- Roll no. 1. - Present Miss.

- Roll no. 2. - Yes Miss.

- 3. - Yes Miss.

A traveller whose name was Ramoji...

was passing through Lalpur village.

When Guru and Govind (God)... are standing before you...

who should you pay respect to first?

Okay.

Come on.

Now you come.

Here comes Hitler.

Now she’ll show-off her dictatorship.

Horrible color.

Mix it with some other color, Manjeet.

- Yes. - Bad choice.

We’ll conquer the entire state.

We’ll conquer.

We’ll...

Hello, ma’am.

If you do everything what will the kids do?

- Do it properly. Pull them up. - Yes.

Remember one thing.

You should always be able to see your parents.

Meaning... they should be able to see you.

If you stand behind each other...

- then you will not be seen. - Jyoti, can I see some rehearsals?

If you’ve finished giving instructions?

Okay.

Okay, children. From the beginning.

Nusrat, music.

One, two, three, four...

One, two, three, four!

One, two, three, four!

One, two, three, four!

Okay, that’s it.

Not good enough.

Change their steps.

Make it better.

Call the teachers, please.

Okay...

All teachers come here!

All teachers come here!

This is the entire schedule for tomorrow’s annual day...

along with your duty-charts.

Follow it exactly the way it is.

Don’t make any mistakes.

You’ve to report at exactly 8am tomorrow.

Why 8am?

The program starts at 12.

- Then why should we... - No arguments, please.

Principal’s orders.

Leave.

May I come in, ma’am?

- Please come in, Ms. Gupta. - Thank you.

Our Directors will arrive by 12pm tomorrow.

Trustee Mansukh bhai and his son Anmol’s coming too.

Anmol has done MBA from London.

Have we finished making all preparations?

Yes, I am personally supervising all the programs.

Here are the duty lists.

Good.

Very good.

Change the teacher’s reporting time to 10am instead of 8.

8 o’clock is too early.

Rest all is fine.

Sure.

I thought, tomorrow for the Annual Day...

I won’t have to rush to school.

But that Hitler... She won’t let anyone live in peace.

I am sure it’s her conspiracy to call everyone at 8 am in the morning.

She’s only using Principal madam’s name.

Keeps bossing the teachers around.

If only I could have it my way, I would...

Manjeet!

Aren’t you ashamed...

of humiliating your Supervisor?

What do you think?

Don’t we know what’s happening around the school?

She sounds exactly like Gupta.

I’ve spies all around.

Am I right, Rupa?

Yes, Madam. You can never be wrong.

Jyoti.

And you were smearing lipstick on your face.

Oh, God!

Stop it.

Very good.

Quiet!

Jyoti madam. Please tell me one thing.

You’re such a good actor.

You’re even a good dancer.

And I’ve even heard that...

you were a state-level badminton player.

- So, what I mean is... - Wait a minute.

Wait a minute, Mr. Chaturvedi.

Even in the staff room...

you sound like Tulsidas is tutoring his pupils.

Can’t you simply say...

“Jyoti, since you’re so talented...”

“...why don’t you take up some better profession?”

“Why did you choose to be an ordinary science teacher in Kanta Ben school?”

Come on, Manjeet. Ordinary teacher?

We should be proud that we’re in this noble profession.

Can you imagine... what this world would’ve been...

without a teacher.

“The fear of Algebra is none”

“When you learn it... it’s full of fun”

“The fear of Algebra is none”

“When you learn it... it’s full of fun”

“Once you know the values of X and Y”

“I promise you’ll score very high”

“So children...”

“Today we will solve this equation...”

“with the rule of...”

“B...”

“O...”

“D...”

“M...”

“A...”

“S...”

“BODMAS...!”

“Solve the brackets first”

“BODMAS...!”

“Orders come after that”

“BODMAS...!”

“Divide and multiply”

“BODMAS...!”

“Then you add then subtract”

“BODMAS...!”

“BODMAS...!”

“So children... now you all tell me what is the answer”

“46”

“Correct...”

“BODMAS...!”

“BODMAS...!”

“BODMAS...!”

“BODMAS...!”

“BODMAS...!”

“BODMAS...!”

Iqbal, what do you get if you give me a hug?

Chocolate!

Yes.

Today... two students in my class had birthdays.

Say thank you.

Thank you, madam.

Jyoti, how are your rehearsals going?

Rocking, sis.

Good. Shall we?

Your medicine.

What’s this?

The other day you were saying...

your knees have been paining?

You remembered?

And this miraculous medicine...

is prepared by a physician in our Jaipur.

Just apply it day and night...

and the pain will disappear.

- Try it... - But how much for this medicine?

O Pushpa, I’ll tell you... once you get some relief.

And let’s go.

Or else you’ll miss your 3:30 Local.

Let’s go.

So tell me.

- Bye, ma’am. - Bye.

- Do you imitate me as well? - You?

Never!

- Never. - Don’t lie.

- No. - Show me.

- No, no.. - Show me.

- Will you hit me? - No.

Promise?

Bye.

So children, I’ll teach you Algebra today.

- (x+y)2 = x2+y2+... - Come on.

Here you go.

Here.

- Stop. - Sorry, papa.

- Sorry, papa. Sorry. - Stop running. Stop.

- Papa, sorry. - Why are you hitting him?

He’s failed his exams. I’ll...

Will he pass if you hit him?

Son, why don’t you study?

I do, aunty.

I passed all subjects.

But maths seems a bit difficult.

And papa doesn’t send me to extra classes.

I drive a taxi all day...

and only then can I pay your fee.

He’s been studying in an English school...

so that he can be someone successful.

And not drive a taxi like his father.

- And he wants extra... - Stop.

I will tutor him.

- Who are you? - I am a teacher.

I stay in that Sai Sadan building.

Room. 203.

Send him to me at 7pm.

Will you tutor him for free?

You’ll take fee as well.

My fee will be...

that you’ll never hit your kids again.

Understand.

- All fine, Swati. - Yes.

- Hello, sir. - You’re back.

I’ve thought of really great moves...

This time you will surely lose.

Is that so?

So then you reset the game...

- and I’ll freshen up. - Of course.

Father.

This year’s CA result is only 7%.

And two years later are my exams as well.

- Now? - I am not worried.

Two years later, there will be a board...

hanging outside my daughter’s office.

‘Shilpa Manohar Sawant. Chartered Accountant.’

Is that so?

Done.

On that note, how about another round of tea?

Of course.

I’ll make it right away.

But... careful, papa.

Mom’s going to capture your queen again.

I’ll smack you.

Thank you.

Here, give this to your class students.

Them too.

Akhilesh. Come here, son.

Look, this question from the Quadratic Equations...

The sum of 2 numbers is 125...

Sunil.

Thakurji... get up.

Come on... Get up.

Jyoti!

Jyoti!

I am up, alright.

- Sunil. - Sorry. Sorry.

Always with the laptop.

Listen, you’ll have to drop Rahul at playschool today.

I’ve to get ready and leave early today.

It’s our school’s Annual Day and I’ve to pickup Vidya as well.

Good morning, ma’am.

What is this, Ms. Gupta?

I changed the teacher’s reporting time to 10am.

And yet they all arrived at 8? Why?

I want an explanation.

Didn’t you inform them.

I am asking you something?

I forgot.

- Forgot... - Good morning, ma’am.

What about her?

You didn’t forget to inform her.

Look, Ms. Gupta.

Don’t ever try to ignore any of my orders.

Consider it as a last warning.

Yes, ma’am.

Yes, ma’am!

“We’re the lamps of education”

“We’ll shine...”

“We’ll shine... in the world”

“All the darkness around...”

“We’ll diminish it”

“We’ll diminish it... from the world”

“We’re the lamps of education”

“We’ll shine...”

“We’ll shine... in the world”

“We’re the lamps of education”

“We’ll shine...”

“With the light... of education”

“You’ll spread around in all directions”

“Tomorrow... you’ll be the ones...”

“Taking care of the world”

“Prepare for it!”

“We’re the new generation daughters”

“We’re the new generation sons”

“Even mountains can’t stop us...”

“We’re like the strong waves”

“By clearing every obstacles”

"We'll fulfil our goals"

“We will...”

“The joy that’s meant for everyone”

“We’ll bring it...”

“We’ll bring it... to this world”

“We’re the lamps of education”

“We’ll shine...”

“We’ll shine... in the world”

Now, moving forward...

we would request our guest of honour...

Mr. Anmol Parekh to come on the stage...

and say a few words.

Are you serious?

Thank you.

Respected Principal and Trustees.

Thank you.

Thank you for this honour.

I am humbled.

Everyone’s performance was really nice.

I am really happy to see and know...

that the students of our school...

are so bright and so much talented.

And the best program of the day was the dance show.

Brilliant concept and superb composition.

And now I would like to congratulate the teacher...

who worked so hard to prepare this show.

Ms. Kamini Gupta.

Good morning, ma’am.

Sir...

Principal ma’am is here to see you.

Hi. May I come in?

Oh yes, please.

Please, Please, Please... Welcome by all means.

Welcome, Welcome... it’s a great pleasure...

to welcome the new principal of Kanta Ben.

Thank you, Anmol.

This is the limit.

They fired such a wonderful Principal...

and appointed that Gupta in her place.

And no one objected it.

Some people took objection...

favouring Mrs. Shashtri.

But finally... the entire Management had to agree.

But how did Gupta manage to pull this trick?

It’s really simple, Vidya ma’am.

Through Anmol Parekh.

But how did she get the upper hand on him.

What did Gupta have to offer?

This is Naresh Patel.

Chairman of DGM School.

His school is just one kilometre away from Kanta Ben.

But only celebrities and VIP’s children study in his school.

And their drivers and servants kids study in our school.

Do you know why?

Because Mrs. Shashtri grants admission to just anyone.

But I am going to change all that.

I am going to make sure that...

Kanta Ben becomes the school for the rich and famous.

And No.1.

I want my school to be No.1 in this area.

I promised you that.

And for that I’ll make few changes.

To begin with...

from this session, I’ll be hiking the school fee.

- What? Tea money? - Yes.

Sir said get money for the tea.

- Seven rupees for a cup of tea. - Have you lost your mind?

New Principal, New Rules!

Earlier our tea was complimentary on behalf of the school.

Now the new Principal must have refused to pay.

So that canteen guy won’t pay from his pocket.

We must improve the teaching standards.

We need upmarket teachers.

Okay.

Tell me more.

There are some teachers in our school...

who are over-aged and over-paid.

Without them, we can afford three teachers...

in their salary.

Young, pretty, smart.

And our school will get an international look.

Then fire them.

All these old teachers, throw them out of my school.

Throw them out.

We won’t fire them, Anmol.

They’ve been working here for a pretty long time.

It will raise many issues.

What if they quit themselves?

Fine. You can do as you want.

I won’t interfere.

Just make my school No.1.

And...

I’ll make you one of the Directors here.

Come, Sis... I’ll drop you home today.

- Thank you. - You will all have to wait.

Because Gupta madam’s called for a meeting.

Meeting?

At this hour?

Here...

Drink this hot cup of tea and calm your mind.

Thakurayin, how does it matter?

Whether the management appoints Hitler as the Principal...

or Saddam Hussain.

What do we care?

Look, our life is really simple.

Just like a computer CPU.

I am the Hard Disk, you’re the Mother Board...

and our Rahul is the Processor.

And your job’s like a RAM.

As long as it’s working, it’s okay.

When it goes bad, we’ll change it.

So... switch on the Refresh button of your mind.

Finish your tea... and we’ll go out.

Right, Thakurayin.

That’s more like it. Come on.

“O Life...”

“Our friendship is pretty old”

“Your story is like the sun and shade”

“Your eyes... filled with hopes and expectations”

“Sometimes it’s empty and...”

“sometimes filled to the brink”

“Sometimes it becomes a stranger”

“Sometimes it gets upset and becomes friends again”

“This life...”

“O Life...”

“Our friendship is pretty old”

“Your story is like the sun and shade”

“Some images from my dreams”

“Some unseen shackles holding me”

“Some incomplete conversations”

“Some pretty and happy memories”

“Some silent... prayers”

“Some... sweet days and faded nights”

“All the past and the future moments”

“Walk with you holding your hands”

“This life...”

“O Life...”

Naresh bhai, I spoke to you about...

TV actor Jai Kapoor son’s admission in DGM school.

Oh yeah...

Introduce him to Principal Rao.

Okay.

- And the boy better be good, huh! - Of course.

- You know merit works in our school. - Yeah.

- Are you planning for dramatics? - Yeah, I am trying.

- Mr. Naresh. - Let’s see.

Hi, Dhiren.

- I am good, how are you? - Just fine.

Mansukh’s son.

- Hello, sir. - Hi, how are you?

- Very good, sir. - Nice to see you.

- He did his MBA from London. - Fantastic!

Now what’s the business plan in India?

Education, sir.

You know it’s the best business in this country.

And by the way, sir, even we have a school.

Obviously, not as big as yours.

Your DGM school is no.1 in this area.

I... I feel really jealous.

Mr. Anmol.

Not just in this area...

his DGM schools are best in the entire state.

Yeah, of course. I do agree.

Sir, I am striving to make my school...

much more famous than yours.

- I like your confidence. - Of course, sir.

I will do it.

And you will see I will do it, sir.

Good. All the best. But keep education as education.

- Not as business. - Yeah, sir.

- All the best. - Thank you.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning, children. Settle down fast.

Thank you, madam.

Good morning, madam.

Good morning.

Thank you, madam.

Madam...

- Shankar. Shankar. - Our chairs are missing from the classroom.

No chairs in our class either.

Mine either.

- No chair in the classroom. - Santosh.

What’s going on?

What’s going on? What’s this meeting about?

Go back to your classes.

There are no chairs in the classroom.

Principal ma’am had them taken out.

She says, if you tutor the children while standing...

it creates discipline.

And the children stay alert.

But we do teach on our while standing.

Then why do you need chairs?

But ma’am, we need to take attendance...

No arguments. Go to your classes.

- But... - I said go to your classes.

Surprising!

- Roll no.1. - Present Miss.

- Roll no.2. - Present Miss.

- Roll no.3. - Present Miss.

New infrastructure, air-conditioned classes...

with smart-board and cameras, international board...

new library, new laboratories, swimming pool.

Tennis court...

And many more projects.

Respected members of the parents-teachers association.

This is how Kanta Ben school will look in the coming years.

And you’ll be glad to know...

that the Management has already given their approval.

But... there are some issues...

...where I’ll need your help.

And then our school will be no. 1.

Madam, anything you say.

Orographic rains.

Pinto ma’am. You’ve a proxy.

Proxy? Whose?

Rupa madam.

Please take up class in 8B.

Because Rupa madam is busy with the Principal in a urgent meeting.

Look, ma’am.

Next.

And look at this. The embroidery...

And look at this.

- How’s this? - Nice.

- Show me something else. - Yes.

The Equator is a line running through the earth...

Write properly.

Here you go.

Nusrat madam.

Mr. Sharma from Accounts has sent this for you.

Madam...

I just received a notice.

It states that I haven’t paid my son Iqbal’s fee.

But... his fee was exempted...

because I teach here.

And teachers get an exemption.

They did... but you’ll have to pay the fee from this year.

But madam... how can I do it?

The school has even hiked the fee.

And you know... that Iqbal’s father is dead.

Then... how can I alone...

So... what’s the big deal?

I am single too.

You see Nusrat.

This Single status... only looks nice on Matrimonial sites.

Not in management decisions.

Not applicable.

You may go now.

But, ma’am.

Leave now.

Loser!

Page 22... chapter 5.

Class... open your books.

Oh, God!

Laxmi.

Laxmi, muster.

Shankar just took it to Rupa madam.

Shankar.

Shankar.

Shankar.

Madam, here you go.

Sorry. There was a traffic jam on the road.

I am 4 minutes late.

You should’ve started 4 minutes early from home, Manjeet.

I left home at right time, Rupa.

- But... - Hey...

Madam.

Call me madam.

Madam, please.

No, Manjeet. You’ll definitely get a red mark.

You should learn to be disciplined.

You’ll teach me discipline!

You’ll teach me discipline!

First learn some manners from me.

“No Manjeet... you’ll definitely get a red mark.” Huh!

Now I’ll slap you until your cheeks turn red.

2nd Red mark.

3rd Red mark.

4th Red mark.

- Call me madam. - Sorry.

Bloody madam...

You look like a toad.

Call me madam.

I’ll make you a madam.

I’ll make you madam.

Madam.

Madam!

How was it, madam?

You did the right thing?

Madam!

Manjeet.

Manjeet.

Manjeet!

Why are you laughing?

I was only practising to call you madam.

Madam.

- It’s okay. - Thank you...

Madam.

I haven’t seen Nusrat today.

She’s getting Iqbal admitted in a different school.

It is so unfair.

We tutor others kids as our own.

And our kids have to study in a different school.

Have you seen the new time-table?

My subjects have been increased.

They gave me Hindi as well.

How’s that?

You’re an Arts and Crafts teacher.

If you teach Hindi...

what will Mr. Chaturvedi teach?

What nonsense.

A highly qualified Hindi teacher...

turned into a PT instructor.

Why is Gupta doing this?

I think this is the preparation...

for Mr. Chaturvedi’s farewell.

Farewell? Where’s he going?

He isn’t, he’s being fired.

Mr. Chaturvedi is Gupta’s first target.

Meaning?

It means... he’s been given ‘Physical Training'...

and he isn’t physically fit for it.

Poor Mr. Chaturvedi...

will soon grow tired, give up and quit his job.

Or fired as surplus.

- Shilpa. - Coming, mom.

Water. Drink some water.

Are you not well.

Mom, why are your feet swollen?

I’ll get some hot water.

I’ll be right back.

Is it too hot?

Stop it, mom. How much more are you going to work?

You’ve done enough. Take some rest now.

Only until you finish your CA.

Just two more years.

Then you can earn, and we’ll rest.

She’s never going to rest.

She’ll always be doing social service.

Even if she quits her job...

she’ll still keep tutoring her needy students.

- That's all. - Yes.

But not today, mom.

I’ll send the kids back today.

No, Shilpa. Their exams are close-by.

Only for a little while.

They will pass with goods marks, dear.

And what if they do pass with flying colours?

Then... I’ll get the same happiness...

that Ramakant Acharekar did when...

Sachin Tendulkar would hit a century.

See.

It's 99, mom.

Take a leave from school and rest at home.

Otherwise your fever will get worse.

No... 99 not out.

I would’ve taken a leave if it was 100.

Just give me a pill for the fever.

- And watch me bat again. - Mom!

See... Litmus paper turns... blue!

- This means the solution is a... - Base.

If it was acidic, then the colour would turn too...

Red.

Very good.

I’ll give you the easiest formula... to learn Trigonometry.

“Pandit Badri Prasad Hari Hari Bol... Sona Chandi Tol”

Okay.

So that’s...

“Pandit Badri Prasad...”

"Hari Hari Bol..."

"Sona Chandi Tol.”

P for... Perpendicular.

- B for Badri... B for... - Base.

- H for Hari... H for... - Hypotenuse.

That’s right.

“Sona Chandi Tol.”

Sine Cos Tan.

P/B.

Now copy all this in your notebook.

Okay.

Okay.

Good morning madam.

Sit down.

Thank you, madam.

Vidya ma’am.

You should be ashamed.

You were sleeping on the children’s seat.

I wasn’t sleeping, Rupa.

I wrote down the notes...

and the children were copying them.

I see... did you check whether they’re copying or not?

Or you didn’t think it was necessary.

I do check.

You weren’t checking, you were sleeping.

I wasn’t sleeping, why are you creating a scene.

I am creating a scene?

This is the way you talk to your supervisor?

- But you can’t just go on... - What’s going on?

See, ma’am.

She was sleeping on the children’s seat.

When I asked for an explanation...

she is arguing with me.

- I wasn’t arguing, I was just... - Now you’re arguing with me.

I am not arguing, I was only telling her what happened.

Actually... I am not well.

I have fever and I couldn’t stand properly...

If you’ve fever please sit at home.

Why take the trouble of coming to school?

You simply wrote some questions on the blackboard.

But not a clue whether the children are noting it down...

or drawing cartoons in their books.

Excuse me... in my class...

children only study during study time.

They don’t draw cartoons.

Excuse me!

Good morning, madam.

- Good morning. - Thank you, madam.

Let’s have a surprise test.

How many of you know about Trigonometry?

But this is the first lesson...

Only three hands?

You? What’s your name?

Ma’am... Rohan.

Rohan, come here.

Explain Trigonometry.

Come on.

'Pandit Badri Prasad Hari Hari Bol...'

'Sona Chandi Tol.'

'Pandit Badri...'

'Prasad...'

'Hari Hari Bol...'

'Sona Chandi Tol.'

Rupa.

Yes, ma’am.

Please come outside.

Unbelievable.

Are you teaching them maths or Sanskrit?

I’m trying to take this school to international standards.

And you’re teaching...

“ Pandit Badri Prasad Hari Hari Bol” in maths class.

- But that’s the simplest formula... - That’s the most...

outdated formula, ma’am!

Can I make a suggestion?

Why don’t you take voluntary retirement?

Isn’t that what you want?

We all get fed up and quit school.

So you can appoint new teachers as per your will...

and they can be your sycophants!

How dare you?

- Do you know who you’re talking to? - Yes, I know and now you listen to me.

It’s our bad luck that you’ve been appointed as our senior.

Forget about doing a single good thing.

You only like to assert your power...

because you’re a sadist and you enjoy torturing teachers.

I haven’t started enjoying yet, Vidya Sawant.

I’ll really enjoy when I chuck you out of this school.

I see... is it that easy?

On what grounds?

I don’t give explanations.

I just take actions.

Vidya!

Ma’am.

Ma’am.

Have some water, ma’am.

Vidya, are you okay?

Are you okay, sister?

Sister?

What happened?

Termination Letter.

Parents complaints against Vidya ma’am.

Outdated... incapable... incompetent teacher.

Parent’s complaints.

In writing... against me.

Am I incompetent?

No, ma’am.

I don’t know how to teach.

This is wrong.

Don’t think like that.

Sister.

Ma’am... Ma’am...

Sister.

Ma’am...

- See the reaction here... - Jyoti miss, come quickly.

Something’s wrong with Vidya ma’am.

Sister...

Sister...

Sister...

Sister, please... don’t close your eyes.

Sister.

Sister.

Raghu, hurry up.

How much longer. Drive faster.

Hello, Shilpa.

It was a heart-attack.

We’ve thrombolysed her.

First we’ll conduct an angiography...

and then decide whether we should do an angioplasty...

or a open-heart surgery.

Please deposit 50,000 at the reception and make a file.

Excuse me.

I care.

I care for my students.

And I care for my teachers.

And I always reward the winners.

Mr. Rao, the All India Quiz winners...

must be rewarded by our Management as well.

Where’s our picnic going? To Manali?

Yes, sir.

See to it that the teachers and the students... get free passes.

- Please. - Definitely sir.

Let’s have a picture.

By the way, Mr. Rao.

What was Kanta Ben school’s position in this quiz competition?

Sir, they didn’t participate at all.

Oh, really.

And that idiot Anmol Parekh wanted to compete with us.

Sir, I’ve heard that their principal...

insulted one of their senior teachers.

And also terminated her.

Poor teacher, she got a heart-attack.

Oh, that’s bad.

Why didn’t you tell me this before?

I thought that it’s their...

I should know everything about Kanta Ben school.

And not just me, everyone must know.

Anmol Parekh wants to make his school famous.

I’ll help him.

Can I speak to Ms. Bhairavi Thakkar please?

'A well-known institute like Kanta Ben High School...'

'fired their senior teacher, Vidya Sawant from her job...'

'stating that she doesn’t know how to teach.'

'Vidya Sawant, who’s been teaching there...'

'for the last 28 years, was so shocked...'

'that she suffered a heart-attack.'

'Right now she’s in the hospital...'

'and her condition seems critical.'

'As you can see...'

'there’s no one present here on behalf of the school or the management.'

'So is Vidya Sawant actually incapable of teaching?'

'Or is there some kind of ruse behind her termination.'

Yes.

Principal, what’s happening in my school?

I am surprised myself, Anmol.

It was a very small matter.

It was a small school matter.

No idea how it turned so big. Utter nonsense.

Wait a minute.

I do see some sense in this nonsense.

We’re getting free publicity...

that we don’t even spare our senior teachers...

when it comes to our student’s education and discipline.

And you know... any publicity is good publicity.

Fine.

Let’s come straight to the point.

The media’s inquiring about Vidya’s case.

If they question anyone...

I would like you to say that “Vidya hasn’t been keeping well”.

“Vidya was an incapable teacher.”

“Vidya couldn’t understand the new syllabus.”

And “Parents would complain against Vidya”.

Hope I am clear.

Vidya has been fired.

And you know why?

Because she was a question mark on the reputation of this school.

And I hate question marks.

I like full stops.

And I would like to put a full stop in this school...

on Vidya Sawant’s case.

Alright then, leave.

Madam... none of them will say anything.

They’re not the problem.

But what about that Jyoti?

So fine, Mr. Sunil.

Send us quotation for 30 computers and 10 laptops.

And I promise you, we won’t ask you for a discount.

I’ll approve it.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Oh yeah...

Tell Jyoti that I’ve promoted her to Supervisor’s post.

Tell her to join school... immediately.

Thank you.

Here you go, Thakurayin. Your orange juice.

Look, according to me it’s not a bad proposal.

You’re getting promoted...

increment in salary.

We’ll pay the car’s EMI with the extra money.

Don’t think too much.

Sunil.

What happens if someone can’t pay the car loans EMI?

What else?

The bank officials will take the car back, what else?

And why are you thinking about this nonsense?

Look... how long are you going to stay here?

Vidya will take time to recover.

How long will you keep taking leave from school?

Don’t you want to do your job?

- You can take a half-day as well. - Hello.

State Bank of Patiyala.

Can I talk to Mrs. Mhatre?

Ma’am, this is Jyoti Thakur. Kanta Ben school’s teacher.

Yes, I’ve a salaried account in your bank.

I took a car loan from your bank and gave PDCs too.

Ma’am, I want to discontinue this car loan.

Please take the car back.

Yes, thank you ma’am.

What did you do?

Have you lost your mind?

I haven’t lost my mind, you’ve become selfish.

Did you ever think...

why Gupta called only you for the computer deal?

Because... she wants to buy my silence through you.

You don’t have to say it out loud.

She wants to make me the supervisor...

so that I keep my mouth shut.

And you... listened to her...

and were trying to convince me.

You’re supporting her instead of us.

- I thought... - No! You should be ashamed, Sunil.

And now you please...

go and sell your computers to Gupta.

And don’t ever talk to me.

Jyoti.

All teachers and staff, attention please.

Come down to the assembly hall.

All teachers and staff, attention please.

Please come down to the assembly hall right away.

I repeat...

Please come down to the assembly hall.

I called you all here.

To tell you that you’re scared of this Gupta for no reason.

No need to be scared of her...

because she’s scared out of her wits herself.

Jyoti, behave yourself.

Hey sycophant... you behave yourself.

And call me madam.

Jyoti madam. The would-be Supervisor.

All I need to do is say yes.

Ask her.

Am I right Kamini Gupta?

You don’t get it, do you?

Allow me to explain.

The Principal madam had this conversation with my husband Sunil.

She offered me the supervisor’s post.

Showed him the greed of a contract for new computers.

Do you know why?

So that I don’t expose her.

About how she takes undue advantage of our need for this job.

Exploits the teachers.

And this is why... Vidya’s in the hospital today.

Nusrat, am I right?

Pinto ma’am?

Manjeet?

Say it.

Did you get your answer?

Prepare her termination letter.

Stop.

I’ve already brought my resignation letter.

With reason to resign.

And that is you.

But I won’t give it to only you.

I’ll send three more copies.

First... to the Education Inspector.

Second... Teacher’s Union.

And Third... The management.

Everyone should know what’s going on in the school.

Good idea.

In fact... there’s a Xerox machine in our office.

Why don’t you make 100-200 copies?

You can give it to anyone you want.

You can even send it to Delhi.

In fact, do let me know if you need my help.

Oh yeah... let me clear your misunderstanding.

They didn’t come here because you called.

They came here hearing my voice.

And even you came hearing that voice... Kamini Gupta.

And as far as support’s concerned.

A person’s real support is his own karma.

His honesty... his self-respect...

which you challenged.

And now I’ll give you an answer.

You like moving chairs, don’t you?

Now another chair’s going to move.

Yours!

Thakurayin, where are you going?

Sorry.

You know my mind.

Sometimes the hard disk gets corrupted.

But it’s better now.

Please, say yes.

"You've made me realise"

"Hard times are temporary"

"Step up to overcome the darkness"

"Choose to stay in the light of truth"

"Weave out a new sun"

"Spread the light and brightness among all"

"All the past and the future moments"

“Walk with you holding your hands”

"O life..."

'Hello.'

'This is Bhairavi Thakkar, welcoming you...'

'to India News special presentation, Abhiyaan.'

'Today we’re going to talk about Teachers.'

'Teachers...meaning Guru.'

'Gurus who have been given...'

'a higher place than God in our scriptures.'

'Parents give birth...'

'while teachers impart knowledge.'

'One such teacher is present here with us.'

'Kanta Ben High School’s Msc B.ED teacher...'

- 'Jyoti Thakur.' - 'Hello.'

Please tell us, how did you get into teaching profession?

I once heard it is a noble profession.

And you just said that...

these things have been written for Gurus in our scriptures.

But I believe that it remained in the scriptures.

No one implied it in real life.

That’s Jyoti ma’am, my school teacher.

If it was true... then Vidya ma’am wouldn’t be in hospital today.

Let me tell the viewers, that Vidya Sawant is the same teacher...

whom Kanta Ben school humiliated and fired her from her job.

Sorry Bhairavi, the school didn’t terminate her.

- The current system did. - System?

How’s that?

Our system. Especially the education system.

For example...

- Come on, it’ll be fun. - Those who are in Defence.

get a lot of respect... and amenities.

Like... a home for staying. Travelling allowance.

Medical facilities. Canteen... etcetera.

And they should get all this.

Because they protect our country.

And what about those... who educate the country?

Don’t they have a right to any respect or amenities?

- Sahil. - Huh?

Take Multinational Companies for example.

That’s my teacher.

They do everything possible for the comfort of their workers.

Even if you start at a Call-centre...

their starting salary is just as much as Vidya madam’s salary...

after 28 years of service.

And I challenge you...

none of them is as educated as Vidya ma’am.

The only difference is the profession.

The company car picks them up and drops them home.

We teachers... don’t even get concessions...

in trains or busses.

But teachers get respect.

Respect?

In our country, only those people get respect...

whose got a high-paying salary. Power.

Politicians get respect, film-stars, cricketers.

They are made chief guests...

invited to cut ribbons.

Have you ever heard of a teacher being a celebrity...

and she was invited to inaugurate something?

Have you ever seen any teacher...

arriving in a BMW or a AUDI?

Wearing loin-cloth and kurta...

walking on foot, wearing slippers and holding umbrella in hand.

That’s the image of a teacher.

And it’s true.

Compared to a teacher’s salary...

they barely manage to make ends meet.

Don’t teachers get...

some kind of allowance or subsidy from the government?

We do get allowance.

Teachers get an allowance...

for standing 3 hours during SSC exams and supervise.

Do you know how much?

25 rupees.

Only 25 rupees?

And 4.25 rupees for checking one answer sheet.

How much?

4.25 rupees.

25 paise which has stopped...

still implies on us teachers.

And this money comes from the government, and not the school.

Bhairavi, even after working so hard...

teachers have no job security.

They can be fired from their job at any time.

Is that so?

Sometimes as surplus...

or sometimes by calling us incapable.

Just like Kanta Ben fired Vidya ma’am.

No one cares about how qualified a particular teacher is...

or about her experience.

All they care is they have to pay less money.

And untrained, unqualified people are appointed in their place.

That’s very sad.

Jyoti, what would you like to say in the end?

I don’t want to say anything.

I just want to ask...

How can anyone forget their teachers?

Do the progressive people of our progressive country...

remember the name of their teacher...

who taught them ABC?

Or... taught them the tables.

From KG to SSC and then college.

Many teachers bathed you in the pool of their knowledge.

But what did you give them in return?

Did anyone think about wishing their teacher good morning...

or how are you ma’am, or Happy Diwali or even Happy New Year.

Just like the students need...

their teacher’s knowledge, similarly...

the teachers need their students love and respect.

Everyone in our country...

talks about the bond between Dronacharya and Arjun.

Right now Dronacharya is sick.

She’s in the hospital...

and she’s in need.

I want to know... where are her Arjun.

Where are they?

Answer me.

Not even one of them...

come up to ask about her teacher’s condition.

Thank you, Jyoti.

So this is the current condition of teachers.

There should be a new beginning in the lives of the teachers.

A change is required in the society.

And so India News will continue this.

Good night.

Did you see Jyoti madam’s interview yesterday?

No. what was it in it?

Baby, you missed it.

First download the video, and show it to your friends.

I want every student to watch this interview.

Honestly, she’s right.

We’ve actually forgotten our teachers.

Yes.

You know guys, I found the numbers of all my teachers...

and sent them a good morning message.

- Good morning, sir. - Good morning.

Good morning.

- Let’s meet after class. - Yes, of course.

- Good morning, sir. - Morning.

- Good morning, sir. - Good. Morning.

Vijay sir, are they all feeling okay?

I guess they saw Bhairavi’s program yesterday.

- Look, sir. - Hi, guys.

Even I sent my teacher good morning message.

- Nice. - Yes, sir.

Bhairavi.

Kanta Ben school’s MD Mr. Parekh’s on the line.

Put him on hold for a while.

Tell him I am busy.

What’s wrong, son?

- What... - The...

- She put me on hold. - Okay, cool.

No problem.

Bhairavi here.

- Okay? - How dare you?

How dare you?

You humiliated my school over the media.

I’ll sue you in the court of law for this, do you get that?

Then call your lawyer, stop wasting my time.

- Hey you... - Anmol.

Anmol. Anmol. Anmol.

Bhairavi, we should be helping each other.

- You’re a Gujarati, and so... - Talk in Hindi.

Our national language.

Even my interview was in Hindi.

And I work for a national news channel. Get that?

You’re such a rude girl.

You’re a Gujarati, I am a Gujarati so I am trying to explain you...

I am like a father to you.

Excuse me, you’re not my daddy.

And my papa is a very nice man.

He never filches anyone’s rights.

And stop ranting about “I am Gujarati”.

What’s so special about you being a Gujarati?

Our Gujarat is known by Sardar Patel, Mahatma Gandhi.

Not by people like you.

Understand.

Well, since even our Prime Minister is a Gujarati now...

I’ll explain you in Gujarati.

Give your school teachers their due rights...

or else I will ruin you.

Glory to Goddess.

'Everyone in our country...'

'talks about the bond between Dronacharya and Arjun.'

'Right now Dronacharya is sick.'

'She’s in the hospital...'

'and she’s in need.'

'I want to know...where are her Arjun.'

'Where are they?'

Just watch, I am going to win.

Hello, brother.

We’re Vidya madam’s Arjun!

We’re starting a rally in her support.

Will you join us?

But we never studied in her school.

Yes. She’s not our teacher.

But brother, she is a teacher after all.

Fine, if you’re not Arjun...

you can definitely be her Eklavya.

Yes, brother.

Eklavya Singh.

Is that so? Let’s go.

- Blessed is the person... - who says 'God is Truth'!

The LED artery is 100 percent blocked.

Stint is deployed. Angioplasty is successful.

Ms. Gupta, please come.

- Hello, Ms. Kamini. - Hello.

- Hello. - Have a seat.

After you.

Ms. Gupta.

This is the chief editor of 3S News Channel.

Mr. Avinash Kumar.

Well, Mr. Avinash, ma’am... sirs...

all I would like to say is, with big powers...

come big responsibility.

I am the principal...

of a prestigious school like Kanta Ben.

I mean... the school’s been named after...

sir’s great grandmother.

I can’t give you any reasons to let you down, sir.

Our school’s showing such considerable progress...

and many rich families are applying for admission...

during this session.

So, in order to match their standards...

we’ll have to bring up our teaching standards too, sir.

I don’t want incompetent teachers, and...

it’s such a big issue.

Excuse me.

Can I have a glass of water, please?

- Ours is a private school. - Thank you.

We can keep or fire whoever we want.

It’s our decision.

Who are these people?

We’re not sitting here to do social work.

- Mr. Avinash. - Yes.

What must we do?

I suggest Mansukh, that we apologise and end this matter.

What? We will apologies to those worthless and useless teachers?

I am Anmol Parekh, I never apologised to anyone.

What crap is this, dad?

You see sir... once we apologise...

then they will blame the management for every mistake.

Correct.

Today it’s just two people raising their voices...

tomorrow it can be ten.

Will we apologise to everyone?

Right, Mr. Avinash.

I also feel whatever she’s saying is right.

According to me, you should all stick to your stand...

that Vidya and Jyoti are incapable of teaching.

And there’s no way for these teachers...

to prove their capability.

And I will...

handle the rest.

Thanks for your support.

'One of Mumbai’s reputed school, Kanta Ben...'

'dismissed two of its teachers, Vidya Sawant and Jyoti Thakur.'

'But why?'

'There must be some reason behind it.'

'We’ll bring you the truth on 3S news network.'

'Come, let’s talk to Kanta Ben’s principal Kamini Gupta...'

'It’s a competitive era.'

'We need new syllabus, and people with new ideas.'

'We require updated teachers...'

'with pretty high IQ levels.'

'We can’t allow such incompetent teachers...'

'and play with the future of our children.'

'Yes.'

'Look... Vidya’s method of teaching maths...'

'is very old and very outdated.'

'And Jyoti’s more interested...'

'in mimicry, dance rather than teaching science.'

'I need good teachers for my school...'

'Not jokers!'

'Thank you, Ms. Kamini.'

'And now they have only one motive...'

'behind telling their fake sob story to the media.'

'To make you emotional and gain your sympathy.'

'Please don’t hand the future of your children...'

'who are not good teachers.'

'They are fake.'

'And as far as her heart-attack’s concerned...'

'let’s talk to famous cardiologist Dr. IP Singh...'

'who’s present with us in our studio.'

- 'Doctor, it’s been said that...' - Hey.

What’s up, Bhairavi? How are you?

Manish, I want to clobber that guy with my shoe.

I am sure the management’s bribed him.

After watching his show people will be confused...

about who they should believe.

We received some mails on the India News ID.

They might be useful to you. It might help you.

Thank you.

“Our friendship... is pretty old”

Shilpa.

Mom.

Mom... you’re awake.

Wait. I’ll go inform the doctor.

How is your father?

Mom.

Here you go... talk to father yourself.

I’ll be right back.

Hello, Shilpa. Is everything okay?

Hello, sir.

How are you?

You’re in the hospital...

and you’re asking about my condition?

There are people here to look after me.

But you’re all alone.

No, I am not alone either.

All your students come here, everyday... to study.

And they also take care of my food.

Look... Vinita made tea for me.

I am reaping the rewards of my wife’s good deeds.

Look after yourself, we’ll meet soon.

Vidya... I’ve thought about some new chess moves.

This time I will definitely defeat you.

I see.

You reset the game.

See you soon.

And we’re all waiting for our Vidya ma’am.

Isn’t it?

- Isn’t it? - We love you, ma’am get well soon.

Love you.

Did you hear?

Come soon.

“O life...”

- “Our friendship... is pretty old” - Manjeet, this is from me.

Thanks.

Madam. This is from us... from Vidya madam.

Thank you.

Let’s go give this to her today evening.

She will need it.

"When I look... into your eyes"

"One moment I find them empty and other filled with hopes"

O Pushpa...

You’re looking so fresh, so nice.

Should I call your students?

I’ll hit you.

Sister, I say you should hit her some day.

It’s not my cup of tea. Only you can do it.

Quiet.

See...

Hi, Bhairavi.

Vidya ma’am is feeling much better now.

Yeah. Okay.

Today evening at 7pm.

'Hello.'

'This is Bhairavi Thakkar...'

'bringing you a new twist in the Vidya Sawant-Jyoti Thakur case.'

'Some people raised a question that...'

'are they capable teachers.'

'Do they know how to teach?'

'Are they really capable of...'

'fulfilling the responsibility of a teacher.'

'We’ll give you the answer to all these questions.'

'Let’s take a look.'

'Hi, I am Sameer Sharma.'

'The Deputy-Director of NASA.'

'We calculate the distance of stars and planets from earth.'

'And Vidya ma’am...'

'taught me my life’s first calculation.'

'I hope you remember me, ma’am.'

'I am a scientist. But, Vidya ma’am...'

'inspired by you, I also tutor kids.'

'So kids, what are we studying today?'

'Trigonometry.'

'And what is trigonometry.'

“Pandit Hari Prasad Hari Hari Bol... Sona Chandi Tol.”

'Excellent.'

'I still remember.'

'You taught me this basic mantra of trigonometry...'

'and I am teaching it ahead.'

'I called it Vidya’s formula.'

'Ma’am, please get well soon.'

'We love you a lot and you’re the best.'

'I am Zakhir Khan.'

'Vidya Ma’am.'

'I still remember, I was flying paper planes in your class.'

'And instead of getting furious...'

'you stroked my hair and said, This is no fun.'

“If you really want to fly, then fly real planes.”

'Those words touched my heart, ma’am.'

'Today I am flying fighter planes in the Indian Air Force.'

'Thank you so much ma’am for motivating me.'

'Hello, I am Purnima Rajvansh.'

'I work for the World Health Organization (WHO).'

'Jyoti ma’am was my science teacher.'

'Jyoti ma’am, with all your blessings...'

'I am doing research on the Ebola virus.'

'And soon I’ll even make a vaccination too.'

'People who doubt your capability are really stupid.'

'Hi, I am Deepak Rajgour.'

'A leading chartered accountant.'

'I spent my childhood in the slums.'

'I was weak in maths.'

'Vidya ma’am would tutor many kids for free.'

'She made us successful.'

'Vidya ma’am is responsible for my success.'

'Thank you, ma’am.'

'Vidya ma’am would tutor many kids for free.'

'And look, now I am a civil engineer.'

'Hi, this is Vikas Mehra.'

'Major, Indian Army.'

'Hi, I am Jankriti Singh, Assistant Commissioner of Police.'

'Vidya ma'am and Jyoti ma'am you've taught me a great lesson.'

'The harder the struggle the more glorious the triumph.'

'Satyamev Jayate.'

'We’re the IIT toppers.'

'Jyoti ma’am and Vidya ma’am were our teachers.'

'Love you ma’am, you’re the best.'

'These were her ex-students...'

'who have secured high posts all over the world.'

'And now let’s meet with her present students..'

'Young kids... who are the future of our country.'

'Vidya ma’am, Jyoti ma’am...we miss you a lot.'

'You’re a very good teacher.'

'Come back to school, please.'

'Vidya Sawant and Jyoti Thakur’s students...'

'sent us so many videos, that it’s not possible...'

'to show them all here.'

'But this clearly proves that...'

'both the teachers are equally loved by their students.'

'The student’s tutored by them have attained...'

- 'such fame and respect in the world...' - You did all this, didn’t you?

No, sister...

It’s the reward of what you did all your life.

'...that is the achievement of the experienced teachers.'

'The decision is in your hands.'

'That’s all in this special report.'

'This is Bhairavi Thakkar...'

'and we’ll keep bringing you more updates.'

Kamble, give the phone to the Minister.

- Good evening, sir. - Good evening.

This way, sir.

Excuse me.

Ms. Vidya, this is...

Hello, Vidya ma’am.

Recognise me?

1992 batch.

Everyone used to call me JD.

But not you.

You used to say “JD sounds like the name of a smuggler”.

You used to call me Javed.

Javed Durani?

Sorry, I didn’t recognise you.

You’ve changed so drastically.

But you haven’t changed at all.

You’re still my Vidya ma’am.

Ting!

Isn’t that what I used to do in class?

I am sorry, ma’am.

Actually, I was in London...

that’s why I found out really late about you.

But now I am here.

BP is normal, sugar is in check.

Everything is okay.

Doctor, I want somebody with her 24/7.

And keep informing me directly about her health updates.

- Okay? - Sure, sir.

And you, ma’am.

You’ll just rest. Only rest.

Otherwise for the first time...

a student will have to scold his teacher.

Take care.

How can she rest?

We’ll have to arrange for the hospital bill.

Vidya ma’am, your ex-student, Dr. Javed...

is a leading heart-surgeon of our country.

And also the director of this hospital.

All your bills have been waived off.

And sir has given orders...

to shift you to VIP ward, because you’re her favourite teacher.

How sweet.

Come.

Welcome, sir.

We ministers have high expectations with officers like you.

Get the teacher’s case sorted out.

It’s created a lot of stir.

Sir, when to capable teachers are insulted and fired from the school...

it’s bound to create a stir.

Right.

Right.

But you know, I’ll get them a better job...

with better salary.

Plus, I’ll tell Mr. Parekh to pay them one million each.

But sir, why a different school?

Why?

Why don’t these people admit their mistake?

Rich people.

Big people...

Big people are never wrong.

You see, they’ll shake up the system...

but never budge from their stand.

Right?

Look, sir. Since it’s a private school...

officially we cannot do anything.

S***

But yes... on a personal level.

Sir, I want a meeting with both the parties.

Consider it done.

- Done. - Yeah.

Done. Done.

Good, sir.

Are you sure?

- Will this solve the problem? - Definitely, sir.

Live... in front of everyone.

Right now they have the public’s sympathy.

So let the public only decide.

But... isn’t the amount a bit too high.

Only if we let them win.

Mr. Rajiv, this will work only on one condition.

It’ll be our questions.

And I will make the questions?

Okay, done.

I’ll put your name in Selector’s panel.

What if we lose?

Mom, I think we should take sir’s advice.

Let’s take the one million...

and you can get a job in Virar itself.

No, Shilpa.

This will prove the school right, and us wrong.

We’ll have to give this trial.

Right, sister?

Sister, I suggest there’s no need to do all this.

Everyone knows what the truth is.

Everyone also knew that Sita was chaste...

yet she had to give a trial.

When it can happen in Ram’s reign...

then this is the Modern era.

We’re ready.

I knew that would be your answer.

I’ll make the preparations.

Mom. Teacher aunt’s back.

Careful, mom.

How are you?

Come.

Come on.

Yes, yes.

Yes, Mr. Deepak.

Yes.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Okay, done.

Thank you.

Congratulations.

Thank you very much.

Hello, good evening.

I am Rishi Kapoor...

welcoming all of you to India News’ special program.

As you all know...

Kanta Ben school dismissed two of their teachers...

Mrs. Vidya Sawant and Mrs. Jyoti Thakur...

calling them outdated and incapable.

And this quiz contest has been organized...

to test their capability.

And you’re watching it being telecast live.

Papa, mom’s on television.

They will be asked 10 questions...

which has been set by the Principal Kamini Gupta...

and a neutral panel.

The question can be on any topic...

and the prize money is huge.

50 million rupees.

50 million.

50 million.

50 million.

Yes... if they answer all 10 questions correctly...

then you will give them 50 million...

re-instate them in your school, and...

publicly apologise to them.

Do you two accept?

Yes, I know.

Agreement, please.

Mansukh bhai, what is this loot?

This is no loot, Prem bhai.

The prize money is just a bait...

which these fishes have taken.

Vidya and Jyoti, if you lose this contest...

then your teaching career will be over forever.

And do you agree, that if you lose...

then you will never teach again?

Do you accept?

Yes.

Every question in this contest has a winning amount.

The more right answers they will give...

the amount will keep increasing.

If at any stage, they don’t know the answer...

they can collect the amount they won and quit the game.

But... but that will mean you lost.

Because you’ve to score hundred percent result.

All 10 right answers.

You do accept?

Yes.

Good. Agreement, please.

What’s this?

I was giving them one million each.

Sir, your method wasn’t straight.

Whatever they win today, will be on their own merit.

Yeah...

So let’s begin.

You’ll get one minute to answer every question.

You also have a lifeline...

and I’ll tell you about it when you need it.

So let’s start...

First question for 10,000 rupees.

When was our National Anthem “Jana Gana Mana”...

sung for the first time?

Options are...

A.) 1915.

B.) 1911.

C.) 1942.

D.) 1947.

And your time starts now.

B.) 1911.

It was sung for the first time in 1911...

during the Indian National Congress’ Kolkata session.

Original, in Bengali.

And it was officially adopted in the Constituent assembly...

on 24th of January, 1950.

As our National Anthem!

Yes, you’re right!

1911!

Second question for 20,000.

In the Sikh religion, the names of the boys...

are associated with Singh.

Like Navjot Singh... Surjeet Singh.

And the girl’s names are always associated with Kaur.

Like Navjot Kaur, Sujit Kaur.

The literary meaning of Singh is ‘Sher’ (Lion).

What is the literary meaning of ‘Kaur’?

A.) Sherni (Lioness)

B.) Student.

C.) Daughter. Or...

D.) Princess.

And your time begins now.

I think its Student.

Disciples.

Sikh disciples of Gurunanakji.

It should be Student.

Look, the meaning of Sikh is disciple, but not Kaur.

We had a Sikh family friend...

and his daughter’s name was Jeet Kaur.

He always called her ‘Princess of Victory’.

Victory means Jeet.

So Kaur would mean Princess.

- But... - Just trust me.

Trust me.

Sir, it is D. Princess.

Jyoti... if you had said Student...

It would’ve been wrong.

She’s right.

It’s the right answer. Princess.

Third question for 50,000 rupees.

The question is...

B.) Flying officer Nirmal Jeet Singh Seikho.

C.) Group Captain Arjun Singh.

D.) Squadron Leader RK Sharma.

And your time begins now.

I am pretty sure.

- Should I? - Okay.

Option B. Flying officer Nirmal Jeet Singh Seikho.

You’re absolutely right.

The correct answer B. Flying officer Nirmal Jeet Singh Seikho.

Fourth question for 100,000 rupees.

Describe this picture.

This is India’s first rocket.

Nike Apache.

ISRO launched it in 1963, in Kerala.

From the Thumba equatorial Launch station.

And interestingly... our first rocket...

was carried on a cycle.

Because there was only one launch-pad in the station...

and the road was through dense coconut trees.

And they are right.

Sir, one more thing.

The people who worked on this rocket...

also included our former President Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.

Surprising... this fact isn’t mentioned here.

And their general knowledge...

is better than those who set the questions.

Right, sir.

Let’s move ahead.

Fifth question... for 500,000.

Dalai Lama, we all know.

But what does the words ‘Dalai’ and ‘Lama’ mean?

And your time starts now...

‘Dalai’ is a Mongolian word...

and it means vast, like the ocean.

And in the Tibetan language...

the spiritual leaders were called ‘Lama’.

So those who are on this post...

are believed to be the ‘Ocean of Compassion’.

Right now you two look like the ocean of knowledge to me...

because this is the absolutely right answer.

Yes!

The Kanta Ben High School teachers...

are performing amazingly.

Congratulations, good going.

Wow!

And you put in a question about dance.

Relax.

This is some foreign film.

I...

I’ve seen this.

Yeah...

Sir, this is Bruce Lee.

- Bruce Lee... - Yes.

Bruce Lee... you mean the fighter...

from Fist of Fury, Enter the Dragon?

Yes, sir.

He’s this dancer?

No... I don’t believe it.

I know...

Sir, this is Bruce Lee.

My husband is a die-hard fan of Bruce Lee...

and I am a fan of dance.

And very few people that the King of Martial Arts...

Bruce Lee was a trained dancer.

Before he became a star, he used to teach ‘Cha-Cha-Cha’.

‘Cha-Cha-Cha’?

I don’t believe it.

But since you’re so confident, then let’s see.

What's written?

Oh my, God. You’re absolutely right.

You’ve won one million rupees.

She recognised Bruce Lee too.

Not me.

Wait for the next question.

Seventh question, 5 million.

Does Google have a full form too?

Yes, sir. They do.

Oh, God!

Wow!

You’ve won 10 million rupees.

Seems like the excitement amongst the people is growing...

along with my heart beat.

Because this is my first show.

Next question for 20 million.

20 million.

Teachers.

When Christopher Columbus and Vasco Da Gama...

set out to explore the world, they followed certain maps.

Who made those maps?

Your time starts now.

- We need a helpline. - Stop the clock.

They’re done for.

Your helpline is...

you can take the help of any one teacher sitting here.

If her answer is right, you will win 20 million.

And the game will continue.

But if their answer is wrong, then it’ll be game over.

And you will also lose all the money that you won.

So would you like to use the helpline...

or take the 10 million and quit this game?

It's 10 million... take it.

Right?

Not again, sir.

What about their self-respect then?

Forget about self-respect.

They are not politicians, they are teachers.

They will play ahead.

Quiet.

- We’ll play, sir. - Good show.

So... which teacher’s help would you like to take...

from the teacher’s section?

Mrs. Indu Shashtri.

Our contestants have chosen Mrs. Indu Shashtri...

to give the answer.

Mrs. Indu Shashtri Please.

Mrs. Indu Shashtri Please.

Aah, there.

I’ll repeat the question for you.

When Christopher Columbus and Vasco Da Gama...

set out to explore the world, they followed certain maps.

Who made those maps?

These maps were made by Arab Scholar... Mohammad Al Idrisi.

There was one thing special about him.

He used to make all his maps upside down.

Meaning, North below... and South above.

And people used to read his maps upside down.

Were you fired from Kanta Ben school as well?

You’re a great assessor.

Thank you.

Very intelligent.

You two are simply wonderful.

Because what she’s saying is absolutely right.

You’re absolutely right.

You’ve won 20 million rupees.

Thank you, Mrs. Shashtri. Thank you very much.

Ladies and Gentlemen...

the last question of this contest.

The defining question.

Pass or fail.

Are you ready?

Prize money for 50 million!

This is your question... for 50 million.

In the Sri Hanuman Chalisa...

Tulsidas has revealed a secret of the universe.

A secret.

What is that?

This is the last question of the evening.

So... there’s no time limit...

You can take your own time.

Let me repeat.

In the Sri Hanuman Chalisa...

Tulsidas has revealed a secret of the universe.

You’ve to tell us what that secret is.

"Yug shehastra yojan par bhanu"

"Lilyo taahir madhur fal jaanu"

"Yug shehastra yojan par bhanu"

"Lilyo taahir madhur fal jaanu"

One ‘Yug’ means 12000 years.

One ‘Shehestra’ means 1000 years.

One ‘Yojan’ means 8 miles.

Let’s multiply the three.

12000*1000*8 = 9,60,00,000 miles.

1 mile = 1.6 kilometre.

So when we multiply them...

We get... 15,36,00,000 kilometres.

And ‘Bhanu’ means the sun.

The distance between the earth and the sun...

which the world scientist calculated in the 18th century...

Tulsidas had already denoted that in the 16th century...

in the Sri Hanuman Chalisa.

You win 50 million.

You’re the winners.

Yeah!

Bravo!

Incredible India! Incredible teachers!

Please clap for them.

Brilliant.

Vidya, Jyoti... please come here.

End of judgement.

It is Vidya Sawant and Mrs. Jyoti Thakur, the winners.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the winners...

of India News’ special quiz program..

Mrs. Vidya Sawant and Mrs. Jyoti Thakur.

See, sir.

Today these two teachers shook up your Nagrik Shashtra.

Yes...

It’s alright.

Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant!

I salute these teachers.

Wonderful. Brilliant.

Mr. Anmol Parekh, did you bring your cheque book along?

Or were you too over confident that you are going to win?

Today’s special program on India News has created history.

Two teachers...

On the basis of their knowledge won 50 million rupees.

Bravo. Very good.

So Vidya, Jyoti... you’ve won such a huge amount.

You can now live comfortably.

There’s no rest. Our real work begins now.

We still have to build that school...

which Dr. Radha Krishnan always dreamed about.

Where... education isn’t business.

The parents don’t have to worry about...

the inappropriate huge school fee.

And no Nusrat’s Iqbal...

is ever dismissed from school.

And where no Chaturvedi, Manjeet or Pinto...

have tears in their eyes.

And now we’ll build that school... with this money.

I see... so you’ll build a school.

- Not us... - Our Shashtri ma’am.

Shashtri ma’am.

And you two?

The same old...

Chalk and Duster.

‘The Chalk and Duster team salute all teachers...’

‘and thank them.’

“We’re the lamps of education”

"We will shine..."

“We’ll shine in the world”

“All the darkness around...”

“We’ll diminish it”

“We’ll diminish it from the world”

“We’re the lamps of education”

"We will shine"

“We’ll shine in the world”
