Ma

Okay?

Write carefully

Once you finish writing, check again

Arun

This is our exam

You have to pass Maths at any cost

All the best

Careful

Ammmaaa!

'35: Not A Small Story'

'My mom told me'

'When we move from negativity called Loss'

'Towards positivity called Win'

'All of us come across the stage - zero'

'Now the distance between my loss and gain'

"He who lacked money for His own wedding"

'Tonsure Block'

"Will He grant our boons never ending?"

"One who never analyses debit or credit"

"Will He twist Fate's hand to our benefit?"

Dad, why should I tonsure my head?

When the Lord lost His hair, Neela Devi gave Him hair

The Lord became very happy

That is why one of the 7 hills is called Neeladri

'Neelalu' in Telugu means hair

Now will you give your hair?

"Illusive truth will finally emerge successfully"

Why tell this 'head' myth to such a young boy?

Simple, bro

If we stop telling he will stop questioning!

If there's a full stop to questions learning comes to a stand still

Shall I begin, sir?

Hey! Wash the hair well with hot water The boy shouldn't find it painful

- Bro, make sure he does not move - Okay

Listen, the entire Tirumala should notice in one glance

He is DPR Moorthy's nephew

Don't I know, sir?

Finish your call and come I'll do a clean shave!

Yov!

- Don't forget the tuft - Okay

Hello?

Is it BPR Moorthy?

Not BPR or EPR

It is DPR

Darshan, Prasad, Rooms Moorthy here

Who is this? Speak up

Praise be to Lord Vishnu Govinda Govinda!

I mean

What is your problem, man?

Do this now Press 1 for Entry to see God

For Rooms Press 2 God's offering as 'Prasadam' Press 3

If you want to listen to all this again

Press 0

Don't cry, Arun

- Don't worry - What, man?

Don't know how to hold tight couldn't you call me?

All because of your zero

'Because of my zero?'

- It's alright - Arun

Nothing to worry

Hold him

Calm down, Arun

What is this, man? Are you using my boy as guinea pig?

If your brother does not sit straight, is it my fault?

I'm not his sister I am his mother

Not his mistake, Chinnu

Keep him on your lap He will sit quiet

Stop supporting him, dear

Come here

Nothing to worry

O' guardian deity, help me! He'll get 2 more cuts if you do it

'I will be more careful this time'

I've shaved my husband's beard many times

Shall I mark Vaishnavite symbol on his forehead?

Thanks to my sister the tuft is gone

If you at least draw our symbol

My nephew will resemble Lord Vishnu

'Draw the symbol'

Ma, why is the Lord wearing such a big cap?

The Lord is our captain, right?

That's why he's wearing such a big cap

Nephew

What is the link between this uncle, that zero and your tonsured head?

Hey! Please don't turn like that

In case your neck gets sprained

Your mother will tonsure my head!

Uncle, what is zero?

If there is nothing

That is zero

For a zero which is nothing

By adding 1 to the right

Or adding 1 to the left

What will change?

How will it change?

Actually, how did 10 become bigger, uncle?

This kid is a genius I swear!

Really, how did 10 become big, sir?

Is your job done?

Here

What is this, sir?

We decided on Rs 10 but you are giving me 1 rupee?

You said zero is nothing

So I removed it and gave you the rest

Go and mark your forehead with 'U' and 'I'!

[Vedic chant]

Leave behind your older son in the Vedic School here

TTD Certificate in one hand On the other hand you get paid Rs 2 lakhs

He'll become a top priest

"This is the truth"

Learning these mantras my nephew won't have a problem with numbers

Mother gives birth Father should give him a life

Wait and watch

I'll make my son TTD 'hundi' supervisor

If the father counts coins as a conductor won't his son be counting God's donation?!

Well calculated

Well accounted, indeed!

You and me are the ones to talk about Mathematics

Listen, you think my education is some moral science story

You keep repeating it daily!

Which university gave a certificate to Goddess Saraswati?

That Goddess Saraswati and this Saraswati

We are both same

Arun, Varun come here

'Bro, keep this in mind'

After 20 years

This software industry will vanish and full demand will be for priests!

"Ya evam Veda"

"Yopamayatanam Veda"

"Ayatanavan bhavati"

Arun, school will be good for you

You should listen to the teacher

- Who is a teacher? - God

'Dear'

Is today an auspicious day? Shall we start his schooling tomorrow?

I'll play with my new friends and come home early

Will you make milk pudding for me?

Sure

Look at that boy He is such a good boy

You are a good boy too, right?

What is your name?

Pavan

Wow! Your watch looks amazing

I love red

Color, color, what color do you want?

Oh! You know all the games?

'I think our son has got his friend'

Shall we pay the school fees for Chinnu also?

You can pass 10th grade!

First I should go and get colostrum from my brother

I have to make pudding with sugar for you and jaggery for him

Give Varun an oil massage, bathe, feed him De-spell evil eye, sing and ensure he naps

I should first pass as mother and wife 10th grade does not bother me

Practical indeed

'Eight'

'Nine'

'Ten'

- Doubt - What?

He is throwing anything he takes into the well and I have to fetch it out

Give him one tight slap on my behalf

"It is a strange world indeed, bro"

"They say it is wrong, whatever you do"

My little prince

My happiness

Dad's touch is only to hug and kiss you

'Go play'

Everything should be the same size

Otherwise it won't cook properly

"Bro, it is a magical world"

"In mischief and pranks twirled"

- Ma, super - Super, amma

"If you listen to what they say they clap loud, all the way"

"If you disobey, you are done for they will give you grief encore"

"If you listen to what they say they clap loud, all the way"

"If you disobey, you are done for they will give you grief encore"

I don't know how to explain things to Arun, Chinnu

Don't worry, dear

He is just a kid He will learn soon

"If no questions asked by you they say you know nothing, dude"

"If you do happen to ask they yell and take you to task"

"If you didn't understand, dude they ridicule you all the way through"

"Even if it is meaningless what they teach still want you to believe what they preach"

Buy a new shirt, dear

The wind will bring it down, come

"Disliking learning accessories"

"The world has only boundaries"

Hey...hey Stop for a second

"If you listen to what they say they clap loud, all the way"

"If you disobey, you are done for they will give you grief encore"

Amma, why does the Horse always move in L shape?

Arun

Connect 4 'L's

Letter 'H'

- H means? - Horse

'Attention'

'Attention!'

'Stand at ease'

Good morning, all of you

Hard work leads to success

Always be good students

Our names should be here, no?

They have white washed

Don't say 'Sunnalu' Meaning paint and zero in Telugu

They have painted the walls!

Arun

I don't know how to bring Arun in the right track

[Vedic chant]

"Did the stars in the skyways learn maths to move in space?"

"Do birds have tables to memorise to enjoy life's high fives?"

"How can the teacher's ruler be the tool to make students learn lessons in school?"

"Competitions that give grief totally Such loads are unnecessary daily"

"Teachers who torture you won't understand your woes, dude"

"Dreams in your head that sway"

Why can't you make your friend understand

Like you do well in all other subjects

Why can't you study and pass in Maths also?

I am unable to understand it

How do I learn without understanding?

And how can I pass?

Then why are you doing all this?

My parents will buy me gifts only if I score good marks

These are the kids that grow up and ask bribes for everything

Students, everybody note this sum

"It is a strange world indeed, bro"

Ma'am, doubt

"They say it is wrong, whatever you do"

"Bro, it is a magical world"

"In mischief and pranks twirled"

How can it be wrong, when everyone is learning it, son?

Dad, nobody is able to clear my doubts properly

After I grow up, I will change all these numbers for sure

Chinnu, please make Arun understand

Ask him to keep his stupidity aside and study properly

You tell him, amma I can't blindly mug up stuff

Arun

Varun

Wake up

'If you are late on the first day you will be late whole year through'

Anna, check if there is a lizard in there?

Take off your shorts and bathe Lizard will run away seeing your weenie!

Make it fast, boys It is getting late

Here

Knowledge meant for brain is stuck on shoulders instead!

They should give marks for lifting these bags

- Bye, amma - Careful, bye

Have you been assigned duty in the kitchen today?

Yes, 'over time' Work at home

Stop acting smart

If you sprain your hip we have to head to Puttur

You won't let me do even the smallest of tasks

Do this

Tell your driver not to over speed

It will save me from massaging your feet daily

True, you are not Goddess Lakshmi to massage my feet willingly

You are Saraswati

Sripathi Panditharaadhyula Venkatapadma Kamalakantha Pranavamanjula Balasaraswati

Look at me with devotion

You can see all the Goddesses in me

Okay...okay

Want me to love you devotedly and light camphor for you?

Attend to your tasks, my noble husband!

I've taken a vow to offer porridge to Goddess Shakti tomorrow

Buy coconuts and bananas on your way back home

Brother, sit down

Rock paper scissors

Good morning, sir

- Who is he? - He is a new teacher

I heard he isn't so strict

Silence!

Mathematics

It is not just a subject

'It is a mechanism that separates the intelligent from the idiot'

Chanakya Varma

Sir, my name is Vivek Varma

Don't try to act smart

- What is your Maths score? - 86, sir

This is a chalk piece

This is a bench

He is Vivek Varma

'Name is not something your parents give you'

A name is something you earn out of hard work

So

The marks you scored in Maths will be your name

Therefore

You are 86

- Got it? - Yes, sir

Sir, he and I scored the same marks

96

- What do they call you at home? - Uthara, sir

- And you? - Chengappa, sir

'Coconut shell in palm-pa'

They always tease me like this, sir

It isn't such a big problem

From today, you are C 96

You are U 96

- You are the class toppers, right? - No, sir

- What is your score? - 100, sir

13 times 7?

91, sir

18 times 14?

252, sir

Good

Very good

What is your mark?

Zero, sir

What, my dear boy? Mocking me?

Zero, sir

You 100

You zero

You take your bag and go to the last bench

Sir

We have sat next to each other from when we were toddlers, sir

Next to each other?

How much is 100 times 0?

Zero [chorus]

Heard that?

If you sit with him

You will become a big zero

Sir, our friendship is 100+0 which equals 100

Hey zero

You quickly take your bag and go to the last bench

Go...quick!

Sir, how is 100 x 0 = 0?

- 100 - Don't

You tell me, zero

I have two pens, sir

He does not have any pen

How can this boy who is nothing but a zero

Multiply and make me a zero?

Don't I have 2 pens with me, sir?

Even this new teacher doesn't seem to know the answer

'He is well and truly caught!'

Worth, Varma, worth! [dialog from 'Jailer']

Only hard knocks on your head will motivate you?

You should sit like this in every class

The ones in the 80s should go to 90s

The 90s should score 100 This should be your wish list

Keep this in mind

If you question the fundamentals

Your future is a big zero

Hence

No backbenchers

Got it?

Amma, I moved the Knight ahead

To the King's side or Rook's?

Rook

Then do castling

'Chinnu, I forgot the towel'

I'm coming

My dear husband!

Yes...yes!

Winner winner chicken dinner

Winner winner chicken din-

Your eyes look like you chopped onions! Enough of playing

Amma, please amma 1 more game

No, today's quota is over

Amma, my Bishop killed your Rook

That's it! Very good move!

Amma, go and ask daddy

I know when to ask him

What are you looking at? The game is over

If you want to win, not enough to grab the opportunities in front of you

You should calculate the threats behind you too!

Varun, come here

Come

Eat this

Soooper, ma!

If you start YouTube channel and name it 'Mom's Magic'

Million 'likes' guaranteed

- Your dad has to like it first - Amma

- Arun, there is a new app - Amma, cycle

It teaches you everything practically it seems

It is-

I know that, daddy Pavan got it a long time ago

It won't help clear my doubts

I've served dinner, dear

Amma

Wait

Varun, what?

Nothing, daddy

Okra curry is super delicious

Taste it, dad It is mind blowing

The best lady's-finger ever cooked

By my sister-in-law Subbulu

She adds fried groundnuts and curry leaves to it, wow!

So delicious indeed!

My mouth waters as I mention it, Chinnu

It's true

Give me some more curry

Take all you want, I'll turn off fan and lights and be back

Once she fries we won't know whether it is lady's-finger or ivy gourd

Subbulu sis-in-law's cooking is simply delicious, finger licking good!

My foot!

'Chinnu'

Bring the phone

It has been ages since I spoke to her

Mr Hubby!

Why this sudden 'mister', madam?

Varun wants a cycle it seems

Where to?

Let me bring the diary

No, my lord & master!

Please don't bring your asset-count here

Chinnu

More than what they want

It is important to give what they need

Our son believes his mother can wave her magic wand for him!

If it is not possible

The mother should pacify him, right?

If he gets to know you told me

And I said no

Won't he think less about his father?

Fat hopes indeed!

I'll ensure our sons will realise this Lord is on top always

I'll never let them think less of you

Chinnu!

Chinnu, no

Chinnu! Oh God!

Dad said okay

Yes...yes, daddy

Varun, come here

Your brother goes by bus and you on a cycle

Will it look good?

It will look good

He has Pavan anna to give him company

If a bus conductor's son does not go by bus

Won't your father's friends tease him?

Is dad still a kid to have friends?

If it is the next year you can get a bigger cycle

Like the 10th graders, you can happily ride in style to school

Then you should buy me pants also

Go now

'Venkateswara Higher Secondary School'

I did not ask him

I was walking to school and sir offered me a lift

If he offers will you get on to his bike?

If I refuse he will punish me

Give me less marks Do I need all that?

Are marks more important for you than me?

You are most important, let's go

That Chanakya sir's plan is to make us fight like this

Come on! Let's show him our plan

What is the plan?

You want a lift, Varma sir?

Sir?

"Hey little fellow!"

"Taking toddler steps, to school you go"

"Daily hustle & bustle gaily"

"Friendship has no specific day to tally"

"New ties bonding totally"

"True friendship has no topper"

"One without a friend is the loser"

"No big deal; always 'Arey' Whether elder or younger are they"

"There is no difference any which way"

"Rock & roll"

"Heart & soul"

"Rock & roll"

"Heart & soul"

"Rock & roll"

"Heart & soul"

"Rock & roll"

"Heart & soul"

"Ding goes the lunch bell at noon"

"Tiffin boxes exchange places soon"

"For your pranks daily"

"Teacher's stick will break duly"

"Everything that is mine and yours"

"Shared by all, becomes ours"

"Like a pencil with an eraser at the end"

"Like the refill inside the pen, my friend"

Hey! Arun

Chanakya sir requested Principal sir

...to change my section

"Daily hustle & bustle gaily"

"Friendship has no specific day to tally"

"New ties bonding totally"

Sir, I did everything just as you said

But you reduced 1/2 mark for me

+1 does not need a symbol

- But for minus 1 - Symbol has to be there

Hahn! Therefore

Zero by itself has no value

What value does -1, -2 have which is lesser than zero?

Please stop it

100

Listen

Minus your friendship with that zero

Sir, Arun is a very good boy

If you clarify his doubts he will be fine, sir

Hey!

He is arrogance multiplied by over-smartness

To the power of temerity!

Sir, please, sir

Saraswati

'Why are you just standing like that?'

Unexpected guests are the best surprises

- Come...come - Please come in

This is Saradha, my client

Remember we spoke about her

She works in Panchayat office at Perumal Palle

No, Govt grocery outlet in Punganur

Please sit down

How many Punganurs will make one Bengaluru?

Newspaper, articles, lawyer

High court digitization convent

Mr Moorthy

It is not convent

It is 'consultant'

Same...same

Please sit and sip my sister's coffee I'll finish my noon prayers and be back

And then we can be blessed by Lord Balaji on His golden swing

- Perfect plan - Your prayer paraphernalia is over there

- Okay - Let me get you coffee

Please make it strong

Saraswati

Whose selection is your calling bell?

That, huh?

My dear husband

I asked him to buy a bell which rings the Lord's name

My beloved son ordered this online

You have 2 children?

You look like a newly married bride

It's been a dozen years since we got married

They got you married at a very young age?

Yes

No one listened to me

They said 'What is the hurry? Let us wait for some time'

I felt he will be alone in Tirupati

So I threatened him and forced him to agree

I married him

My mother didn't talk to me for 3 months because I didn't cry while parting from her

Then

Don't you have plans to earn?

Enjoy the freedom like girls of this generation?

If you need freedom, more than earning you need a person who respects your opinion

In that matter my husband is a sweetheart

Good

The coffee is really good

Let's go

It is getting late

You come and before we can chat you are ready to leave

This auspicious month keeps me busy

I’ll shift over right here at the end of this month

Note this point, Your Honor

Okay, Your Honor

The title is

Saraswati's Holy Matrimony

Noted

I'll take leave, my dear

Thank you for the coffee, Mrs Saraswati

- Surya - Present, ma'am

- Rishitha - Present, ma'am

- Pavan - Absent

Ma'am

Did Pavan give you a leave letter?

- Geetha - Present, ma'am

- Tejaswini - Present, ma'am

- Rohit - Present, ma'am

Amma, did Pavan call you?

No

- Anna, stop - Take this

'The number you are calling is out of network coverage area'

'The number you are calling is-'

Arun

He might have gone to Tirumala temple

He will be back by tomorrow or day after

Uncle

Is Pavan home?

He didn't tell you?

I sent him to Nellore boarding school for better education

'I'll tell him you came over'

'Hey, zero'

What are you doing here?

Pavan's house

Were you told he has been sent to a school in Nellore?

You mischievous fellow!

I was scared 100 will become a 0

Because of this zero

Headlight, clutch wire and front tyre

Everything is brand new

Shall I drop you home?

Amma

"A feeling which words cannot explain"

My dear child

What happened?

Pavan and I have been separated

By Chanakya sir

"Stuck in my heart in terrible pain"

Don't cry, Arun

"Excessive tiredness Prolonged sadness"

"My mischievous nature innate is in a subdued silent state"

"This life's journey feels strange to me"

Amma

What do we do if daddy has to get transferred to Nellore?

Arun

What are you blabbering at this hour?

Keep quiet and sleep

Go to sleep

"This friendship for no reason is changing like the season"

Hey Pavan!

He won't be coming back

This is Pavan's place

Get lost!

"A heavy burden Distance of separation"

"A heavy burden Distance of separation"

Arun

- Dear - Yes

He is so down and dull

They grew up together from 1st day of school

Won't he feel sad, Chinnu?

He will be fine

Electricity bill has increased this month

Open the windows, dear You will get fresh air!

Chinnu

Arun

Check

Super

If you stop playing half way because you lost your Minister

Will your Pawn get a chance to become a Minister?

If you keep playing the situation becomes better, Arun

Listen to me and sleep peacefully

It will all be fine

Srikanth, Ravi, Sekhar, Anudeep

They are all bright students

But they did not perform well in the last examination

- Sir, you called me? - Come in, Chanakya

This is Mr Prasad

6th class Arun's father

You said you wanted to talk to him

Arun?

Oh! Zero, uh?

You know, sir

To motivate them, I call the students by the marks they score

Therefore, their names don't strike a chord immediately

It is okay, sir Namaste

Science and Social science are a different ball game altogether

But life is all about numbers

If he is not able to pick it up

I understand, sir

Everybody has doubts in Maths

But he is doubting the basics of Maths!

It is nothing new

The other students are pointing at him

And the bright ones are also getting spoilt

It is not possible to fail anyone in the current education system

But if we keep promoting him like this till 10th grade

Zero will not have a future

Sir

Sir

'Sir!'

You should pamper him less at home

Tell him strictly to be attentive

Yes, sir

I will attend to this

Madam

What is it?

Ma'am?

ABCD are called alphabets in English

What do you call the same alphabets in Maths?

Algebra [chorus]

Algebra

If you want to get a seat in IIT tomorrow

May I come in, sir?

Come in

- Why is your brother here? - I don't know

'I'm not sure'

Hey Zero

You are the first student to get demoted in our school

Now this circle will become a straight line

Why are standing in 90 degrees?

Your place won't change even if your class changes

Go and sit

So...write down, everybody

'Mark a star next to the important formulas'

Plus multiplied by plus

- Plus multiplied by plus - Equal to plus

Minus multiplied by minus

Minus multiplied by minus

- Plus - Plus

Sir

If I fail twice will you make me 'pass'?

What, boy? Trying to act smart?

If we multiply two minuses

How is it plus, sir?

I am not able to understand all this

Stand up on the bench

STAND UP ON THE BENCH!

He will ask all nonsensical questions and pose like a hero

If you talk with him or play with him

You will also be demoted like him

Be very, very careful

Very good, 65

What is happening?

'Some teacher called Chanakya'

He has harbored a grudge against our son

You should go to his school and talk to the teacher

I am the one who demoted him

Are you mad?

He will unnecessary fall behind and lose a year?

Just because he is taking a step back

It doesn't mean he will fall behind!

It is better to go to 6th grade than go to 10th grade, right?

Oh god!

I didn't mean you, dear

I am talking about Arun

When growth is hindered we have to cut it a bit

Only then we can see it bloom

Be it a sapling or our son

Shall I apply this on you?

You will calm down

Go and put it on your son

For your 'magnanimous deed' he wants to stop going to school!

I'll handle it

Dear?

Does he know you demoted him?

I asked the school management not to tell him

Now, I don't think there is any other way but to tell him

God be with me!

Mister Hubby

Mister

Why, dear madam?

You did it for his good, right?

Chinnu

You'll realise the importance of walking only when your legs stop moving

Why do you have to be the bad cop?

I will talk and pacify him

Saraswati

You can move mountains indeed!

My head and my foot!

Chinnu?

I'm not in the mood, amma

Are you upset with amma?

Are you upset with this rice?

If you are angry with someone to show it on another person is wrong, no?

Arun, quickly taste and tell me Your dad will be here anytime

Mathematics is fully wrong, ma

Just because I don't do those mistakes the school made the mistake of failing me

I won't go to this school hereafter

This is for your amma

Next one is for Pavan

Okay

Amma, everyone in class is teasing me

Can you talk to dad, to join me in another school?

Please, ma

I don't mind even if it is 5th grade

Who joined you in this school?

Dad

- Who made the mistake? - School

All of a sudden if you want to change schools

Who will suffer? Your dad or school?

Dad

Is it right to punish your dad for your school's mistake?

If you are angry with someone to show it on another person is wrong, no?

Won't the school be punished for its mistake?

Arun

Why did the school fail you?

So that you will leave this school and join another

If you don't do that and continue going to the same school?

School will think, 'Aiyo! All our plans did not work out'

The school will regret and consider it as punishment

Hold this I will get curd for you

Amma

Yellow cucumber curry was simply delicious

Amma

Buy new text books for my brother

Every time he gets only my old books

'Chinnu, yellow cucumber'

'Cooked with lentils in tamarind sauce and fenugreek'

'One of the best dishes my aunt in Pulivendula is known for'

Uncle, give me new stock

- You have books with NTR on the cover? - No

Sorry

So sorry

I'm sorry

Anna

Smells just like perfume Come and check

Let's go

No way Impossible

Okay...okay

If at all I fail, I will exit our Whatsapp group

Not asking you all that

Is your brother a good cricketer like us?

There are numbers in the game, no?

So he won't play

Is he a good student?

Does he at least know how to copy expertly in exams?

If we befriend students who fail my mom said we will also fail

Hey Ganesh

I stay with him in the same house and sleep next to him everyday

Did I fail?

That isn't the point Your brother is elder to us

He can't be part of the gang

So let's delete

Did I ask you?

Hahn? Did I ask you?

Did I ask you to make me a part of your stupid gang?

Who are you to delete me?

I am deleting all of you

Not just you boys

I'll 'shift+delete' the entire class!

Even if you give me an empty paper

I will find out if you have copied

Go

Good morning, madam

Please come, please

What are you doing here even after hearing the bell?

What are you doing outside? Get inside the classroom

What is in between AC but does not feel cold?

'B' my lucky alphabet

So I will go to B section

Varma sir

New admission

You think this is Tiruchanur temple?

To feed everyone whenever they join

What will happen if we keep adding?

Don't I have to teach?

My mom was transferred all of a sudden, sir

Go to the next section and sit

Sir, who do you think she is? She is our principal's granddaughter

What's wrong with you?

Sweetypie, come Come inside

- He called her 'sweetypie'?! - Sir, first time called her by name

You already know zero?

94, move aside

- Go and sit - Sir

I am a backbencher

[overlap of excited voices]

Even if she sits at the back she will stand in front with flying colors

How will her intelligence change?

She is the principal's granddaughter

This is Pavan's place

Hi Pavan, please move a bit

Thank you

I will be wearing uniform from Thursday

Your turn to splash ink on me We'll be quits then, okay?

Dear zero, why were you punished?

Sir, all over

Sir, doubt

'Doubt on the first day?'

She has doubts even when she isn't listening to me!

It's in her genes Principal's granddaughter!

This girl is so sharp, eh?

Tell me, dear

Why strain yourself so much? Ask me directly

1 minute, sir

3 + 2 = 5

5 x 2 = 10

If I do the same, according to what you've taught us

2 x 2 = 4

4 + 3 = 7

If both the calculations are correct why is the answer not the same, sir?

First divide, then multiply and then add

Why is there an order even for symbols, sir?

You annoying fellow!

Get out of the class

I get punished because I ask doubts like these

Worst fellow!

He is a zero

If you be with him you'll become a big zero too

Be very careful

Zero is my favorite number, sir

Because it the only number that is round

That isn't the point, dear

- What is your favorite color? - Red

Sir, my amma told me

If we keep playing we will find someone in the place of another

Only because you failed me I found her!

Thanks, sir

My name is Arun

Kiranmayi Shortly, Kiran

Arun

Friends, treat Kiranmayi like our teacher

Even Chanakya sir called her 'sweety pie'

We should neither be too friendly or too stand-offish, to be on the safe side

- Behave carefully - Okay?

Good point

Srivani, will you lend me your Maths notes?

I will give it to you after lunch

No, her handwriting is not legible

I didn't bring my notes, sorry

Let me tell you something Remember this very clearly

She is here to check our books

Her plan is to complain to the Principal

Intelligent girl

Kiran

Why are you upset?

My mom keeps getting transferred

I have changed 4 schools till now

I don't have any friends

Pizza is simply super

It goes forward and backward

Finally, it stays in its place

What is it?

Swing

"Without noticing day or time"

"The fun keeps continuing sublime"

"No differences between buddies in class"

"We should continue this friendship true"

"Bonds without expectations whatsoever"

"Forged during childhood forever"

"I united with you forever now erasing boundary lines with love"

Arun, this is you

This is your mother

My amma looks even more beautiful than this

"Friendship is here to win and stay"

"Rock & roll"

"Heart & soul"

"Rock & roll"

Picnic day is not a complete playing day

There is a park right next to Chennai beach

If you play in the afternoon sun you'll get sun burnt

Idea, sir

Can we start lessons on ratio after lunch during our picnic?

Let's finish it

You all enjoy the picnic

If Chanakya sir does not come

We can enjoy the picnic thoroughly, right?

Driver, start

Sir, Chanakya sir is not here yet

He is on leave

Yaaaaaaaaay!

What? You won't be coming?

Driver, move on!

When you don't know the game why should you be the captain?

I am the class monitor

Inside the class Not out here in our picnic

What do we do now?

Pushkala, Kiran

Kiran, you want to come play in my team?

Sure, which team is Arun in?

There is only place for one

- You want to play with me or them? - I want to play with everyone

One game

Please?

I will wait here You go play and come

Thanks, I will be back as soon as possible

Best player of the day goes to

D Kiranmayi 5th B

You will sit next to me from tomorrow, right?

You are my first and best friend

'I choose white'

Because I failed and I am studying in my brother's class, they think less of me

This is not a good class

Don't say that They have become good friends

Ours is a very good class

In what way is it good?

Just because you all played together once everyone has become your friend?

Listen, you know a lot of games

They are befriending you only for your games

They are not good friends

Do you know they fought with me in the bathroom?

You were also mad at me the first time we met

Friendship starts with a fight

Just for you, I made sure Chanakya doesn't come to the picnic

I took away his specs

That is friendship

This is being your best friend

You took away Chanakya sir's specs?

When did you take it?

'Hey Zero!'

What did you do?

What are you doing here?

Hey, you Move

I can move, sir How will the tree move?

Ask the sweeper to look for my specs when she sweeps

Varma sir, you sit behind Rest in peace, I'll take you home

I will go, move

Sir, listen to me

- I said 'move' - Varma sir

You will definitely crash somewhere

Would he be like this if he had been brought up well?

'Mr Prasad, his behavior is unacceptable in school'

'Arun has been suspended'

Amma

Can you feed me?

You made a mistake, Arun

Anna

Do you need a spoon?

Can't he eat if he doesn't have a spoon?

Shut up and eat

Arun, come inside It is about to rain

No need to invite anyone on a golden platter

If I had whacked him when he was 5

Things wouldn't have got this worse

'I did not whack him then'

It is too late now

Chinnu

We can't just say fine and move ahead

We have to correct him and bring him on track

I'll feed him and come

He sees our love as our weakness

If we continue being lenient he will get out of hand

If it drizzles

He will come in by himself

You sleep

"Rock & roll"

"Heart & soul"

"Rock & roll"

"Heart & soul"

Anna?

Amma

Dear?

Hello, uncle

Did Arun come to your house?

"Mother distressed"

"Worried and stressed"

Did you see this boy anywhere?

"Mother in panic now"

"Pampering too much love"

"This is bound to be the reaction"

"In this desperate situation"

"Trying to hide, so smart"

"This boy has learnt the art"

"For her unconditional love"

"How has she been blessed now?"

Bro, what is your seat number?

Brother

I searched the entire Tirumala

I couldn't find him

It is all because of you

He is young and immature What happened to you?

Useless grudges!

I want my son, Prasad

Do whatever you want I want my son back

Listen

Alipiri SI is my client

I called him We'll find him

Auto

It looks like it will rain Take Varun and go home

I assure you I'll bring him back home

If need be, you and my husband take Varun and go home

I won't come back without Arun

- Chinnu - Sister

- Chinnu - Amma

- Listen to me - I won't go home either without anna

Lord of the 7 hills

Help us get over this predicament

I vow to crawl every step of the seven hills to get Your blessings

Hello Sister

Shouldn't I scold you as your mother? Shouldn't he guide you as your father?

Amma

'Will you eat at least now?'

Kiddo

You are not supposed to stand there, come back

I'm talking to you Are you coming or not?

Hey! Where are your parents?

Amma

After you come back, you must definitely come home for lunch

I'll come for sure, dear

If you eat her food, your next article will be about my sister's fabulous cooking

Title is

Culinary skills of Nala-Bheema-Saraswati

You know our mom yelled at dad?

Sister, give Saradha ma'am a bottle of your home made pickle

Bro, Vijayawada sleeper Platform #4

- Service number is 5278 - Got it

Amma

I didn't think we will be a happy family once more

We can never forget your help

Title is

Kumarasambavam Kalidasa's epic poem!

Noted

I will take leave Bye

'I'll be back Take care'

Chinnu hasn't sipped even a drop of water yet

Listen, my dear?

Why so serious?

I was so tense I blabbered in anger

Please forgive me

No

Your love for him is unconditional and incomparable

Listen, I'll remember only this

You called me by name for the first time after marriage

I liked it!

You liked it, eh?

My dear husband Panditharadhyula Subramanya Satyaprasad

Amma?

Daddy

Sorry

I won't do this ever again

Shall I make you milk pudding tomorrow?

Yes!

Mother's love indeed

There will be 'end' in the end

But it never ends

FRIEND

Even in 'suspend'

There is 'end' in the end, Kiran

Not Arun, Zero Friendship with him is zero

It is round in shape without an ending

Kiran, stop Where are you going?

Kiran, stop

Annual exams are fast approaching

If you haven't completed your syllabus yet

When will you start revision?

- Kiran - Stop...stop

- I want to talk to Principal sir - Sir is in a meeting, you can't go

- It is urgent - Sir, we'll finish the syllabus in 10 days

Sir

I need to talk to you

I am in an important meeting

I'll call you in later

I don't want to talk to Principal Bucchi Reddy

I want to talk to my grandfather Bucchi

Please wait outside

I will call you back

[chanting Veda]

What a thunderstorm we had overnight

Because of my nephew

I have a running nose now

Is everything fine at home?

Wait, let me get you milk

Sir, Arun did that for our sake

Chanakya sir said he wants to take Maths class even in our picnic

The entire class did not want sir to come

Suspend everyone if you have to

If not, please, sir

Please excuse Arun and bring him back to class

The entire class did not say that, no?

The entire class did not want sir to come?

Yes, sir

Let's do it this way

If majority of the class supports Arun

We will take him back

Ask Arun to come to school

Yes, sir

You said you will call his parents after 2 days and bring him back to school

What is this twist in the tale now?

Govinda

It is not just the boy's mistake

There has been a mistake

We have to delve deep and find out

The wrong-doer should learn

We should correct the mistake

Rather than brushing it under the rug

[chanting Veda]

Bro-in-law, here

Tell my sister I'll come home and meet her tomorrow or day after

Brother-in-law

Only you have to help me out of this crisis

I will take care of it

Chinnu Arun...?

Is this cycle for me? Is it for me, tell me?

It is for both of you

18 gears

- Okay? - Okay!

How much did it cost, dear?

Anna, come Let's go for a ride

Not now

Tomorrow morning, I'll tie lemons and apply 'kumkum', only then you can go for a ride

Chinnu

I spoke to Moorthy

Go to Tirumala

Stay with uncle

And learn the Vedas, Arun

All these zeros, numbers and all We don't need this fuss about Maths

Arun will happily go there Varun will go to school in his cycle

No need, dad, anna should come to school with me tomorrow

Will it look good if anna fails in Maths?

I know what is right, kiddo

Both of us will go together by bus You can return the cycle

I don't want all this, dad

- What? - I won't go anywhere

I will stay home with amma

Arun, be quiet

Let us go inside and talk

He isn't a toddler for you to hold his hand and make him walk

- Or can he stand on his own feet? - We will solve your Maths problem later

You come to school with me

Do I have any friends in your class?

Earlier, only the principal said 'get out' Tomorrow, the entire class will say so

- I will not come - Arun

You will make new friends, learn new subjects in Vedic school

It will be really good

You can feast on different offerings to God everyday

You can see the Lord whenever you want

You can roam around the entire hill with Moorthy uncle

Amma won't be there I won't go anywhere without amma

Whether you like it or you don't

I swear on Lord Venkateswara

I am admitting you in the Vedic school

Not another word from you

I will drag you and make you join

Understood?

Chinnu

I don't care if you pacify him or push him, your choice

There is no middle ground

He should be ready by tomorrow morning

Move...move

Amma

Is it compulsory for me to go?

It took me the entire night to convince your dad

Now you don't start

Do I have to go?

You fought with that girl

But still she did all this for you

Can't you go and thank her?

You always talk about friends Is this the value you give to friendship?

If I go I will lose

It is okay if you lose

You want to sit at home being scared instead?

I made milk pudding for you Eat it together

Hey

Go slowly

If you find it difficult in the traffic get down and push the cycle along

I don't want you to show off circus antics on the road

Okay

Brother, tell me

'Why are you answering? Is your husband still at home?'

Yes, he's still snoring happily

- You want to listen? - He wanted me to help him out

'Now both father and son are happily sleeping'

Both your nephews have gone to school

'Arun has gone to school too?'

Arun has gone to school?

Brother, he has got up

- I'll call you later - Chinnu

Arun has gone to school?

Varun kept pestering me all night like a mosquito buzzing in my ear

Nowadays, the kids are getting scared of you

I don't want him to know he can't go to school because of his father

So, I told him you accepted and sent him to school

I told you loud and clear yesterday

'But you did what you wanted'

What is this, Chinnu?

All we want is for him to go to school, right?

It is a good chance

Don't I know what is good for him?

But didn't it occur to you to consult me before deciding?

Why wouldn't I tell you, dear?

First, go bathe

We can continue this fight over breakfast

Chinnu, telling me and doing is different from doing it and then telling me

Now he will again be expelled from school

Last time he ran away

Did you think of what he will do this time?

Tell me you did this because you can't stay away from him if he attends Vedic school

I will understand

Don't tell me you did this for me

How many times have you told me our boys should be well educated?

I am still saying the same

It is important to give them what they need rather than what they want

If what you did was right the alarm would have rung on time

What happened now? Why are you getting so worked up

Did you tell me before you failed him?

You did it for his good, right?

I did this too for the same reason For the good of our family

You were born only to get married to me

Now that is done

You have no thought about their future

Mother failed her 10th grade

Son failed in his 5th grade

Birds of the same feather indeed!

Stop talking rubbish, Dear

My son's future will be spectacular

One can't acknowledge their own faults!

Rather than finding fault in my words

Saraswati is unable to see the fault in her action

Valuing a man's words is not by listening to him

It comes by following his words

Why am I still talking to someone who does not respect my word?

The day your son passes Maths exam

I will open my mouth and accept I was in the wrong

Till then

My dear!

My dear

Is my 10th grade a deciding factor for our wedding?

Govt job

A big fat dowry

My father says you won't marry a girl who has failed 10th grade

'You were born only to get married to me'

What will I gain with education and dowry by rejecting you?

'Shall I start the prayer?'

Lineage of Kaushika

Subramaniya Satyaprasad Balasaraswati

My equal half!

"He is an ornament to sun He overflows with compassion"

"Though a warrior; an epitome of empathy He clasps the hand of Goddess Lakshmi"

"When He sees Earth's daughter unhappy nonchalant and normal he cannot be"

"Even if a quiver of arrows attack He will show no fear or turn his back"

"To retain joy in the eyes of Sita dear"

"Rama has descended from his abode here"

Listen, dear

Only if he buys me the wedding sari in a deep red, your favorite color

Your father-in-law

I mean, tell my father this

As you please

"Sita is on cloud nine, delirious"

"Hearing the sound of waves joyous"

My grandpa said he will bring you to our class room today

So you wait here

Kiran

Sorry

Thanks

Good morning, sir

Morning

Come inside

Shalini, can you wait in the class for 2 minutes?

Varun

Friends, Arun is a good boy

He is my best friend

Kiran, please

That Zero should not get our class's support

He attacked our sir in an angry mood

In future, if he attacks us I can't risk it

As the monitor, class safety is very important to me

Mr Monitor

I will tell my grandpa you are chewing gum in class

Wait outside

I will finish this and take you to him

- Friends - 'It isn't that, Kiran'

Arun feels our class is a punishment for him

Good point, when he doesn't like to be in class

Wanting him to be in class is a waste

Anna likes being with us

That is why he came back to class

When he came into school

Did he greet any of us?

[chorus] No

At least did he even smile at us?

[chorus] No

He did not smile

Okay? Happy?

But did anyone of you smile at him once?

Did you even greet him?

He did it after I told him I don't like sir coming to our picnic

To be honest, none of us in this class liked him coming to our picnic

I liked it

If you interrupt me I will break you back

When he wanted to play with me I played with all of you and ignored him

When your team was losing I made you win in all the games

We are the team for Arun

We will make him win

Didn't we enjoy our picnic?

He did it for our class

Make our class win

Friends, I feel Kiran is right

If we do that, Chanakya sir will cut down our marks

My parents will kill me if I score less marks

Students supporting Arun

Stand on that side

Those of you who don't

Stand on this side

Let's start from you

- We are - Team

5th B

Unity is strength

Very impressive

Keep it up

Arun

Apologize to Chanakya sir

I'm so sorry, sir

Ah, students

All of you also apologize to Chanakya sir

[chorus] Sorry, sir

Good

Arun

Join back the class

Excuse me, sir

On the request of the students

You accepted Zero back into the class

I accept that decision whole-heartedly

But I have one request, sir

I won't call this a punishment

Just 1 condition

In the upcoming annual Maths exam

Minimum...minimum 35

Ask him to score pass mark 35, sir

If not?

If he is not even able to score bare minimum to pass

What is the point of him coming to school?

What do you say? Team 5th B

Okay, sir

The best view is always after the hardest climb

Because of this request

I believe this boy will benefit fully

200%, sir

Arun

With the support of all your classmates

You proved you are a good classmate

Study hard

Pass the exam

And prove you are a good student too

Sir, can I talk?

Tell me

Principal sir Thank you, very, very much

Chanakya sir, I did not expect you will get hurt

I promise I won't do this again, sir

I'm so sorry, sir

My mother asked me to apologize to Kiran and thank her, that's why I came today

Not for this voting

I thought I'll lose

But all of you stood by me and made me win

To all of you, big thanks

I will miss all of you

You mean you won't be attending school from tomorrow?

I can't take this, Kiran

I am unable to learn Maths!

So finally you have started your son's journey of mathematics

I don't know what you said while bringing him back home

But he has started to like you and respect you

If you can guide him a bit he will pass Maths easily

Shuttle, please

You passed the cock like a player

Can you play shuttle?

Arun keeps throwing toys into the well I got used to picking them up

I did this in the same way

I know a little boy

He must be Arun's age

The school gave him a letter and asked him to give it to his mother

She read the letter and smiled

The boy asked his mother what was written in that letter

Nothing, my dear

The school can't teach an intelligent boy like you and asked me to teach you instead

But what was actually written in the letter was

'There are special schools for idiots like your son'

Go and join him there

That idiot is the one

Even after the sun sets

Gave light to the world by inventing the bulb

The belief of Nancy Mathew Elliot

Prepared an Edison

Can't Saraswati's belief make Arun pass a small exam?

What did Edison's mother study up to?

She was a teacher

That's the point to note

I studied in a Telugu medium Failed my 10th grade

I struggled so hard and got 15 marks

Hold the book like you held that racquet

The mother's lap is the first school

Listen to me

You take the first step

I will be your mother and make you walk ahead

Even when I was a kid studies never appealed to me

If I try now

It is like picking up mustard seeds scattered on the ground

Studying is learning

Anything, anytime, anyhow

I will take leave

I will be looking forward

Tell me, madam

If 1 is written next to 0 which anyway has no value

How can it be more than 9?

When 1 is placed in front of a valueless 0 we get 10

How can it be bigger than 9?

Bus break down, huh?

You are back early?

You should have called me

You like white hibiscus

Come, let's plant it

[cricket commentary]

It rained all of a sudden for 2 minutes

All around us, the scent of rain drenched mud

Lady Land lifted her head and looked above in awe

The husband Cloud winked and said

If kissed, that moment should be cherished eternally

"Consort of Sita, Earth's daughter Unsurpassable in war is Rama the warrior"

"When brows over my lotus eyes frown can He turn my confused mind around?"

"He is adept with the smallest of sign to make an army of soldiers toe the line"

"I am this land's daughter Vasudha flowing like the river Mithila"

One

Let me see how long this will continue

The Lord has come down from the seven hills!!

Dad, where is ma?

You know what happened in school today?

Your amma is outside Didn't you see her?

Amma, there was a big surprise in class today

Why are your eyes red?

Must be some dust

What's the big surprise?

Students who wanted me to be in the class

They were asked to come to one side and who those who didn't, to the other side

Guess what happened?

Other than 3 of my classmates everyone supported me, ma

So my hero is again ready for school

It is not that, ma Listen to me fully first

Scared, I closed my eyes as I felt helpless

Everyone put their hand on the student next to them

And finally on me, I felt like I have everyone's strength now

'Unity is strength, ma'

'The class which called me Zero made me a hero today'

- What did you say? - It made me a hero

No, before that?

A class...which called me Zero

Stand there and don't move

I said, 'stand still'

When you had nothing and someone stood next to you

Did you feel strong?

If they went the other side

You were scared about it

In the same way

When 1 is added next to 0 which has no value

Why won't it gain in value?

Why can't it become 10?

"Look to benefit"

"Then repeat it"

"With keen observation thereafter"

"Perception will change for the better"

Ma, students who rejected me are minus 1 and minus 2, right?

Amma is teaching me Maths

Amma is teaching me Maths!

Amma is teaching me Maths Amma is teaching-

Score is 32 for 2, dad

Amma

I should pass in Maths

Win over Chanakya sir and stay in that class

Hey, if I ask amma for 3 idlis

She keeps 4 in my lunch box

Amma cannot do Maths

Like NTR is for heroes

Amma is for Maths She is a torchbearer

Gurkha is also a torchbearer

This time, it will not be zero You'll get minus marks, move

Arun

From LKG to 5th grade

I'll teach you all the sums in Maths

Come

Calculated change indeed!

'Everything can't be according to his wish'

For him to choose if he wants to come and then go if he does not

No

Arun passing the exam is a test to my upbringing

It is my responsibility to make him learn Maths

Believe this mother

And give me one last chance

Did grandpa say no?

Yes

He said he can't go home

He asked him to go to class!

Peon

Ring the bell

It is getting late for class

Bye

Studying is learning

Anything, anytime

Anyhow

Welcome to MAP Make Arun Pass

3 hours for our exam is a waste of time

Firstly, you and your team mate will not write your names on the answer sheet

Secondly, to make you pass

Your team mate will write all the answers perfectly

Thirdly, you just have to exchange your papers

And write your names on the sheet

Zero risk

Pass guarantee The best route

Everybody calm down

'I don't need any technique'

I will study and pass

My mom is the best Maths teacher in the world

Looking at English alphabets like pipes bent in different shapes

I can't help falling asleep, madam

First let me learn Maths and then we will come back to this

Okay

Prime numbers Composite numbers

Factors, Integers, LCM, HCF

Which of these shall we start with?

Leave alone studying this

I don't even remember hearing all this

Oh my goodness!

Has everything been changed in Maths?

'Prime numbers'

'Composite numbers'

'Factors'

Integers

'Lowest Common Multiple'

Highest Common Factor

Is any of this

Ringing a bell?

69 days

1st to 5th grade syllabus

You should learn and then teach your son

If this has to happen

I should learn English first

Hmm...exactly

Sit right there

Sleep Goddess won't reach you there

"Even stars must undergo..."

"Even stars must undergo the fiery crucible always to show"

"And project their luminance across the vast space"

"To invert the outcome, with action one must undergo personal transformation"

"You must strive to be perfect even in weakness, flaws and defect"

"Look to benefit"

"Then repeat it"

"If comprehension still eludes you shut your eyes and envision it anew"

"With keen observation thereafter perception will change for the better"

"Even stars must undergo the fiery crucible always to show"

"And project their luminance across the vast space"

1000 + 1000

"When a day occurs daily without night actually"

"Significance of darkness unveils itself solely in every sense"

If this symbol has its mouth wide open pointing towards you

It is 'greater than'

Now

If its nose is pointing at you

'Less than'

"When numerical values converge & escalate"

"Even zero acquires a state of paramount significance innate"

"Even stars must undergo..."

Stop, Kiran

- What? - 6 overs, that is 36 balls

Our target is 70 So 6 x 12 = 72

Looks like exam preparations are in full swing

I just started 3rd grade syllabus today

This is 5 The next step is 12

The next one 19

I mean 19

- So the next one is - 26

Keep counting and come along till I ask you

Okay?

Govinda Govinda

Govinda Govinda

Praise be to Lord Vishnu as Govinda

Here, amma

What is the total?

2343

Next, subtraction

This is

2340

What is the next one?

2337

Tell me after it becomes zero

Govinda Govinda

Govinda Govinda

Govinda Govinda

'He is running very high temperature'

I'll tell you if I need anything

'Okay, bye'

Good times have started for my sister

The title is

Blessings From Goddess of Knowledge

'She will definitely make it big'

If you can go a bit easy on her

'It will be good for you'

Knowledge flourishes with healthy competition

I will be happy

To chat with Chinnu and spend time

I have the entire life

But Arun's future should have a strong foundation

How much ever we struggle in the queue

We forget the hassles with just a brief glimpse of our Lord

How is Arun? Has the fever subsided?

It is better now

For the past 4 days, he was burning like the mid summer sun

The mother in me is nudging me to take care of my son's health

There is a lot of syllabus to complete

The teacher in me feels he is taking 2 steps back

At what age will Arun be half my age?

I am 51

If your age increases his age also increases

Is it possible to churn milk from curd?

It is not that

You are 51

He is 11

There is a huge difference

Exactly, what is the difference

51 minus 11

When Arun is 40

You will be 80

You can teach Maths to an infant also easily

Then why are you so scared Mrs Mother-teacher?

How much is 486 times 5?

Half of 4 is 2

Half of 8 is 4

- Half of 6 is 3 - Correct

Since we are multiplying by 5

We have to add 0 in the end

The answer is 2430

Please tell her this is your gift

I'll take leave

"Driven by the emergence of a new bond she chose to stand steadfast by her husband"

"Forsaking her parents' embrace forever despite the poignant ache all over"

"She disregards her own agony to give birth to their progeny"

"Despite the probability of brink of mortality"

"Absence of pain negates ties of relation Adversity fosters growth and evolution"

"Can't you confront challenges bravely?"

"Can't you rise above adversity duly?"

"Epilogue and prologue reside Coexisting side by side"

"Can't you see it is obvious? Are you totally oblivious?"

"Even when answers crop up in theory can comprehension arise devoid of inquiry?"

Like a combo of herbs in a garland what are these English letters in Maths?

Like stripes merge on skin

When alphabets unite with numbers

That is Algebra

Algebra

Tell me what is Roman # 10 in English?

'X'

If we write 0 next to 1 we found out it is 10

Similarly to find out the answer in Algebra

That particular letter

You must suppose as 'X'

Amma, can you explain this to me?

Show

Amma

Why didn't you study earlier?

I wanted to study your father

I got you and your brother as my under grad and master degrees

Now I am doing my

PhD

Anna will pass this time

All of us will go on a summer trip

Fixed

Ask dad

Summer may be tough for me

- Can we plan it for 'Dussera'? - Okay

Where do you want to go?

Beach

Abracadabra!

Chanakya sir looks so smart

Sir might even keep this as his display picture

Exams will be over in a week

Insta, Whatsapp, Snapchat

We will make this go viral online

1 full week went waste because of my fever

I started 5th grade syllabus only yesterday, I'm scared

It's time for smart work

I will tell you all the important chapters

You can be fully prepared

You'll score 70 marks this time, gunshot!

Vinod

All the best [chorus]

All the best

The next one is obtuse angle, sir

Is it right what you did to Chanakya sir?

Wrong

What does wrong mean?

Minus

Leaving the house?

That is also another minus

- The change in you because of these - Plus

'Arun'

Who is it?

I can give you full marks for your 'bhajji'

Of course, even for your tuition

I'll give you decent marks

I can see a lot of improvement in Zero

What is your qualification?

I failed 10th grade, sir

10th fail

So it is LHS = RHS

Are you making him mug up Maths?

Arun, explain BODMAS principal to sir

BODMAS is simply me

In the brackets of friendship

First, Pavan got divided

My problems multiplied with failure

After Kiran added as a friend

All my doubts got subtracted

If I want the correct answer in Maths also

I should follow the same order

If you keep linking like this as you wish

Your Maths will be the same as the ring of your calling bell

Rest assured he will fail!

- Arun, go and get water for sir - Okay, ma

Sir

21 days after he was born

Total confusion at home

Naming ceremony at home

My mother-in-law wanted to name him Anantha Phani Sharma after my father-in-law

According to his horoscope

My brother wanted to name him Pradyumna

If the name started with A

My husband thought he'll be ahead of everyone

I didn't want any of this

I wanted my son to shine like the morning sun

I fought with everyone

Pleaded

Convinced them

A name with the same meaning as his grandfather's

Starting with the same letter my husband wanted

And as I wished

I held my husband's hand and with a turmeric stick on rice

I wrote Sripathy Panditharadhyula

Shivashanmukha Venkata Satyasai Arun Sharma

I couldn't control my excitement

I whispered the name in his ear myself

From that moment till now

I did not call him with any other pet name other than Arun

You said he is improving, right?

If you change the name 'Zero'

It will be better

10th fail

- [Telugu] Zero! - 'Coming, sir'

He is replying

I changed it Are you happy?

- 'Arun' - Ma?

What do you call something that doesn't change in Algebra?

Constant, ma

'Good job'

The annual exams are starting tomorrow

Make sure all the students attend it

- Sure, sir - Definitely

Chanakya

Please wait

Is this

5th grade exam paper?

Or IIT question paper?

Thank you, sir

Always, I give my best

Good questions, I agree

But this feels like you're taking revenge on that young boy

Nothing like that, sir

In the case of school's standard

You always tell us not to compromise, right?

Logically you are correct

But morally

- Peon - Sir

Send it for printing

Thank you, sir

Chanakya

Sometimes

We win and yet we keep losing

In the picnic issue

When the students supported Arun

Didn't you feel they drifted far away from you?

No, sir

All I want is

Not good rapport with my students

But they should make it good in life

'9 cube + 10 cube'

'= to 12 cube +'

Amma...?

Chanakya sir won't deliberately fail me, right?

Arun

Stop you stupid thoughts and tell me the formula to solve this

- Kiran, tell me - I am principal Bucchi Reddy speaking

Principal sir

Wait

Talk now

Hello...sir, how are you?

'I am good, madam'

'Is Arun preparing well for his exams?'

We just started the revision of important chapters

'It is not enough if he focuses only on the important chapters'

'He has to cover the entire syllabus if he has to pass the annual exam'

'Please ensure he is well prepared'

- 'I'll hang up' - Okay, sir

'Amma, I should pass in Maths'

'Win over Chanakya sir and stay in that class'

'[Telugu] Hey Zero!'

'I changed it Are you happy?'

Mother is '10th fail' Son is '5th fail'

'Birds of the same feather indeed!'

'You can teach Maths to an infant also easily'

'From LKG to 5th grade'

'I'll teach you all the sums in Maths'

'Come'

Amma

If I fail

They will dismiss me from school

Kiran, my brother, my class friends

I don't want to lose any of them

1st grade to 5th grade

You studied 51 chapters

You covered 84% of the syllabus

Only 16% is left

You can do it, my boy

Am I not faring well in Maths now?

Not just 35

Talk to the principal and tell him I will score 100% next time

Please, ma

After learning everything if you take 2 steps back in the final round

As your mother I'll believe in you

Everyone is not your mother, right?

If that stupid fever hadn't targeted me

I would have completed the entire syllabus

Passing is impossible now

Arun

The intelligence to find out which formula for which problem

Step by step, smartness to move

Learning to find shortcuts when needed

Your grit to fight till you get the answer

Even if we have 100 good qualities like these in us

The fear of failure

It will negate everything

100 x 0

Is?

Zero

These are

The number of days I took to become a teacher

The number of days my student took the book in his hand

For her son's success

The number of days your mom has been looking forward

This is a test for my belief

And your determination

Amma, what is the total?

68

Number of days since you asked me 'did you like what I cooked?'

It is the same 68

It is getting late

8 chapter in 8 hours

1 hour for each chapter, come on

It is the same number of days since dad called you Chinnu

'When we start moving from the negativity called 'Loss'

Towards the positivity called 'Win'

All of us pass a phase in life's journey

Zero

We have to cross that zero

We have to win

'No need of formula for this'

'9 x 9 x 9 = 729'

'10 x 10 x 10 = 1000'

'12 x 12 x 12 = 1728'

'So x = 1'

Arun

This is our exam

Arun

Get up, son

My boy

Arun

Please speed up, brother

Please

My dear Arun

Arun

Arun!!

It is getting late Ask him to go fast

Lie down quietly till we reach the hospital

Why are we going to the hospital?

- Pchht - Ammmmaaaa!

Daddy, please daddy

I have to go write the exam I studied really well

I have to pass

Zero is neither positive or negative

1 million = 10 lakhs, dad

- Daddy, please - You will surely pass

Daddy, please daddy

Amma will counting at home I have to go write the exam

I am telling you

Shut up

Bro, how much farther?

'We are almost there'

'Hospital is just round the corner'

'ARUN'

Arun?

How many absentees?

Sir, catch hold of him

Good morning, sir Good morning, ma'am

- Arun, stop - Peon, stop him

- Stop - Arun

Wait

Arun, it's a severe wound

Please move

Hey Arun, stop

Arun!

Read the 6th question as-

May I come in, sir?

Please, sir, let me write the exam

Please, sir

Late comers are not allowed

- Go - Please, sir

- Please - Out!

- Sir...please, sir - I am asking you to leave

- Arun - 'You annoying fellow!'

- Move - Sir, please

Sir, please, sir

- Take this - Sir, let him write the exam

- Arun - I will complain about you

- Sir, I studied really hard - Sir, please sir

- All of you, write the exam - Sir, please sir

Sir, please allow him to write the exam

- Sir, let him write - You are stamping my foot

- I'll complain to your parents - Anna, you go

- Go - Can't you listen?

Let him write, sir Poor boy, he really studied hard

When all of them asked him to copy he refused and said no

You all go and write your exam

Don't disturb me when I am writing my exam

'Arun, open the door'

'Arun'

You are a good student

You have proved it, Arun

You are promoted to 7th B

My parents told me, sir

Never to accept any free gifts from anyone

Promote me only if I pass in Maths

Arun, it will be a problem if the wound gets infected

'You first come out'

Sir, 1 minute

Arun

Hey! Do you think I will pass?

I did not complete the paper

Of course you will pass How many times will you ask me?

If dad comes back

And calls mom 'Chinnu', it means I passed

Otherwise, no

Call your mother

Gone case!

No doubt

I am sure I've failed

Amma?

Sorry, ma

We lost

Let it go

We tried our best, right?

Eat this

Telugu - 86

English - 78

'Anna, tell me what are you doing?'

It is getting cold Take it

Come here

Chinnu

To eat this sweet pongal

Even if it is Lord Srinivasa

He has come down from the seven hills

All is well indeed!

Daddy, repeat it

"He is the bestower of boons forever"

"He is the Lord of the heavens But still a child in the purest sense"

"His voice is divinely nectarous"

"To sing a lullaby for you splendorous"

Chinnu

Chinnu, open the door

- Chinnu - Amma

What is this madness for your mother and you?

You keep locking yourself in a room

Amma

'Amma'

'Open the door, ma'

Chinnu

Open the door, Chinnu

What an accomplishment indeed!

You cleared 10th grade?

Ma'am

"He is an ornament to sun He overflows with compassion"

"Though a warrior; an epitome of empathy He clasps the hand of Goddess Lakshmi"

"When He sees Earth's daughter unhappy nonchalant and normal he cannot be"

Dear

Sripathy Panditharadhyula

Shivashanmukha Venkata Satyasai Arun Sharma

No longer 'Zero' Are you happy?

Arun, I have a surprise for you

Hey! Pavan

Your son has passed Won't you give me a sweet?

Please, please come inside

Boys, come inside

Yes, yes we are coming

Arun, switch on the TV The match is on

'Just like this game'

'For students'

'If I want to teach Maths in a fun way'

'What should I do?'

'First you have to pass 10th grade'
