It is quite easy to learn to speak fluent English at home.

Learn English at any age in seven days.

Learn English in seven days and to talk any Englishman.

It is quite easy to learn English.

Let's begin with the basics.

If you wish to ask someone how they are doing.

You will say, how are you.

How Are You.. -Similarly.. -How are you!

If you want to tell someone to wear their shoes.

You will say put on your shoes.

Put on your shoes.

Repeat it once again.

Put on your shoes.

If you want to say come here, you will say please come here.

Father installed a dish television so that..

..we would listen to hymns in the mornings and evenings.

But you start with the English lessons..

..first thing in the morning.

Hurry up.

Pack Aman's lunch.

He never reaches school on time.

Come on, can't you say late?

My dear..

Aman reaches school "Late" every day.

See, the English atmosphere brings a smile to your face.

That's all I want.

But you are sending our son to a village school.

They don't teach English here.

And when I attempt to teach him, you don't support me.

So according to you..

..the person who doesn't know English is useless?

Yes, of course.

Your father doesn't know it either. So even he is useless?

I don't know.

All I know is that my son won't have a bright future..

..if he continues to study in this village school.

Oh come on, I too studied in the same school.

Your future hasn't been bright either, has it?

Look at uncle Fauji (army man) for example.

Whenever he passes by, says something, I feel irritated.

But as soon as he starts talking in English..

..my anger just disappears.

Mummy, I will be "Too late".

I am so happy with my "Too late" son.

Son, here's your lunch.

Go to school now. -Yes.

Daddy, drop me to school.

On your scooter.

I am going to Karali. I have some work.

I don't know.. please drop me to school.

You too enjoy scooter rides a lot.

Fine, hop on. -Here, good luck.

It is easy to learn Punjabi.

But it is equally easy to learn English too.

Learn to speak in English in just seven days.

Bye. -Bye, mummy..

..English is seven days.

Hello, Gurnam! -Hello!

There you go. Hop off.

You too enjoy scooter rides.

No, daddy. -Not the scooter rides, I enjoy being with you.

Bye, daddy.

God bless you, my child.

There are many officers..

..but educated officers are incomparable. -Yes.

You too are incomparable. -Right.

There is a reason for that as well.

Because you sit here and fight with each other.

I used to fight with the enemy at the border. -Yes.

As far as I remember, you joined in 1972 and retired in 1998.

Now no war took place between that period.

So which war did you participate in?

You have kept a report on me like the soldier board?

There were going to be many wars.

But I used to intervene and break the war.

Then you can't be called a war soldier, right?

You were just a soldier who stopped wars.

Right?

People talk nonsense without any sense.

I was a very hot-tempered soldier.

Once I had entered the enemy grounds alone with my tank.

I started firing. But they didn't fire back.

I was surprised.

They whole army got scared of a single officer?

After I went a few kilometers ahead..

..I learnt that I went to the wrong country.

We weren't at war with them.

It was a narrow road.

I couldn't even turn my tank around.

So, I rode the tank back for 8 kilometers on reverse gear.

Didn't I tell you so, son? -Yes. -Ask this kid.

I couldn't digest that.

There have been wars. -Hello. -But not all wars are made public.

This is the country's secret. Right?

Only I know how I chopped off enemy heads like carrots.

Let's go, son. I'll take you to school.

We are getting late.

Come to my house after school. We will fly kites.

Will you be an army officer like your grandfather? -Yes, I will.

Will you make your country proud? -Yes, I will.

Will you defeat your enemy? -Yes, I will.

Will you become an officer like your grandfather? -Yes, I will.

Your brother is great.

He has fought many wars.

He lies.

He was a cook in the army.

He has only fought with us.

Can't you guess from his stories?

I chopped off enemies like carrots.

He sometimes says I crushed them like chutneys.

What kind of war was he a part of..

..that it never left the kitchen?

Attention. -Attention. -Stand at ease. -Stand at ease.

Attention. -Attention.

Prayer position. You will start praying now. -Start praying.

Oh Lord, bless us with this boon.

Oh Lord, bless us with this boon.

Help us study, progress and become great.

Help us study, progress and become great.

Let's go to your class.

Let's go.

Has anyone watched the movie Subedar Kartar Singh?

It has been based on my grandfather.

Wasn't that Subedar Joginder Singh?

No, ours was made before that.

Liar.

Have you heard about the 1972's war?

The one where soldiers crossed the border? -Yes.

My grandfather was right in the front of the pack there.

Tank's brakes failed but he didn't back off.

Talk to him. He thinks I am lying. I'll thrash him.

Stop it. Sit quietly and listen to him.

You mind your own business.

Your grandfather has been a part of many wars in the army?

Many? I am sure he participated in..

..more than there actually were.

He wasn't like his grandfather who stayed..

..home and tended to the cattle.

My grandfather chopped off enemies like carrots. Like carrots.

He lies.

His father was a cook in the army.

Not the enemies, he used to chop off vegetables.

You didn't have a look at my grandfather's medals?

Forget me, you too haven't seen them.

Hear this.

He even stole cauliflower and sold it in the open market.

That's why they threw him out.

And those medals, he didn't get them, he bought them.

What did you say?

Just what everyone in the village says.

Cauliflower thief.

You..! -You!

I'll break your head!

Damn you all! -Sorry, sir.

Exams are just around the corner and you two are fighting.

This happens every day. Get out!

All of you look straight ahead.

If 40 is divided by 2 what do we get? -20.

Never sit like a rooster in front..

..of your grandfather the cook.

He'll cook you.

You bloody..! -Yes, sir.

What else did he say? -He said bloody..

Censor all the cusses.. I'll adjust the cusses on my own.

Tell me, what else did he say?

He said never sit like a rooster in front..

..of your grandfather, the cook.

Or else he will start cooking you as well.

Make some tea. Go in and make some tea.

What else did he say, son? -He said you didn't win any medals.

You bought them all from a scrap dealer.

You didn't fight any wars.

Go inside. I will tie his turban.

Turn around. Tell me, what else did he say?

He called you cauliflower thief.

Cauliflower thief?

This kid's tongue works like scissor.

I will have to talk to them. -You too go inside.

Forget it.. forget it, father.

What will you gain by fighting?

There is a lot to gain by fighting.

Our country has gained a lot by fighting wars.

If you don't want to come with me then turn around.

Father..

Father..

Come on out, Jagtara.

He is already out.

Come in, Jagtara.

Father, we won't fight.

Okay. -Then son, go and Jagna and get sweets.

We should offer them some sweets.

Their grandson has insulted your father well.

Nonstop nonsense.

Yes, uncle? What do you want to talk about?

Just because you are elder to us it doesn't mean..

..that we'll show you respect and..

..you'll keep creating a scene. - Guddi..

..your so-called father-in-law, no respect.

Your child, no respect.

Daily daily indiscipline.

This is just a..

Just a.. criminal..

Oh my. -And I mean..

He should feel ashamed.

Shame should come. -Oh my.

You speak such great English.

I.. respect these things.

Why are standing here and cursing us.

Come on in. Come in.

I'll make tea for you while father fixes the meter. -Okay. -Come.

Uncle, kids keep fighting over petty things.

It's not like bullets were fired. -Bullets were fired.

That's what I have come to tell you all.

I am the one who fired them at the border.

Would you believe that I was a part..

..of a war only if I had martyred?

Your son keeps calling me cook.

Fine, we will talk to him.

You should talk to yourself.

It is not bad thing to be a cook.

But it is a bad thing to lie.

He says he used to drive a tank.

Listen to me, you are under God's oath..

..tell me haven't you seen my picture with a tank?

I have. -So, I used to go near the tank to get apple gourds?

I used to fire canons.

Uncle, even I've posed for a picture..

..with an airplane in Chandigarh.

Does that mean I can pilot a plane? -Listen to me!

You better talk to your son.

I will peel his skin like that of garlic. -There.

Now he speaks the truth.

Peel his skin like that of garlic.

Don't make me strangle you, old man. I am warning you.

As if you are a 16 year old. You are addressing me as old man?

You bloody fool, I will kill you. -Keep killing!

Stop. -I don't care about your killings.

Stop. Stop..

Now hear my daughter-in-law talk in English.

End. -End and stop.

That's all?

You don't know more than two words in English?

Say something else. He has said so many things.

Stick to Punjabi, you illiterate fellow.

I can take you on in Punjabi whenever and wherever you want.

Wherever? I don't need to take a rickshaw to come here.

I am standing right here. -What's this commotion about, my friend?

Then curse me. -No, you curse me.

You are elder to me. You do it.

I said what's this commotion about?

Hey you security guard, don't interfere today. -I am warning you.

Today I will shoot at the enemy at home.

Listen to me, Mr. Fauji.

Let me go. I don't want to hear anything.

Listen to me. -Move away.

Let him go, this Mr. Oh So Great Officer.

Let me see what he is made of.

Useless people talking nonsense here.

As if you are a prince of some kingdom. -Get lost.

What are you doing, man?

You are an ex-army man, Kartar Singh.

It doesn't suit you to fight with such worthless people.

It is understandable if you fight someone who is your equal.

Right? Let go of your anger. -I will go and talk to him.

What will you go and tell him? -That Mr. Fauji is a great man.

He is well respected in the area.

They will get into trouble if they mess with you.

And that is true.

I will tell them that as well. -Okay.

Tell the truth and stay happy.

Fighting doesn't help anyone anyway.

Brother..

Brother, this old man has lost his mind.

It's not right for someone as smart as..

..you to argue with someone like him.

He is a worthless person, that's why I made him go away.

You should now go and sit on the cot and relax.

Guddi, go and make some tea.

It takes a lot of energy to fight.

Okay then, see you after the next fight.

Okay, uncle? -Okay.

Gate will break. -No, it won't.

Gate will break. -How much will you score in English this time?

Mummy, I don't understand half the..

..things the English teacher says.

And for the other half we have brought the greens with us.

I have brought greens for science..

..maths and every other subject.

Did you understand? -We will give it to your headmaster.

He will handle everything and distribute it. -Okay.

Study hard, and I and my bottle gourd will handle the rest.

Okay. -Go, go, go.

I have just realized..

You have married into the right family, dear.

You are illiterate like your grandfather.

And you are like your husband.

No person intelligent in the house.

How so?

Illiterates, headmaster has kidney stones.

People who have kidney stones aren't..

..even allowed to look at greens.

And you have brought greens for him.

Here's bottle gourd. It is very good for kidney stones.

I have brought that for him.

Uncle first of all your bottle gourd..

..won't help your Gagan even clear the drawing exam.

Secondly, it is the headmaster has..

..kidney stones and not his family.

Let's go, Aman.

Wonderful.

Illiterate people too say intelligent things sometimes. Great.

I have brought bottle gourd for you.

Look, I can manage to eat greens and bottle gourd on my own.

Government pays me well enough for that.

Sir, you should take care of Aman.

I had only brought it for your guard. -Not guard, regard.

Whatever. -Your kids can have it.

Look sister, a kid's first school is his house.

And his parents are his first teachers.

Kids only learn what their parents teach them.

Now just imagine what will your kids learn..

..when they will see you doing such things.

Bye. It's time for me to go to my class.

Goodbye. -Goodbye.

Sorry, sir.

Mr. Fauji, our headmaster has a modern school of thought.

I have a weak eyesight.

Doctor has advised me to have bottle gourd and greens.

If you could..

Here you go. -Here you go.

You should improve your eyesight. -Thank you.

Listen, why do you interrupt when..

..I am talking to the villagers?

I forget half the wars I have fought because of you.

You forget half the wars you have fought?

Yes. -If I start recalling all the wars I have fought..

..then I would speak about two wars every afternoon.

Mr. Fauji, here you are talking the afternoon away.

I went to your house looking for you.

You found me?

Now tell me, what is the emergency?

A schoolteacher from my school is coming..

..here tomorrow with a few students.

So? -To show them how a village looks like.

Well, those kids talk in rapid English.

She asked me to arrange for an educated..

..person in the village..

Someone who will show them around. What do you call them?

The one who shows around. MBD type.

A guide. -Yes, that's what she had said.

You are well educated. You understood me in no time.

So be ready tomorrow to be their guide.

I will give them the information they need. -Okay.

But first find out whether the teacher and the students..

..are as good in English as I am.

I don't want my English to over their heads.

My English will go waste.

Don't worry about that.

The students are as good in English as you are.

You stay with them as their guide.

Okay? -Don't you worry.

The wheels on the bus go round and round.

We have reached my village.

Go this way. -Round and round.

Round and round.

The wheels on the bus go round and round.

Stop the bus at that corner.

Yes, turn.

The bus is here.

Stop the bus.

Retha is with them.

Stop! -Round and round.

Stop! -Round and round.

Come on, kids.

In a queue.

Come down, come down.

All the kids come down. -One by one.

Slowly, slowly. -Come Come.

Come on. -Look at my school's kids. They are so excited.

They are dancing on a cart.

Come here, kids.

Don't go there. -Everyone.

Fast.

Come, line up here.

Everyone come.

Everyone come.

Be careful. Are you okay?

Stand in a line, quickly.

Stay quiet and form one single line.

If you help me to manage you all..

..I promise you I'll make this trip even more enjoyable. -Got it?

Yes, ma'am. -Super!

Wow, beautiful!

Seems like we are going to have a great day, ma'am.

Yes of course, we will.

Ma'am, there are little buffalos.

They are so cute.

They are very cute.

Ma'am.. why is there a huge football over there?

Does anybody play with that?

That's actually not a football.

That's a water tank.

Water tank? What kind of a water tank is that?

I am not sure but I can check.

Mr. Iqbal, why do they have that kind of a water tank there?

Sorry, wrong person.

Where's your guide?

He'll be here soon.

There he is.

Come here, Mr. Fauji. -Fauji is here.

Fauji is here.

There is no one more educated than him in this village.

Look at the way he is getting down.

Kids, wish him.

Good afternoon, sir.

Hi sir, I am Myra. I work as a counselor in the school.

Oh.

I Kartar Singh. Lance Naik Kartar Singh.

Ex-army.

In English emergency, high alert, people call me.

And this is my grandson.

Gagandeep Singh. -Funny.

Very educated.

Like them.

Speaks excellent English.

Ask whatever you want.

Actually the kids wanted to ask, why have the villages..

..made these tanks like this.

Tanks? -Yeah.

Tank is very important.

We have "Very tank" in the army.

You know what a tank does?

It fires huge canons.

No no sir, I am not talking about those tanks.

I am talking about the water tanks..

..which are in the shame of an aeroplane, football, birds.

What is she talking about? -Yeah. -Football. Very good question.

In village, every boy play football.

You know football? Foot, kick?

Kids, I don't think he knows what we are asking him.

So, why don't we actually just head to the fields?

Maybe he can tell us a little about the crops? -Yes, ma'am.

So let's head towards the fields. -Answer, answer.

Come on, kids. -I will answer.

Let's go. -Let's go to the fields.

Shall we follow them?

Come on, let's go.

Ma'am? -Yes? -Which type of crop is this?

Let me ask this gentleman.

Which crop is this?

This is crop.

Very common crop of village. Rice.

Rice you eat.

Sometimes with salt and sometimes without salt.

Oh so this is the paddy.

This is where the rice grows.

Can you also actually tell them how is..

..the grain separated from the crop?

When the crop grows this tall..

..it is ready to be harvested.

It's red, all red.

And just come out of the ground.

All done.

And then it is round.

Round and round and round.

Careful, don't crush any child in the combine.

Come back. -Round and round.

It is a big-big round. It is combine big round.

Kids understood.

Ma'am, I don't think that this gentleman can help us.

Kshitij, I think you are right.

Let's go and find it out for ourselves.

Okay, ma'am. -Thank you, sir.

I'll take your leave now. Thank you for all the help.

What did that teacher and the kid say while leaving?

Nothing. They just said you are such an educated man..

..what are you doing with these uneducated people?

Very beautiful. -Hi.

Hello. -Hi champ, how are you?

Son, step forward and talk to her.

In English.

I am fine, madamji.

You can call me ma'am.

Ma'am, you can ask him whatever you want.

In English.

Okay. -These kids are very curious about your village.

Can you tell us something about your village?

About the water tanks or about the crops?

Mummy, uncle has already told them about it.

Now you tell them.

They teach you English in school, don't they?

Mummy, they teach us different kind of English.

They don't teach this kind of English.

Ma'am, it's so strange.

Even the school kids can't speak English.

That's okay. Never mind.

We'll just go that way, okay?

Bye.

Bye. -Bye.

Bye. -Bye.

Bye. -Bye. -Come this way, kids. Be very careful.

Don't fall down.

Karan, don't be naughty.

Come this side.

Okay son, solve this puzzle.

Two pigeons keep fighting.

Their wings keep soaring.

You tell me.

Cutter.

The cutter that chops fodder. -Yes.

Go to sleep already.

How can I sleep?

My son is lagging behind.

You should have seen those city kids.

They were talking in fluent English.

Our child is also learning to.

Where? In this village school?

Madamji asked one question in English.

He hid behind me.

He said, "Mummy, they don't teach us this kind of English."

Manjeet, he is still young. He is just a kid.

They were younger than him.

If they had started talking to you in English..

..then you wouldn't have found a way to escape.

Look at you crying like a fool.

You are behaving as if they have file..

..a complaint against your son..

..at the police station because he doesn't know English.

Only a mother knows what a mother feels.

Let him stay in school here this year.

We will see what we can do next year.

Happy now?

Okay.

Go to sleep now.

Will you make your grandfather proud? -Yes, I will.

Will you be an officer like your grandfather? -Yes, I will.

Hail Jyoti Model School! -Hail!

Harbans Kaur, congratulations to you.

Here, Jag.. -He got the admission?

Oh my baby. -Hold the scooter.

God bless you, my boy.

Here dear, have some sweets.

Give some to him as well. -Here Jagmail.

Gagan has got admission in Dugri's Jyoti Model School.

Yes. -Come here.

English Medium. -Yes.

Meeto, my dear.. -Yes?

This must have left a bitter taste in the enemy's mouth.

Feed them something sweet. -Okay.

Now our Gagan will speak fluent English.

And it will give our enemy a stomachache.

Come on, let's offer some sweets to Sweetie and Titu as well.

Give it here, son.

Here Sweetie and Titu, sweeten your beaks as well.

Why aren't having it, son? -Here. -I don't want it. -Why?

I want to eat Titu. -I'll slap you if you even look at Titu.

Even the British don't love their mother tongue..

..as much as my daughter-in-law loves English.

Here, he is back after enquiring about the school.

What are you doing, father?

When you can see that I am peeling onions..

..then do you really want me to say it..

..so that the neighbors can hear it?

She has taken offense and hence sitting up there.

I am making dinner.

I have found out about Jyoti Model School.

Aman will get admission in it. -They charge 1000 rupees as fees.

1000 rupees? -Yes.

Let her bridle.

I'll handle the meals.

I don't want my son to go to Jyoti English Medium School.

Their English is mediocre.

She knows everything.

I want Aman to go to the school where brother..

..Retha works as a security guard.

Where brother Retha works?

They won't even let us stand at its gate.

Officer's kids study there.

This means that our Aman will never become an officer?

Nor will his kids? -They will keep standing at its gate? -Oh no.

Just thinking about it gives me chills.

I'll do something untoward today. Oh God!

Father, if she jumps off the terrace..

..we both will get arrested.

Think over it.

No one will bail us out.

Fauji will testify against us.

That's what I am saying.

Then find a solution.

Go on.

Manjeet..

Come downstairs.

I'll invite brother Retha for dinner.

We will find a solution.

Make okra for him.

Really? -Come downstairs.

Get down slowly.

We can get arrested even if she sprains her ankle.

Get up, I'll do it.

Go and rest.

Here brother Retha..

..I've brought English liquor especially for you.

Gagan, come here son. -You will have to offer me English liquor..

..when you wish to make your son to go to an English school.

Here, brother.

I have made okra for you.

Look at that.

They talk about English school and offer okra with alcohol.

You should let your son stay in village school.

No, brother Retha.

You know we don't drink. -We don't know what works with alcohol.

You should serve meat with alcohol.

Where can we find chicken at this hour?

No shops will be open.

Sometimes a few neighboring shops are open.

I'll arrange for one.

Grandpa, come here.

What happened, son?

Grandpa, Titu is missing. -Well done.

My boy is speaking in fluent English.

Well done, Jyoti Model.

Grandpa, Titu is missing.

Don't make me slap you.

From where did he go missing? -Look, he is not in there.

Hold this. -Look for him over there.

Titu!

Brother, do you want more of Titu's gravy?

No more gravy, give me a leg piece if there is any left.

There is one piece left.

I don't know whether it's the leg or arms.

You might not eat meat, but you at least should know..

..that chicken only has legs and has no arms.

You too eat it at someone or the other's place every day.

You too should also know that a chicken..

..has only two leg pieces.

You have eaten both of them.

Now do you want me to serve you my leg instead?

Your acts suggest that you should be kicked.

Have you see our Titu anywhere?

Seen him?

We ate him. Your Titu was delicious.

Titu!

My Titu..

Don't cry, brother.

I'll go with you tomorrow.. -Uncle..

I'll go with you to immerse his ashes into the water.

I'll file a complaint against each one of you.

Who will you file a complaint against?

The one who kidnapped him or the one who ate him?

I will file a complaint against your whole family. -And also you.

Which police station will accept a complaint for a chicken?

Anything is possible for a high-ranking officer.

Stop talking nonsense.

Uncle, I apologize on everyone's behalf.

We had invited brother Retha for dinner.

For Aman's education sake.

Actually, uncle..

..we wish to get Aman admitted in the school where he works.

He said that okra won't work.

That's why father kidnapped your Titu.

Enjoy your dinner. -Okay.

Enjoy Titu.

Enough uncle, not anymore.

I need to perform my duty at the school.

I need to be alert.

Should I offer you more chicken?

What else have you made it for?

It's not like it will lay anymore eggs.

What have you made?

Our enemies killed Titu.

Sweetie was sad and missing him.

So we decided to give it to you.

That means their graves lie in my stomach.

Retha.. -Yes.

I need a favor. -Tell me.

I heard Gurnam wants their son to study in your school?

They are committing suicide.

They charge 250,000 rupees fees for a year.

250,000 rupees?

Why, do they return the child dipped in gold after a year?

I don't know that. But they do turn them into gold.

This is serious then.

Do one thing. -Do me a small favor.

I'll sacrifice all the Sweeties and Titus for you.

You want your son to also study in this school?

No. -Then?

Just make sure their son doesn't get admission in your school.

Titu's revenge? -No.

Enmity.

Their son cannot be better than our son.

Instead of not letting theirs get the admission..

..why don't you put yours also in this school?

Have you gone crazy?

I am a well-educated man.

Why would I give 250,000 rupees to any school?

But how will I stop them?

You are a person of brigadier rank.

Find a solution.

I'll treat you like a brigadier.

Really?

Do you want more of Titu's Sweetie's curry?

A group that kidnaps kids quite active in the city.

They showed the same news on the television last night.

Government asked parents and security guards to be alert.

Show it to me. -Why? Are you more educated than I am?

I am a graduate in arts.

These kidnappers can come posing as husband and wife.

Okay.

Excuse me, I will be right back.

Okay.

Hello?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir, it was handled.

This is the school?

Seems so.

Class third, please go to activity area.

I repeat class third, please go to activity area.

Thank you.

Tanmay pass me the basket ball.

Tanmay pass me the basket ball.

Mummy, can I go and drink some water?

Water cooler is over there. -Yes, go on.

Oh yeah, good shot. Good thinking.

I have been late today.

I am fast.

Are they kidnappers?

Yes, it's them.

Let's go and get them.

Miss. Malti, please come to Admin Block. -Hi!

Yes? -Hello.

Where are you going? -Hello, brother. -Hello is fine.

But what are you doing here?

Nothing brother, we just came to see the school.

See it? It isn't Taj Mahal.

Tell us the truth. What are you doing here?

We had come to see hi-fi kids.

To see them or kidnap them?

No! -Call the cops. -It's not so. -We have caught kidnappers.

Come with us. -It's not so. -You too madam. -Come with us.

We had come to see the school. -We read it in the newspaper..

..and also saw it on the television. Shut up and come with us.

No, brother. This is a limit. -Come with us.

Where are you taking them? What's happening out here?

Hello, ma'am. -Hello, ma'am.

Ma'am they are kidnappers. -It is not so.

Ma'am, you had come to our village that day..

Yes. What are you doing here?

We had come to get our child admitted here.

Okay. You may leave.

Have you spoken to anyone inside? -Yes, I had spoken to..

Okay, let me take you inside.

Okay, ma'am. Give me just a minute. -Aman!

Aman!

Hi champ, how are you? -Hello, ma'am.

Okay. Come. -Yes, let's go.

Mr. Iqbal, where were you? They have been waiting for you.

I was running around for them only.

They said they wanted to see the school.

So I had gone inside to seek permission.

Okay fine, I'll give them a tour. -Okay, ma'am. -Please come.

Let's go.

You had gotten us into trouble today. -We barely escaped. -What?

You should answer your phone at least.

Ma'am, this is the form.

Mr. Iqbal, I am going to the office.

Please help them with whatever they require.

Okay, ma'am. -Okay, thank you. -Bye. -Bye, champ.

Bye. -Sure, sir.

Brother, it is such a nice school.

Get Aman admitted here. -I have already spoken to them.

I'll talk to them again, come with me.

Thank you, ma'am. You are welcome. -Hello, madam! -Good morning.

Hello. -Give us an admission form. -Yes. Name please.

Gurnam Singh. -Manjeet Kaur.

What?

You two want admission? -Give her your child's name.

Amandeep Singh.

Okay.

How's your tuition teacher?

Good.

1000 rupees.

Here's the form.

Hand two 500s to her.

Thank you, God. -Here's the fees.

My son too will talk in rapid English.

Take this.

You don't understand..

What are you doing, man?

What are you doing?

You got him admission to this school.

He hasn't been admitted yet.

They have given you a form to fill.

What did she take 1000 for then?

To tell you..

Whether or not he will get admitted. -Hello!

Okay. -They charge 5000 for it.

They charged 1000 because of me.

Fill the form.

It is in English, brother.

It's okay. -Uncle Fauji is well educated.

We will ask him to fill it. -He is half-crazy, that old man.

Don't give it to him.

He will tear it apart.

Yes. -Get it filled by someone else. -Okay? -Okay.

Okay, let me get back to duty.

Kidnappers are quite active these days. -Let's go.

Let's go. Hurry up. -Okay.

27th it was curry and rice.

28th it was porridge.

On 29th.. -Hello, sir.

Hello, sir. -Hello.

How are you, son? Good? -Have a seat.

I was wondering why haven't you reenrolled him..

..when everyone in the village has done so.

No, we are going to send Aman to..

..an English school in the city.

Okay.

So I guess you have come just to seek my blessings.

Seek your blessings as well as seek..

..your help in filling the form.

Sure. -It would be great if you fill it.

Hebron world school?

It is a nice school.

But I heard it is quite expensive.

It is quite expensive.

Yes. -But he is my only child.

We thought it'd help Aman if he gets educated..

..in an English Medium school.

You mean he wouldn't have been able to do anything..

..if he continued to study here?

No, it is not so, sir.

Anyway, forget it.

It's not just you who thinks like that.

There are many who themselves studied here..

..became successful and yet think so.

Forget it. Let's fill the form.

It is a very big form. -Yes.

You will manage to fill it, right?

I mean it is not in the kind of English you teach here.

It's okay. I will try.

I might be able to fill it.

Shamsher Singh, they are going to send their son..

..to an English Medium school.

Now you will have to treasure the Punjabi heritage. Okay?

Madam, we have submitted the admission form.

Oh that's good.

They too said that it's good.

So, should we send our boy here from tomorrow?

It's not that easy.

There will be an interview before the admission.

Then there will be some tests.

After that, they will decide about admission.

This means he hasn't been admitted as yet?

There they are.

Hello!

Hello. -Hello. -Hello.

She is the lady who will tell you everything..

..about the school interview.

Hi, I am Tina Katuria. I am your admission counselor.

Have a seat. -Please, sit! -Please have a seat. -Thank you.

Please have a seat. -Tell them what you told me.

I have studied your case.

Your son can get admission only under one scenario.

If the student's father is settled abroad.

In simple words..

..you are working in a transport company in Canada.

But brother, I cannot lie.

You will have to lie only if you go before them.

Remember you are in Canada, behind wheels.

Sister-in-law will handle the rest.

She even looks more educated than you.

I'll handle it.

But Manjeet, I don't feel like cheating them.

It's okay.

If saying that gets our son admission in that school..

..then there is no harm in it.

Sister, if they get caught tomorrow..

..I hope they won't arrest his grandfather.

Nothing will happen, father.

Madam, you should start with the preparations.

Sure. -Great.

Start preparing.

My father lives in Canada. -Yes.

He is.. -Aman, you'll have you in the next 15 minutes.

Where is his father?

Where is his father?

He's in Canada.

He's a transporter. -Canada?

Then who signed this?

He was here yesterday.

Yes, and he will be here today as well.

Their sub village is called Canada.

It is close to Kharal.

He'll be here soon. -Yes.

He'll be here soon. -Yes. He'll be here in 10 minutes.

Ask him to hurry up.

Both parents need to be present for the interview. -Okay.

Call the NRI up. -Hurry up!

Who is it?

I think he got the admission.

Hello? -Where are you?

At home.

Come to the school at once.

They know you are Aman's father is here.

Hurry up. -Until yesterday, I was in Canada.

I already got deported from there?

Consider what you want to. You come here quickly.

I had told you not to do this.

Okay, I am coming.

Daddy..

How did they find out that I am here?

The witch brother Retha had brought along.. -Yes?

She didn't read the form.

And she made him memorize something completely different.

I don't know what to do. -You have come?

Yes, yes. -Please come in. -Yes, we are coming.

Listen to me.

I am your father. And I stay here.

Okay? Remember that.

Let's go.

May we come in? -Please come.

Hello!

Good morning. -Good morning.

Please be seated. -Excuse me?

Have a seat, please.

So, mister..

Gurnam Singh.

And?

I am Manjeet Kaur.

So Mr. Gurnam Singh..

What is your occupation?

What work do you do?

I am a farmer. I work in the fields.

Okay. -Okay, kindly share your views about..

..the current education system.

Sir? -Education system.

This school, good education.

Village school, no good.

I (know) English..

He doesn't know English.

Excellent. I am enlightened.

Will he get the admission?

Okay, tell me something about yourself.

My name is Amandeep Singh.

My father's name is Sardar. Gurnam Singh.

My mother's name is Manjeet Kaur.

He lives in Canada. He's a transporter.

That's why he couldn't come. He loves me so much.

Who is he?

He's my father.

And who lives in Canada?

My father.

What does he do?

What work does he do? -He's a transporter.

He's a farmer.

And.. what did you say earlier?

What did you say earlier?

I made a mistake.

Ma'am, we apologize.

We are simple people.

We have never intended to do anything wrong.

We did this for our son's future..

..so that he'd get admission in your school.

He'll get a good education and he'll have a bright future.

We didn't.

Only because of that, he prepared as he was asked to.

Madamji, if you give him admission..

..then our child could get a good education..

..and have a bright future.

We couldn't.

Sir, this won't help much now.

Don't say that.

We had a desire to get our child educated here.

We made a mistake because of that.

It's not our son's fault.

Don't take away his right to good..

..education because of our mistake.

Please admit him.

I am requesting you to.

We are sorry. You may go.

Ma'am! -You may go.

Madam..

Please wait outside. I'll join you.

Myra madam, please rethink about it.

Please rethink about it.

Okay.

Excuse me.

Mr. And Mrs. Singh?

I'll try once again.

Please wait outside.

Okay. Please try your best.

It's okay.

Ma'am, please try and understand.

They are very sweet and innocent people.

And like every other parent they just have one dream..

..that they should sent their child..

..to the best of the best institution to study.

And only because of that dream..

And because of that dream they are trying to fool the school..

..your so called sweet and innocent people.

No no, sir. It's not like that. They.. -Then they are fools..

..and in both cases we cannot admit the child.

Sir, please try and look at it from a different point of view.

Miss. Myra, I am the vice principal of this school.

The sooner you understand the better.

I am sorry, sir. I did not mean to..

I honestly, truly believe that Aman deserves a chance.

Myra..

Along with being an educational institute..

..a school is also a business organization.

And like all other business organizations..

..we also have our competitions, with other schools.

Agreed, ma'am. -But what if we make this raw kid shine?

It is possible that our school's reputation might..

Reputation, Miss. Myra.. -This school's reputation is such..

..that this city's creamy layer..

..come here for their children's education.

Our filter is so strong that many kids don't get seats here.

What will we tell them?

Admin quota?

Ma'am, what if we give Aman a seat..

..from the admin quota which is reserved for me?

I am sure this can be worked out.

And I take full responsibility of Aman.

I will personally look after him.

Miss. Myra, why don't you understand?

That child doesn't match our school's standard.

And he cannot even cope up with it.

Sir, we have a seat vacant in the fourth grade.

In the right to education quota. Below poverty line.

If we convert that seat into a general quota..

..I mean with regular fees..

..then it will be beneficial for both our school..

..as well as for Miss. Myra's initiative.

Ma'am, that's a possibility, please consider.

Okay.

We can consider the child.

For fourth grade.

But only if the parents agree.

Thank you, ma'am.

This is a joke.

But to go back two years?

I have convinced the school administration..

..with great difficulty.

They think Aman's previous school's education standard..

..doesn't match this school's standards.

That's why fourth grade.

It's okay.

He might walk two steps slower but he will walk with pride.

At least my son will become an officer..

..even if two years later. -You give him the admission. -Okay.

Submit these forms to the accounts department.

They will explain the whole fees structure. -Okay.

By the way, what's the fees?

250,000.

250,000 rupees.

250,000 rupees?

Till the ten grade, you mean?

No, for one year.

For one year?

Yes.

Bye. -We'll let you know.

Bye, champ. -Bye.

Fine!

Did you hear it right?

They might have said 2,500.

The fee is 250,000 rupees.

Really?

Is someone else too sending his or her child there?

Or are they start from us?

Many kids attend that school.

Look son, we cannot afford to.

Father, we will find a solution.

We have 150,000 saved for the bore well.

Our harvest is growing.

Motor isn't doing its job.

Think about it, son. We will face a crunch.

I have spoken to Harnam.

He said he will give us water if needed.

We need to give the balance fees in installments.

We will soon have the harvest ready.

You have done all the math.

You just need me to say yes.

Fine, I will say yes.

Send him to a city school. We will manage it somehow.

Okay Mr. Singh, you can give this form at the reception.

Miss Malini will let you know where can..

..you buy the books and uniform from.

Okay. -Okay.

And one more thing, Mr. Singh. -Yes? -Along with other subjects..

..kids also have to choose an optional language.

You can take French or Punjabi.

You teach Punjabi here?

We were scared that our Aman would forget Punjabi.

We won't be able to communicate with us.

Yes. What will we do with a foreign language like French?

Okay.

Manjeet! -Yes.

Hurry up.

Aman is getting late for school.

Yes for Hebron World school.

It's not Jyoti Model school..

..where you can go whenever you please.

It's the best school in the city.

Kids of high-ranking officers study there.

It's his first day.

Make sure to pack his lunchbox too.

Those who used to say Tiffin and now saying lunchbox.

Such a big change in just one day?

Show-offs.

Wait, I am coming.

With the lunchbox.

Even the scooter is talking in English today.

Its goes vroom-vroom.

I seek your blessings, grandpa. -God bless you, son.

Bless you.

Learn fluent English. -Okay.

Study hard, son. -Okay.

Don't learn fake English like the neighbors.

Okay? -Okay.

We have spent 250,000 rupees. 250,000.

Go on, very good. -Let's go.

Son, hop on. Let's go to school.

I don't know about their lunchbox..

..I will make sure Retha has his last meal tonight.

You should touch your teachers' feet.

Bye, momma. -Bye. -Go on, kids.

There you go. -Hurry up. Morning! -Keep walking, come on.

Keep walking, come on. -Wait, buddy. -Hurry up! -Bye, momma.

See you, kiddo. Bye.

Bye. Study well.

Bye, daddy. -What is this bye?

First of all, you cannot talk in Punjabi here.

Secondly, if you want him to stay rustic..

..then why send him to such a big school?

Make your son say what other kids says. See you.

See you? -Daddy, it means I will see you.

I too will see you, son.

Doesn't that sound like a cuss?

This is what it is, brother.

What feels like a cuss in Punjabi..

..is known as etiquette in English.

Wow!

"Bind us together, Lord."

"Bind us together, Lord."

"Bind us together, in love."

"Bind us together, Lord."

"Bind us together, Lord."

"Bind us together, Lord."

"Bind us together, Lord."

"Bind us together, in love."

"There is only one God."

"There is only one being."

"There is only one body."

"That is why we say.."

"Bind us together, Lord."

"Bind us together, Lord."

"Bind us together, Lord."

"Bind us together, Lord."

"Bind us together, in love."

"Bind us together, in love."

"Bind us together, in love."

Good morning, ma'am. -Good morning.

Good morning, ma'am. -Good morning.

Good morning, ma'am. -Good morning, ma'am.

Good morning, ma'am. -Good morning, ma'am.

Aman, what are you doing?

Madam, I am seeking your blessings.

My parents used to say that a child..

..who seeks blessings from his educator succeeds.

Aman, respect should be in your heart.

And it will show through.

So from tomorrow..

..just a sweet smiling good morning..

..is more than enough for now.

Go now. Bye. -Okay.

He is here.

Hello.

Good morning.

Good morning, madam.

Simar, start.

"Mummy, they don't teach us this kind of English."

Madam..

Hello, uncle.

Stupid village guy.

Class stand.

Jai Hind!

Good morning, madam.

Silence, kids.

Why are you laughing?

Keep quiet.

And listen, if he has come from a village school..

..and if he does not know English then..

..we should all help him, right?

Yes, ma'am. -Good.

Retha!

Retha! Come out!

Hello, uncle!

What makes you come to my house today?

I have come to crush you.

I treated you like a brigadier..

..when no officer wouldn't even let you clean his car.

Listen to me, uncle. -Why should I listen to you?

You couldn't stop two people from entering the school.

What kind of a security guard are you?

Uncle.. -You are a useless security guard.

Tell the truth and stay happy.

I had even accused them of being kidnappers.

But they didn't back away.

You should have made some other accusation.

You should have said that their child is crazy.

He will throw other kids.

They don't believe in Punjabi accusations..

..in an English school.

Then you should've said something else and stopped them.

I am feeling so angry with you.

I feel like tearing your stomach apart..

..and pulling my Sweetie out.

Their son got admission in the school.

We won't even get egg anymore.

Why are you getting so angry, uncle?

Even though their child studies in a hi-fi school..

..he will still lag behind your grandson.

That's different.

They cannot teach him what I will.

No, I am talking about something else.

What? -I was stayed adamant..

..on admitting their child in the fourth..

..grade instead of the sixth.

And they did it.

Should I join you for dinner tonight?

Should I?

See you, grandpa.

What is wrong?

Today he touched my hand instead of my leg and left.

His school asked him not to do it.

Why does his school have issues with me?

Didn't you tell them that I am the..

..one who paid that 250,000 rupees?

Father, if we need to progress nowadays..

..then we need to start saying hello..

..and hi instead of touching feet.

Dear, with the money we have given to the school..

..forget them touching our feet..

..they've even stopped our child too from doing so.

Hello, lunchbox people.

Did you just spend 250,000 rupees to..

..have him address Tiffin as lunchbox.

Welcome, uncle.

I too was wondering why you haven't showed up since many days.

How are you, son?

Good. -What grade are you in?

Fourth. -Oh damn.

I was mistaken that he used to study in the village school..

..with our boy here in the fifth grade.

That means he was in the third grade in the village school?

No, he was in the fifth grade..

..in the village school. -Really? -Shame on you.

Your educated uncle stays just next door, you illiterates.

You should have asked me.

Sixth grade comes after fifth grade and not the fourth grade.

Perhaps you don't know that expensive schools..

..admit the students from other schools in a class lower.

So that their foundation is strong.

So that their foundation is strong!

Why do you want to run a lanter on him?

You keep quiet, I am warning you.

Uncle, I am sure you must've heard..

..the rabbit and tortoise story. -Yes.

No matter how fast a rabbit is, it is the tortoise who wins.

He had won son..

..but you have put your tortoise on a reverse gear.

It's okay. -In another two years, he will be in the first grade.

Uncle, don't feel jealous. Try to match up.

Oh wonderful. -Let's go.

I should match up with you and send..

..my grandson to the third grade? -Yeah?

Son, make sure you reach school on time.

It's okay if you forget your bag..

..but don't forget the lunchbox.

Who knows they might be filling it with porridge. -Let's go, son.

Let's go. -Let me drop you to the sixth grade.

Let's go. -Will you make your grandfather proud?

Yes, I will.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning, good morning. Please be seated.

Thank you, sir.

Okay.

Yesterday we discussed the poem run.

Did you like it? -Yes, sir.

So, today we are going to discuss a poem from Ruskin Bond.

Don't be afraid of the dark.

Actually, the poet wants us to be friends with the night..

..and not to be afraid just because it is dark.

Laksh, why am I not having your full attention, please?

Sir, my geometry box is missing.

Check your bag again.

No sir, it was on my desk in the previous period.

Okay, whosoever has taken Laksh's geometry box..

..please give it back. And we can move on with the class.

Okay, let's do the other way.

Check each other's bags and put the..

..geometry boxes on the table.

Okay, sir.

Who stole the Laksh's geometry box?

Check please.

Sir, Aman has two geometry boxes.

Laksh, is it yours?

Sir, the green one.

Okay, so you have already started with your traits.

I swear sir, I don't know who has put that in my bag.

I have seen you lie before as well.

And I am not surprised how it ended up in your bag.

Sir, I am telling the truth.

Sir, I don't know who put it in my bag.

Whatever was acceptable in your village..

..school isn't acceptable here. -Do you understand?

Now go stand outside the class.

Go and stand outside the class.

I'll be calling your parents and..

..informing them about the same.

Please don't call them.

They will get upset.

Please go and stand outside the class. I told you once.

And kids, author teaches us not to be afraid of the dark..

..but be aware of the dark minds. -You understand?

And going forward, please take care of your belongings. -Okay?

There he is.

And listen, we all should say sorry to him.

Okay? -Okay.

You go, Ankit.

Tanmay, you go.

You started all this.

Hey Ankit, don't blame the group.

We will were together.

Okay, I'll do that.

Go, go, go.

Well, I am sorry, dude.

I mean we all are sorry.

Let's have lunch?

Come, come, come.

Aman, sorry.

Sorry, Aman. -Sorry, Aman.

Sorry, Aman. -Sorry, Aman.

Have it.

What is your name? -Tanmay.

And one more thing.

You cannot talk in Punjabi. -There is a 500 rupees fine.

Yes. -We can share lunch but not fine.

Take this, Aman. -Aman..

You know I love cheese sandwich.

Invite him as well.

He's Laksh.

He doesn't mix with anyone after the death of his mother.

What have you brought? -Yes, have this.

He won't come even if we invite him.

Have my cutlet. -Thank you.

Monday Pasta.

Creamy or tomato.

Tuesday green salad.

Wednesday vegetable rice.

Strange.

Now your school will dictate what you..

..can or cannot take to school to eat?

People eat such things?

Yes.

Manjeet, we can understand their standards..

..when it comes to education.

But what will we do with these demands?

I don't know.

I am hearing about these dishes for the first time.

How to make them..

Son, you should eat a few extra stuffed..

..breads before leaving for school.

Ma'am will get upset if I don't take these things with me.

Your mother still can't get the salt right while cooking.

How will she make these odd things?

As if you have been teaching me everything so far.

Listen, isn't there a bookstall close to the Karali bus stop?

Where you can get self-help and home remedies books?

Can't we get such kind of a book there?

Let's ask him.

Brother.. -Yes, sir?

Brother, do you have..

Brother, do you have a book on hypnotism?

Wait a minute.

It's out of stock.

Yes? -Listen.

What was that other book?

'How to keep your husband under control?' -Do you have this book?

It's out of stock.

Sister, what are you getting into?

Why don't you try the embroidery and computer related books?

Get lost, you great advisor.

Let's go.

He has such a big shop but no good books.

Wait sir, I'll give you your books. -Here you go.

Sheila's story.

Ill-famed Munni.

Amazing nights..

And the bestseller..

Telephone conversations.

Don't make me thrash you.

I want a book with continental recipes.

He too is under his wife's control.

Here's your recipe book.

How much is it for? -50.

Here you go.

And these books that you keep..

You are moments away from being beaten up. -Go mind your kitchen.

We are out of these books.. He looks upset.

Sonal, PUBG at same time, 8:30, okay?

Okay. -We have to receive a medal by tonight.

Aman, will you join us?

What? -Will you play PUBG with us?

What's that?

Don't tell me you don't know about PUBG.

Then what kind of games do you play?

What do you play?

I play seven stones.

Seven stones? What's that?

Shit! No, no, no!

Oh!

What are you doing with my makeup stuff?

Mom, I was playing seven stones.

What is this bloody seven stones?

And what is this idiot who taught you this?

Mom, Aman.

Oh my God!

I like to hop around..

..on my four feet I stay.

Try to touch me..

..and I'll jump away.

Guess who, my dear.

Come on, tell me.

You tell us.

Come on, tell me.

A frog! -Oh, a frog!

You are right, Tejinder.

I do agree with you.

We made a very big mistake by sending..

..Manav to Alex International school.

We will send him to Hebron next year.

Yes.

Hebron is the best school in Chandigarh.

True.

Apart from good education..

..Hebron has developed a different kind of class in Karman.

Mummy!

Come here, my boy.

Mummy, guess what.

I like to hop around..

..on my four feet I stay.

Try to touch me..

..and I'll jump away.

Why don't you guess it?

Uncle, you tell me.

Ask me. -Out of the stomach into the air.

Tell me, my dear. -Karman!

Behave yourself.

Go inside.

What a class.

I have four feet but not a shoe..

..a head but not a thought of you.

A bed? -Yes.

Tanmay!

Don't you dare to speak this language again.

Do we send you to school to learn this?

Yes?

Who taught you that?

Don't you want to be an astronaut?

Will you become one by learning this?

I'll slap you if I'll hear such a language from you again.

Don't turn him into a rustic like you are.

Desi crew!

Desi crew!

Never wear the glasses that worth more than 100 rupees.

Won't leave the stubbornness if we come to fulfill self-will..

Let it be what else happens bro, just don't abuse.

Just don't abuse.

Do you feel my stardom now, champion?

All I want to know is who is this Aman..

..from whom Karman learnt this rubbish.

Out of the stomach into the air.

Hop around?

What is this nonsense, sir?

Who is he?

He's our new admission.

He's from the village school.

Well, in that case..

..why don't you send him to the village school only?

We don't want our children to play seven stones..

..and break things around the house.

Sir, we don't pay you the fees..

..so that our children misbehave and talk in Punjabi.

Exactly.

So, please look into the matter as soon as possible.

Otherwise, there are so many international schools..

..who claim to be better than yours.

Hello, sir. -We are sorry, Mr. Malhotra.

We are aware of the situation and we are taking action.

Why sorry, sir?

I am rather here to ask you..

..to please continue with the activities you've just started.

I saw my son Laksh happy after a long time.

And special thanks to Miss. Myra.

Please continue that. -Yes, sir.

Bye sir, I'll take your leave now.

Hello.

Hello.

Please have a seat. -Hello.

Hello.

Why have we been summoned here today?

It's not that, it's just a parent teacher meet.

Aman is going great in English.

Look Mr. Gurnam Singh, we are trying our best.

But we want you too to contribute in his education.

This is a limit, madamji.

We have handed him over to you.

You are the one who will teach and educate him.

Yet we are trying our best.

My father never knew which class I was studying in.

He is like a carefree hermit.

Yes.

Mr. And Mrs. Singh..

So many English speaking courses..

..and personality development centers have opened up.

You two should join it.

Madamji, how can we learn at this age?

And why do we need to learn it? -Yes, you do need to.

For how long will I keep teaching you?

Both of you should join it.

Okay.

He came yesterday.

He came yesterday.

He came yesterday.

That day I.. -May I come in, madamji?

Wait, please. -She asked us to come in. -I was there that day.

Hello.

We want to learn English.

Both of you?

No, both of us.

I mean to say you want to learn English from scratch?

He wants to learn from scratch.

I know quite a little about it.

We will also educate you about personality grooming..

..along with teaching you English.

Manners, etiquettes, discipline.

We will educate you about everything. -Excuse us.

She is trying to swindle us out of our money.

We won't be able to learn all this. -She is trying to fool us.

No, we only want to learn English.

Okay, please have a seat.

Hey hello, look straight.

Look at him staring at her. -Open your notebooks.

I will come tomorrow.

I will come tomorrow.

I will not come tomorrow.

Tomorrow. -Tomorrow.

Manjeet, I am going to water the fields.

English?

This is trouble.

I am going to "Water touch" the fields.

Absolutely right.

Go. -I have lost my freedom of expression too.

You tend to the buffalos and then meet me there.

I am going to ours fields..

I am going to "Water touch" the fields.

What are you going to do? -Water touch.

Don't ruin the crops.

Father, he was talking in English.

Why are they following Fauji's footsteps?

And you know.. -Good morning, everyone.

Good morning, ma'am.

Sit down, please.

Thank you, ma'am.

So do you know what have I got for you all..

..and what am I hiding behind my back?

No, ma'am.

No guesses? -No, ma'am.

Okay!

This is an invitation for..

Halloween party!

Yeah!

So now you all have to get ready and decide..

..what is everyone going to become.

Okay, ma'am. -Okay?

Excited? -Okay, ma'am.

Pass these on, please. -Yes, ma'am.

Last time.. -Get creative and think more.

Don't repeat yourselves from last year.

I will become a scary angel.

And this year's invitation is also extended to your parents.

They have to be informed.

Halloween party!

What's that?

Get this straight, I will pull him son out of that school.

I can understand them dictating about what he eats.

But what do ghosts have to do with his education?

They have something to do.

Miss. Myra said that this party is to remember our ancestors.

We get their blessings.

To hell with such blessings.

I have heard people offer prayers to remember their ancestors.

Since when did they started partying?

Aman said that the educated parents of all classmates..

..will dress up as famous ghosts.

Hats off to such educated people.

Even an illiterate would do such a thing.

All the villagers will laugh at us.

"They paid 250,000 to become ghosts instead of good humans."

Will it be good if everyone's parents dress up as ghosts..

..and our little ghost is all alone over there?

Please.. please agree.

I won't be able to face anyone because of you.

She is a witch now she wants to turn me into a ghost.

Hey.. come here.

Go and open the gate. -I will.

This monkey wants to become a ghost.

Why are you hitting him?

Oh hell! -Who is it?

Who is it!

Go away!

Wait, you..!

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

Let's go! Hurry up!

"Jagga Jatta's pigeons fly.." -Run!

You will die! Run!

Damn you!

"Jagga Jatta's pigeons fly.."

Damn you all!

Who is it!

I am dead!

"I'll dance and scare away all the ghosts today."

"You don't come across someone like me everyday."

"I'll dance and scare away all the ghosts today."

"You don't come across someone like me everyday."

"I will make everyone shut up.."

"Everyone will stare at me awestruck."

"With my Bhangra I'll rock the dance floor."

"Even the one who does disco will bow down before me."

"With my Bhangra I'll rock the dance floor."

"Even the one who does disco will bow down before me."

"There is a twinkle in my eyes.."

"I will win over everyone with my moves."

"I will win over everyone.."

"There is a twinkle in my eyes.."

"I will win over everyone with my moves."

"I will defeat the competition today."

"Their egos will get crushed under my feet today."

"With my Bhangra I'll rock the dance floor."

"Even the one who does disco will bow down before me."

"With my Bhangra I'll rock the dance floor."

"Even the one who does disco will bow down before me."

"It will be fun when I will jam with you."

"My tresses fly as I dance with you."

"It will be fun when I will jam with you."

"My tresses fly as I dance with you."

"We have got a chance to express ourselves today."

"We will handle come what may today."

"With my Bhangra I'll rock the dance floor."

"Even the one who does disco will bow down before me."

"With my Bhangra I'll rock the dance floor."

"Even the one who does disco will bow down before me."

"The dance floor will be on fire."

"Simple looking people have twisted desires."

"The dance floor will be on fire."

"Simple looking people have twisted desires."

"Our favorite songs will play on repeat."

"I will match to your beat."

"With my Bhangra I'll rock the dance floor."

"Even the one who does disco will bow down before me."

"With my Bhangra I'll rock the dance floor."

"Even the one who does disco will bow down before me."

See son, we made you famous.

We silenced all the polished ghosts.

You were looking great as a witch, dear.

Oh really?

Son, I wanted to discuss something.

Yes?

Late in the night, your mother's ghost visited us.

This is a limit, father.

She can come whenever she wants. This is her house.

She is always welcomed.

Yes, she is.

But she had a man with her.

Father, please don't take it to your heart.

She too needs company after death, doesn't she?

How will she wander around all alone?

You are right.

But he should be a nice man.

Yes.

Bye, momma.

Bye, papa.

Bye, papa.

Your father made you famous last night.

Hey Tanish, he's the same man, right?

Yes, I know. And he's very funny.

Hi, Aman.

What's up, Aman! -He's your friend?

Hey buddy!

Uncle, please, what are you doing?

Bye, daddy.

Good morning, sir.

Good morning, ma'am.

Good morning. -Morning. -Please sit down.

Thank you, sir.

Okay, we have an announcement to make. Rather special one.

As we said in 2016..

..we are conducting a US trip for all of you.

And guess what? -You'll be spending three days at NASA!

Wow!

Yeah! -Yes!

Rest of the trip details would be shared with your parents.

Okay, sir. -Here, this one's for you.

Don't forget to give it to your parents.

Here you go. -Hey, NASA!

It's a downpour. It won't stop.

We might also have to face power cut.

Here.

They are taking my son to America?

Yes. Mummy, there they have a placed called NASA.

Really? -From where one can go to the moon.

Really? -Yes. -Look at that.

We were complaining that it is an expensive school.

America's trip is included in the 250,000 rupees fees.

Daddy, take this.

They have already booked the ticket.

No daddy, you will have to give the school 300,000 rupees..

..if you want me to go to America.

300,000 rupees? -Yes.

But buddy, we don't have that kind of money.

We barely managed to pay the fees.

Daddy, all my school friends are going.

If I don't go then I will lag behind.

I suggest we should adjust somehow and send Aman.

It will make his life.

How much more do you want us to adjust?

I suggest we should also take back..

..what we have given to the school.

I don't know whether or not it will make his life.

But our lives will get ruined.

Why do you say that?

We will see what we can do.

You try your best.

We can also use our jewelry if we have to.

I will borrow some from my brother.

But we will send Aman to America.

Here, have some milk.

How many people want to go to America from your family?

First tell me how much do you charge per person.

350,000 rupees.

That's a lot. -Bring it a notch down. We are poor men.

Then why bother going to America? Go to Lander.

It costs us 300,000.

You don't want us to even make 50,000 profit?

What is happening out there?

Oh no, is father..

Don't say that. -Listen to me, take this.

No, no, no. -Consider this as an advance. Take it.

Put it in your pocket.

I said put it in your pocket. -What are you..

What are you doing?

Well, Aman wants to go to America, right?

So I am collecting money.

Villagers are helping us?

We are helping the villagers.

Aman is anyway going to America.

A few people will go with them.

This way we will also be able to collect 300,000 for Aman.

You can't just take anyone to America.

You are a limit.

Listen to me.

You can take 25,000 more if you want but send me to America.

I will also look after my nephew.

Take this, brother.

We will send our son to America if we have the money..

..otherwise, we won't.

Goodbye to all of you.

Uncle, I had helped you when you were in need.

And now I have come to seek your help. -I am in need of money.

You are right, son.

But it is difficult to arrange at such a short notice.

There comes my boy.

Oh wonderful. Come here my boy and give me a hug.

Damn the Jyoti Model!

I won't go there from tomorrow. -What happened, son?

What can happen?

You had said that it is a very nice school.

Aman's school is better.

They are taking him to America.

Son, your school is taking you to Chat Beedh, right?

Like hell they are taking us to Chat Beedh.

They have cancelled that as well.

Come here, my boy.

Come on, come here my brave boy.

Come here.

Do you trust your grandfather? -Yes.

Then don't you worry.

I will also go to America? -No, you won't go there.

And neither will he.

God created the whole universe according to a plan.

The whole universe, the earth, the sun and stars..

..all prove the assistance of God.

Aman? -Yes, uncle?

How do you do, son? -Hello, uncle.

Come here, my boy.

Coming, uncle.

How are you doing, son?

You have stopped talking to me after changing your school.

I heard that you are going to America?

Yes uncle, do you want something from there?

Yes son, get 2 kilos of porridge for me.

What can I ask you to get?

I am so happy that you are going there. When are you leaving?

Next month, uncle. -Oh, very good.

Do one thing, son?

Don't come back after going to America.

Just don't come back.

Why, uncle?

Tell me about it!

Everyone grows up, gets educated and go to America.

You have got a chance to go right away.

Stay in America, get your education there.

You should start earning then.

Then you will own a big bungalow and cars.

Then you can marry a beautiful foreigner there.

You can later ask your brother Gagan to join you.

And listen, you cannot feel the pain of your poor family?

I can, uncle. -Don't say it like that, son.

Say it with your eyes filled with tears.

I can, uncle.

Yes, that's how much pain you should feel for your family.

They will get rid of their poverty because of you.

Okay? -Now do one thing, go to school tomorrow and tell everyone..

..that you won't return once you go to America.

"I won't be returning back anymore"

All of you can go to NASA after landing in America.

I will disappear from the airport.

What? -What will you do?

I will marry a foreigner there.

I will become a resident. -I will start earning.

After high school, all of you are anyway going to go there.

"Hebron, I won't be returning back."

You are so funny. -"Hebron, I won't be returning back."

Mummy, I won't come back from America.

Why, son?

I will disappear from the airport.

I will marry a foreigner there.

What?

"I won't be returning back."

No grandpa.

Buddy.

Come, I'll take you for a ride.

Forget the scooter I'll soon flying in a plane.

Daddy, I will go to America, won't I?

Tell me.

Okay kids, keep on telling my name and go inside one by one.

Hello, Gurnam.

How are you?

Okay, louder.

Ma'am? -Aman.

What a surprise.

What are you doing here?

Ma'am, I'd some to see off everyone.

Thank you aman.

There is always a next time.

Don't lose hope.

So next time you will definitely come with us.

We are all going to miss you so much.

You have no idea.

Okay tell me, what can I get for you from there?

Just come back soon.

Aman.

Come on say bye to your friends.

Bye, Aman. -Bye.

You are not coming with us? -No.

We will miss you.

Me too. -Why he is not coming with us.

I'll miss you, Aman.

Me too.

Bye, Aman.

I will miss you Aman.

Look brother, kids have a very delicate heart.

Brother Retha, I tried my best..

..to give all the possible happiness to my son.

But I didn't know that one happiness would mean so much..

..that it would overpower all others.

You take care of yourself. And we will be back very soon.

Be a good boy.

Bye, Aman.

Bye, ma'am.

Bye, Aman!

Bye, ma'am.

Bye, ma'am.

Bye, ma'am. Bye, ma'am.

Bye, Aman!

Bye, ma'am.

Bye, ma'am. Bye, ma'am.

Bye.

Take care.

Aman.

"You are the apple of my eye."

"I cannot imagine my life without you."

"Your dreams are my dreams."

"I will fulfil them."

"If you ever face any difficulty I will face it for you."

"You are the apple of my eye."

"For you I will ask"

"For you I will ask God for all the possible blessings."

"I'll steal the moon and lighten your path."

"I'll place my hand under your feet.."

"..so that no thorn pricks you."

"If I have to fight with fate then I shall do so."

"You are the apple of my eye."

Daddy, you shouldn't drop me to school from tomorrow.

I feel embarrassed coming here with you.

Aman, Aman see, this is ISS.

International Space Station.

I have brought it from NASA. It's nice, isn't it?

Okay, guys.

Aman, my dad wants me to do aeronautical engineering..

..so that I become an astronaut.

That's why he sent me to NASA.

What does you dad want you to be?

Why didn't he send you to NASA?

Manjeet, he is up here.

Buddy, what are you doing here?

We have been looking for you downstairs.

Daddy, what do you want me to be?

This is a limit.

We want you to be a high-level officer.

There are many kinds of high-level officers.

Have you thought about my future?

This is a limit, son.

We are sending you to such a big school.

They will tell you what you should be.

Or you decide on your own what you want to be.

But you should become a high-level officer. -In our school..

..parents tell the kids what they should grow up to be.

But you don't know anything.

Listen? I think Aman isn't getting..

..along with other school kids.

I don't know about other kids..

..but he isn't getting along with us either.

Guys, come here.

Guys see, Aman is sad.

Okay come.

Aman, why are you sitting here all by yourself?

Come on, let's play.

No, you guys go ahead and play.

Let's play, Aman. Come on.

No guys, it's time for me to attend Punjabi class.

I'll be fined.

You carry on.

Guys. Listen.

"Let's agree with what our elders say"

"Come on brother, let's go to school to study."

"The true light of education burns here."

"It enlightens our minds"

Ma'am, may we come in?

Yes, please come in, kids.

What are you doing in Punjabi class, kids?

Ma'am, we too want to learn Punjabi with Aman.

That's fine, but what about the permission?

Ma'am, we have taken permission from principal ma'am.

Then you can attend it. Come on.

UDA -ADA.

Sorry to say Mr. Vice Principal sir.

But can you explain me with whose permission..

..have you changed my son's optional..

..language from French to Punjab?

This shall explain your doubts, Mr. Walia.

We got ten applications duly signed by the parents..

..to change the optional language from French to Punjabi.

I haven't signed this.

I can never sign this.

Fake signatures. -What?

Although our school has no tolerance..

..policy for such misconduct..

..but I know under whose influence..

..have your children done this.

Aman.

He is to be blamed.

See, I told you.

Our child is getting into bad company.

We don't send our children here to learn Punjabi.

I want this child to be dismissed from the school.

Immediately. -Yes.

We don't have grounds to dismiss the kid..

..because this application was submitted by your children.

You should submit new applications..

..I'll get the language changed from Punjabi to French.

Sure.

Did you tell anyone at home? -No.

What about you? -No.

And you? -No, no, no. -Good. See, there he comes.

Aman, we want to go to your village today.

My village?

Why? -Karman, Tanmay and Ankit saw your village last time.

And they want to see that water tank.

And that tank bomb bang, the football kick.

Your funny uncle.

Won't your family be angry with you?

Don't worry.

We haven't told anyone at home that today is half day.

Yes. -We will return before school ends.

We will have a nice picnic there. -Hmm.

Come on, don't worry.

Look at this. I have brought a mobile phone with me.

We will click pictures with it.

Come on, let's go.

Wow!

Wow!

Wow!

Make sure you don't fall into it.

It is quite deep.

Aman, last time there was a little canal also.

Shall we go there?

It's called a pond. -Yes, that.

Let's go.

Come on, let's go inside.

No, don't.

You guys don't even know how to swim.

You wanted to see the pond and you have seen it.

Let's go. You are getting late.

All of us know how to swim. -Yes.

You don't worry.

And there is still a lot of time left for the school to end.

Let's go, come on.

Oh no!

What?

Oh no!

What the hell!

Karman, are you okay?

What are you doing here? -Shivam!

You stay away from my son.

This boy is very dangerous.

Now either he or our children will stay in this school.

Let them rusticate me if they want to, madamji.

Anyway, it wasn't my dream to study here.

It was my parents' dream that I get educated here.

They fulfilled their dream.

What have they done for me?

You perhaps didn't even try to find out..

..how much your parents have struggled..

..so that you can study here.

So that you get the right education.

So that you get a bright future.

Your parents don't dream for themselves, Aman.

You are their dream.

That's why they are coming here today, to meet the principal.

To request her not rusticate you from the school.

Remember one thing, Aman.

Your parents love you the most.

Madamji, all the kids willingly went to the pond.

Kids here don't even know what a pond is.

Now the school administration and the parents believe..

..that everything that is happening in the school..

..is because of Aman.

It's not such a big deal to go to a pond that..

..you'd rusticate Aman from the school for that.

Madamji, tell us the truth.

We will take our son away.

Is this the real reason because of..

..which you are rusticating him?

Look, I've tried my best favoring Aman as much as I could.

But now the school administration and the..

..parents have a reason to rusticate Aman.

We even agreed to put our child two grades lower.

So that he could get an education in your..

..school and become a high-level officer.

Please, let Aman study here.

Madamji, what if we talk to the parents of other kids?

If we could convince them?

We have a parents-teacher meeting after four days.

You can try then.

Daddy.

Buddy.

Sorry, daddy.

Sorry, mummy.

What's wrong?

What happened?

Mummy, I trouble you a lot, don't I?

No, you don't.

Hey stupid.

Kids never trouble their parents.

Come on.

You have become very smart. -And educated man lives with pride..

..whereas an uneducated man begs and pleads.

Gagan, my boy.

That's why your grandfather says that you should be educated.

Indian constitution article 21a.

That means as per our country's constitution article 21a..

..every 6 to 14 year old child has a right..

..to education till the eighth grade.

No matter which school he or she is in.

He or she called be failed or rusticated.

If someone illiterate understands then..

..he or she can implement this.

Good afternoon, I welcome you on behalf of Hebron.

I'll start by saying that quality is our utmost priority..

..along with your child's future.

But from last few months some parents are complaining..

..that their child's future is not safe with us.

That is a serious problem.

And that's why we have called this emergency meeting.

To solve a problem first we should..

..admit that there is a problem.

And yes, there is.

Some parents feel that..

..because of one student their children's..

..behavior is changing.

And that student is Aman.

So I request Mr. Gurnam Singh and Aman to come on the stage.

We and other parents too have noticed that.

That's why we'll have to take disciplinary..

..action against Aman.

We don't want to jeopardize any child's future..

..including Aman.

That's why the managing committee has decided that..

..we will shift Aman to our charitable wing.

It is a Punjabi Medium school with a much lower fee.

Mind you, we aren't rusticating Aman..

..we are just shifting him.

Trust me, this is good for Aman.

But this is where we had enrolled Aman.

We have somehow managed to arrange the fee.

You wanted to keep behind Aman by two grades.

We agreed to that as well.

Please don't change Aman's school.

Myra madam?

Look.

I am not as educated as all of you.

I cannot argue much either.

Even our clothes don't match with yours.

Our Aman has made a mistake.

But don't ask him to leave this school..

..for such a small mistake.

I request all of you.

Please forgive him. -Mr. Gurnam?

First of all, what you say is a small mistake isn't small.

Your son made our child enter risky waters.

Who would have been held responsible..

..if any mishap had taken place?

Secondly, our child's standard is..

..going low because of your son.

We spend so much money and send our children to America.

To show them the NASA space center..

..so that they can learn something good.

And not to learn disgusting riddles from your son.

We don't send our children to Hebron to..

..learn seven stones and rustic culture.

Our son teaches such disgusting things to our children.

Moreover, our children have also learnt about..

..illegal immigration because of him.

My son told me that he'd run away from American airport.

He wouldn't come back.

He will marry a foreigner there.

Such conversations take place in your household and not ours.

I have never allowed Tanmay to talk in Punjabi even at home.

In fact, his optional language is French.

But because of him, my son has started reading Punjabi book.

If I wanted to teach him Punjabi or make him a rustic..

..then why would I send him to such..

..a big international school?

I could have sent him to any Punjabi government school.

Sister, the very Chandigarh which was..

..born out of several villages..

..today its people hate Punjabi language and culture so much?

It's a pity.

Listen, but didn't you too want Aman to learn English?

Isn't that why you send him to this school..

..which is 20 kilometers away..

..even after facing so many difficulties?

Yes, we want him to learn English.

But we don't want him to forget Punjabi.

We dreamed that he'd learn English..

..and become a high-level officer.

But we didn't know that you all hate Punjabi so much.

Ma'am, if you love Punjabi so much..

..then you should have let you son study in..

..a government run Punjabi medium school.

Why did you spend so much to send him..

..to a school that is so far away?

Just to teach him English, right?

Because you know that your son won't have a bright future..

..if he doesn't learn English.

We are doing the same thing here. -So how are we wrong?

You are not wrong, brother.

All I want to ask you what is the harm..

..if your child learns Punjabi along with English?

The harm is that you stay in a village.

The society we live in consider those..

..who speak in English as intelligent.

If our child starts speaking Punjabi..

..then the society will assume that he is illiterate.

That is a great point.

Our relatives who stay abroad are emphasizing..

..on teaching their children Punjabi.

They feel proud to speak in Punjabi..

..and address themselves as Punjabi.

And we those who stay in Punjab are..

..embarrassed to talk in Punjabi?

Here all I can say is that our mother didn't alienate us.

We sons have estranged our mother.

What Punjabi language are you talking about?

For your kind information, according to UNESCO reports..

..a foreigner has claimed..

..that Punjabi language will go extinct in the next 50 years.

We have seen our children's future.

That's why we are teaching..

..our children languages like French..

..and Spanish and not Punjabi.

The foreigner too must have seen how the..

..sons are strangling their mother.

50 years is a lot.

Considering the amount of hatred..

..you have for Punjabi language..

..it will go extinct in the next 10 years.

Sir, I'd like to ask you did your grandparents..

..tell you stories in French?

Did your mother sing you Punjabi lullabies..

..or of some other language?

Will you child in spite of staying in Punjab..

..go to a Gurudwara and pray in French?

Dad, please answer this.

No, son.

Not just he..

..I think none of my brothers and sisters sitting here..

..and any reply for that.

Ma'am, can we go now.

Just wait.

The kids would like to say something.

Myra, we are not doing this right now. Please.

I am sorry, sir.

But they really want to say something.

Okay, let us finish first.

Myra, let them come.

Go.

Sir, please don't shift Aman from this school.

It is not his fault.

It was my plan to go to the canal.

He tried to stop us instead.

Please sir. -I think you've forgotten all the manners since..

..the time Aman has joined the school.

Don't lie to save him, please.

We are not lying, sir.

The idea to fake our parents' signature was also ours.

Aman was completely unaware of the fact.

And we are sorry for that.

Mom, I am sorry I broke your makeup kit.

But seven stones is not a bad game.

You should check wikipedia.

Seven stones is the oldest game of south Asia.

It is called seven stones in English.

And mom, brainteasers are just like riddles.

The only difference is that riddles are in English..

..and these brainteasers were in Punjabi.

Dad, you don't let me talk in Punjabi.

But when it comes to bravery, you say we are Punjabis.

And when you drink with your friends, you say we are Punjabis.

Then why don't you let me learn Punjabi?

Well done, kids.

Because talking in Punjabi doesn't make you an illiterate.

Sir, if they forget Punjabi then that day isn't far away..

..when your grandchildren..

..will point at Guru Nanak Devi's..

..photo hanging in your house..

..and ask who is he?

Then you will learn that you didn't..

..gain anything but lost a lot.

We don't hate English.

We requested them to give him admission here..

..because we wanted to teach him English.

All the languages should be respected.

You should learn them.

But not by being unjust to your mother tongue.

This is a fact..

..that the communities whose languages have gone extinct..

If I have been disrespectful towards anyone..

..then I apologize.

I don't know about anyone else but my son Tanmay..

..will compulsorily study Punjabi.

My son Laksh too.. will compulsorily study Punjabi.

His mother tongue is Punjabi.

Good evening, everybody.

After listening to today's debates..

..I and my committee members have concluded that..

..henceforth Punjab will be compulsory..

..and not optional in Hebron school.

Okay, Aman?

Good boy. Thank you.

Uncle, three cheers for you!

Uncle, this is your own house.

Stop thinking about such things. Stop being angry.

Forget it, tell me what can your uncle do for you. -Come with me.

Your educated uncle saved your son. What else do you want?

Uncle, thank you very much.

Elders are right when they say that there should..

..at least one educated person in a family.

The whole world knew that.

Thank God even now know that I am an educated man.

Now I will go everywhere in the village and tell everyone..

..that my brother used to drive a tank.

But I don't understand one thing, brother.

Who spread the rumor of you being a cauliflower thief?

Has your family gone crazy?

This is a family of illiterate people.

How many times have I told you..

..that there was Baba Nathe Shah's community kitchen..

..being held at our cantonment.

I donated a sack full of cauliflower from the army mess.

From that day onwards, I am being called cauliflower thief.

Anyway uncle, forget these things.

I have a heartfelt desire.

Only you can fulfil it.

Tell me what it is, nephew.

If you could cook black lentils for us.

A family full of idiots!

Your uncle was a general in the army.

You never asked your uncle to show you how to shoot bullets.

Cook vegetables, cook lentils, cook this, make that.

You better behave yourself, I am warning you.

Otherwise, I will gather all of you and temper you guys.

That's my educated uncle.
