a right.

Your destination, and my answer, are both at the end of that road.

Catch him!

Fight!

What is going on here?

-It's an out! -Hey! Hey, stop it!

-It's clearly out. -Stop it. Stop fighting. Quiet!

Quiet!

Is this a school or a wrestling ring?

Go, call your headmaster.

What are you looking at? Bring me your headmaster!

Sir!

Gyaneshwar Tripathi.

49 not out, sir.

-Sir, you're out! -You're out!

It was a no-ball!

Not out!

You see, the problem is...

The children from the slums are very good at bowling.

That is why they needed an all-rounder down the order.

-So I joined them. -Mr. Gyaneshwar,

the government pays you a salary

so that the kids can get good numbers in the board exams.

Not on the scoreboards.

Why would they not get good marks, sir?

The tenth-grade batch this year is full of geniuses.

Last year, when they were in the ninth grade,

70% of the kids from this batch got 90% marks in 80% of the subjects.

And K3 ji sir will be the State Topper.

K3 ji?

Kamal Kanth Kuttan.

He is so studious that I have to add a "ji" with respect.

I see.

Sir, I know. I know.

Our school didn't make a good first impression,

but the second impression will be perfect.

Gyaneshwar, how many times do I need to tell you

to remove the chemicals from the lab?

Last night, I don't know what my father drank, thinking it was water.

His urine is now purple!

He goes to the toilet and instead has a titration.

I will send the Chemistry professor, and he will neutralize it.

I mean, he will change it from purple to white.

Change it to yellowish-white.

You-- Brother-in-law, you should focus on the dance at the wedding.

We will handle things here.

Fine. You have to dance too.

Yes, I am practicing that move.

-Okay, let's go, Dad. -Okay.

Son, it wasn't purple. It was violet.

Sir...

The third impression will be perfect, sir.

Mr. Gyaneshwar, the educational directorate

can only help with the facilities.

It is your responsibility to use them properly.

You asked for one teacher and two whiteboards.

The rest is up to you.

The government is giving you everything you need.

I did send a request, sir, but...

it was for one whiteboard and two teachers. Math and Physics.

She can teach that.

Yes, she can teach it. You can, right?

Ms. Kanchan is an all-rounder too.

Oh!

Sir, I am a Math Teacher.

How can I teach Physics?

Math and Physics are like cousins.

One reads the recipe and the other cooks.

Just put the pot on the stove, you can do it.

She can do it. Trust me.

Go to the clerk's office and submit your documents. I will see you there.

-Go ahead, please. -Sir?

Sir, the Chemistry lab equipment...

Mr. Gyaneshwar, send me an email with a list of all of these problems.

-Yes. Okay. -Okay then.

Oh, and...

I know you won't be able to,

but I want the Cambridge details by Friday.

-Yes, sir. -Make sure to send it.

Okay.

What, sir?

Sir? Sir, sir, sir!

Which details, sir?

Can you just quickly remind me?

You don't check your email, do you?

No, I do...

Last night's match lasted till the super over.

So I ran out of my 1.5 GB of data.

Mr. Gyaneshwar, the government has introduced a new policy

to encourage commendable HMs like you.

I see.

This year, Delhi's ten government schools

with the highest tenth-grade Board results...

Okay.

The Headmasters of those schools will be sent to Cambridge for training.

Cambridge.

Cambridge in England?

You mean, we will go to a foreign country, sir?

Just the headmasters of the top ten schools.

Yes, you mean, we will go to a foreign country?

Mr. Gyaneshwar, I understand

that your tenth-grade batch is a historic batch for this school.

-No doubt, sir. -But you already know

how proud we are of the government schools in Delhi.

Now, to beat 2,500 other schools,

your kids don't need teachers.

They need God himself.

Yes, that is...

Son? Please come.

Sir.

Tell sir what we say at the start of Monday's assembly.

"A teacher is Brahma, the creator. A teacher is Vishnu, the preserver.

A teacher is Maheshwara, the destroyer of ignorance.

A teacher is verily the Supreme Absolute.

Salutations to that revered Teacher."

Sir, this is...

our future State Topper.

Kamal Kanth Kuttan, sir.

That is why we add "ji" with respect.

-Ji. -Exactly!

Here.

Sweets made with sesame.

They will help reduce the pain.

Bansi, my child, the only reason I come here

is to provide a support system for children like you.

Tell me, what happened?

Sir, during the lunch break, Palak said,

"You will be the flag today."

Before I could understand, she strung me up on the pole.

And then she gave me a tight slap and started yelling,

"Come wave the flag for 20 rupees! Come wave the flag for 20 rupees!"

Half the school waved the flag today, sir.

Do you have anything to say?

Counselor sir, I know you want to rusticate me for my actions,

and...

I agree with your decision.

Sit down, Palak.

You have already been kicked out of four private schools.

Why do you have to turn everything into a textbook rebellion?

Because I don't want to study! How many more times do you need to hear it?

-Then what do you want to do? -Anything else!

I could become an influencer, join a reality show,

or open up a shop and earn some money.

Education is not just about making money.

You can also help other people with it.

-You can help society-- -You are telling me that?!

You can't even help your own daughter.

You want to help the entire society.

Sir...

is she your daughter?

Sir, you should have this.

To help reduce the pain.

Sir?

Oh, Sharma ma'am.

You don't have to hide behind a veil in school.

I am the Headmaster, not your family member.

What is this?

Sir, we just wanted your sign on this leave application.

Shiney sir, didn't you take two sick leaves last week?

Not at all, sir.

Not an SL, I just took a PL.

Now I am just taking four ELs and three CLs.

Then what is this PPL for one day?

Please, please leave me, sir.

And what about you?

Sir, it's my mother-in-law's birthday.

Sir, if I don't record her birthday vlog again this year,

she will be very angry.

Both of you teach the tenth grade.

I am thinking of holding extra classes,

but you are thinking of taking extra holidays?

-Sir-- -No, no, no.

I want good results on the boards.

Otherwise, we won't be able to go to Cambridge.

What?

Sir, Cambridge?

Oxford, Cambridge...

Our kids.

Won't they go there?
