[ALARM CLOCK TICKING]

[SIGHS]

Hey Rama!

[SIGHS]

"Early to bed, early to rise...

...makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."

It's been 30 years...

...you're neither wealthy, nor wise.

How would I be?

I spent all my wealth and wisdom over you.

As for strength, I don't have the guts to use it.

Wake up!

This man will never change!

Just wait and watch...

Idiot!

What have you done?

You were supposed to bubble wrap the stuff inside the box.

Instead, you wrapped the whole box!

Will you show up wearing a vest on your shirt tomorrow?

Now all the stuff inside is...

Broken!

Bharat, put that away.

Take this pen and sign on the first three pages.

- What is this? - I have to dispatch it right now.

And listen...

Raheja's consignment has been dispatched.

We'll go buy the new machine the day after tomorrow.

I've finalized the vendor, we'll buy only from him, okay? - Why?

Did you sign all three?

Let me see. Good, very good.

Okay then, you continue.

Well, lots of people are working in this company.

This company's reputation is big... big!

And this is Mr. Bachu, aka Bachubhai.

Last stop of our tour.

100% grumpy.

No expressions. Like, face paralysis.

You'll train under him.

Be careful, people change under him.

He's like a pepper plant.

Pepper plant, indeed.

Do not go plucking it, only look from afar.

Please come.

- [FOOTSTEPS] - [COUGHS]

Bachubhai, it was just an introduction.

She is here for the internship.

Hi, Duri Suk.

- Duri Suk? - Yeah.

Myself Bachu.

- Hello. - Where are you from, Miss Duri?

She's Korean.

Korean product!

Won't last.

She's come to India to study.

She's studying Engineering at her college.

She's a third-year-student, here for the internship.

She's very dedicated and...

Why don't you tell me her age, her favourite colour...

...and Kim Jong-un's address as well?

Tell me everything!

Nosy-bones!

Nosy...?

Bachubhai, being nosy can often be very helpful.

It's rumoured that this company is being taken over.

And people like you are responsible.

I had asked for the production report. Where is it?

I was about to give it, but...

...she came in and I had to introduce her to everyone.

We have learned it all but the kids are still learning.

I have to guide them, right?

Really? What's your education?

- B.E Mechanical. - Really?

You know what, Baabul?

Make a paper boat out of your degree...

...and float it in the sewer!

All your reports have tons of errors.

You're educated but you have no knowledge.

Now get back to work!

[LAUGHS]

[FOOTSTEPS]

And you, Suk! What are you laughing for?

Come on, let's do some work.

Work, work... You understand?

I can speak Gujarati.

What? But how?

Actually, my full name is Duri Suk Bhupendra Choksi.

My dad is Gujarati and my mom is from South Korea.

Quite a trip for your dad!

Look, Duri, Curie... whatever your name is.

- Suk. - Whether you're from Korea or Kosamba...

...you must pay attention to everything I say.

- Concentrate. Okay? - Yes.

Come.

See, this section is entirely for...

Oh, my God!

This is so cool!

I also love making such gadgets.

I have made a line-following robot.

I-Chi-Bum.

With it, I'll take part in the college fest...

...and I'm surely going to win it.

Line-following robot?

- Yes. - Then learn something from it.

- Follow me. - Yes.

This is how it works.

First, you put the cells in here and then it will...

I can't figure which language I should speak with you.

- Gujarati! - Okay.

So once the cells are in...

- ...it generates a string and... - Bachubhai, look here.

You'll keep us here till midnight!

Come on.

Bachubhai?

Bachubhai?

Maybe he went that way.

Run!

[FOOTSTEPS]

Bharat, I cannot do this.

Try again a bit later.

If the problem stays, drink more water.

I'm not talking about this, I meant Duri.

Oh, please. You've refused every intern so far.

But not this time.

Duri has been recommended by the new investors.

- But... - Nothing doing, Uncle Bachu.

I'm already stressed out because of the takeover process.

You're the least under pressure, please figure it out.

But listen...

I'm the least under pressure because my work is flawless.

Duri doesn't believe in the concept of "distance."

Wherever I go, she follows me like a ghost.

Bachubhai!

Nonsense!

[DOORBELL RINGING]

If you're here to complain about Bachubhai...

...then go to him, do not come to me.

Who?

Who wants to complain about me?

Not me, nobody...

- I want to make a complaint. - Against whom?

- Bharat. - Why?

He's got me stuck with a Korean girl.

What?

I am talking about the new intern, Duri Suk.

I'm responsible for training her...

...and my entire routine has gone for a toss.

That girl is constantly distracted.

When I am training her she is busy taking selfies.

Kids these days do a lot of tasks simultaneously.

It's called multitasking.

I believe...

...rather than giving 10% in all tasks at hand...

...if one gives their 100% to one task...

...their work would flourish as well.

And this girl is not into "multi-tasking" she likes "multi-asking."

She answers my question with ten other questions.

The way kids learn these days is different from our ways.

But how will Bachubhai know?

Bachubhai is not even a graduate!

The same taunt again?

You know why I had to quit my education.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.

[SIGHS]

Forget about it.

You want to go for a walk in the garden?

I'm not in the mood.

No problem.

I know just how to fix your mood.

Already fed up of me, aren't you?

I am just kidding.

Shall we go shopping tomorrow?

- Not tomorrow. - Why?

Those Koreans are going to conduct my re-evaluation.

Please don't lose your temper with them.

I cannot guarantee that but...

I'll get the promotion, that's my guarantee.

Jai Swaminarayan.

Mr. Bachu, you've worked in this company for the last 30 years.

Yes.

Yes... What?

Mr. Bachu, you've worked in this company for the last 30 years.

Yes, 30 years.

The growth in your skill set has been equally excellent.

Meaning?

The growth in your skill set has been equally excellent.

Oh!

Thank you, thank you.

To work at your current position...

...one needs a graduation certificate.

I am that good?

To work at your current position...

...one needs a graduation certificate.

But your biodata doesn't have an educational degree.

So, how did you get hired in the first place?

They appointed me without a degree.

I have come this far all because of my...

...my abilities and experience.

No degree.

Bharat's father was my best buddy.

[INDISTINCT]

You can say it out loud, I won't get it.

He says...

No need to say anything anymore.

Tell him...

I'm not going anywhere.

I will stay here only.

I'm not going to any other big company.

- But... - I'll stay here.

- Mr. Bachu. - Yeah?

You'll have to quit this job.

Yes, I will...

What?

- Yes. - Yes.

What "yes"?

No.

It can't be.

I haven't had a single complaint in 30 years.

And today out of nowhere, you want a degree?

It's company policy, Mr. Bachu.

God forbid, if there's an accident, or something goes wrong...

...people will hold the company accountable.

That's why we can't keep you without a degree or certificate.

- You may leave. - I won't! No!

The man who was in this chair who laid the first brick of this factory...

...that man gave me this job!

- Look... - Yeah!

We used to make solar cookers in the beginning...

...now we make solar panels, got it?

I'm not going.

Try to understand...

You should go back!

You go back to Korea!

Mr. Bachu, you're crossing your limit.

Limit, my foot!

I have trained unlimited employees like yourself...

...who are now successfully running huge companies.

One punch and it will knock you back to your senses!

What nonsense!

- The interviews are running smooth? - Absolutely smooth. What's that noise?

- Get out! - What do you mean, get out!

Security!

Security, take him away!

Get out! This is my country!

I will not go from here!

- To hell with the security! - What are you doing?

- He's telling me to leave! - Let's go!

I am so sorry!

You ask me for a degree? I don't want a degree!

Got it?

To hell with you!

Let's go!

Bharat, only you can do something about this.

There must be a way out.

- There is... - Spit it out already!

There is no way out.

As per the Korean company policies...

...you cannot keep this job without a degree.

Patel, are you a parrot?

You just repeated everything I already know!

It's not in our hands anymore.

Everything is in their hands.

Your job, your pension, your house...

My house!

And my kinetic, my shaving kit, my toothbrush...

Add it all to the company's account!

Uncle Bachu, calm down.

He's saying they will take away my house!

They won't, I'll talk to them.

[SIGHS]

But there's nothing I can do about your job, Uncle Bachu.

Please try to understand.

I'm the managing director...

...but the Korean directors have all the power.

Even if I put in a word...

...the approval stays with the guy whom you grabbed by the tie.

30 years.

I have given my 30 years...

...to this company.

I have seen you and this company...

...grow right in front of my eyes.

Bharat, it was never just a job.

It's my identity.

The means of my survival.

My honour and...

...my pride.

This job is everything.

This would've never happened if Dad were here.

I have disappointed him once again.

No, son.

After Shashikant's death...

...you've brought only progress to this company.

You have taken a decision keeping the circumstances in mind.

Uncle Bachu, if you want...

I'll request the board to hire you on contract...

No.

I'll work here only if I get my old post back.

Your dad would always say, "Bachu your work proves your worth..."

"...but nothing is more important than your self-respect."

Bachubhai, without you...

I can't imagine...

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Hello?

Okay.

Uncle Bachu...

...you'll have to clear your desk right now.

Kamsahamnida.

Thank you.

Bachubhai...

...if I could have finished my internship under you...

...and gotten a letter of recommendation from you...

...it would have been...

Me or my letter, neither hold any value anymore.

Never stop learning though.

Promise?

- Kamsahamnida. - Kamsahamnida.

[SIGHS]

- [FOOTSTEPS] - [BIRDS CHIRPING]

I'm very sorry, Bachubhai.

How unfortunate!

All for a mere degree...

You worked for 30 years...

...and it didn't take them 30 minutes to throw you out.

You had once told me...

I'm educated but I have no knowledge.

But Bachubhai...

...even though you have knowledge, you have no education.

Otherwise you'd have never witnessed this day.

If you don't mind...

...can I take a selfie with you?

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

It will be my pleasure.

Smile please.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[DOOR OPEN]

Nimu, why is the door open?

30 years of perseverance, and all it took was a degree to defeat it.

If Shashikant were alive...

...he'd have made everyone apologise to me.

No worries.

If the company can function without me, so can I.

I'll show those rascals...

[THUD]

Nimu?

[CLATTER]

Nimu!

[CLATTER]

[SIREN WAILING]

[LURCHING]

- [FOOTSTEPS] - [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[DOOR OPEN]

[DOOR CLOSE]

You can meet her now.

- [HEART RATE MONITOR BEEPING] - [DOOR OPEN]

[FOOTSTEPS]

Bharat...

Aunty, please rest.

[HEART RATE MONITOR BEEPING]

I'll wait outside.

[HEART RATE MONITOR BEEPING]

Look at you.

You're not looking nice like this.

Come on, get up.

Let's go home.

How was...

...your re-evaluation?

Fantastic!

You know those Koreans are super impressed with my work.

You won't believe the boss man patted me on the back and said "Mr. Bachu...

...you come with me to the head office in Korea."

- Then go. - What!

I said, "Sorry, sir."

But I'm not going anywhere without my Nimu.

"Neither to Korea, nor to Keshod!"

Oh, stop it.

You've spent 30 years doing the job.

But I have spent 32 years with you.

You don't know how to lie.

And when you try to...

I catch you in an instant.

They fired me.

They fired me.

Everything...

...everything is over.

Nimu, I won't be able to face this situation all by myself, you...

Please come back with me.

- Like this? - Yes!

Without you, everything will go haywire.

I cannot handle myself all alone.

The loneliness will drive me crazy, Nimu.

You're going to be just fine.

I have more faith in your courage than you do.

[HEART RATE MONITOR BEEPING]

Will you...

...grant me a wish?

Yes.

Promise me...

...you will go and get your job back.

That's impossible without a degree.

Then get a degree.

What?

Become a graduate...

...and get your position back.

[LAUGHING]

You're also mocking me?

I am not.

You can consider this...

...as my last wish.

But how can I, at this age...?

[GASPS]

I want my Bachu's pride and honour back.

I want everything back.

Tell me.

Will you make my last wish come true?

Tell me.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[SIGHS]

[FOOTSTEPS]

[SIGHS]

I had a word.

You can come back to the factory in six months on contract-basis.

Your post would be different but...

Once you're back, we'll figure things out.

[CLAPS]

And don't worry about the house.

Remember that Korean, the one you grabbed by the tie?

He has stopped wearing ties for good.

[LAUGHING]

I had also gone silent when Dad passed away.

Then one day Aunty Nimu came...

...with "Dhokli" that she had specially cooked for me.

She said, "Bharat...

...our loved ones...

...even when they're not around...

...they stay within us."

Bharat...

I will come back to the factory.

Wow.

That's such good news. I'll inform them right away.

I will come back but only on my old post...

...and with a degree.

Bachubhai Parmar...

Bachelor of Engineering.

Your son Bachu has scored very less marks.

I am Bachu.

What!

- Assuming we give you the admission... - Okay.

...what will you give as donation?

Your kidneys or eyes?

A slap!

1,000 for Cambridge and 2,000 for Harvard.

- A Harvard degree in 2,000? - Yes.

And for 500?

500? Hadvad!

[SLAP]

Why don't you try distance learning?

We offer that.

I want to study in a college and get the degree.

- It was her last wish. - Whose last wish?

- Hello. - Bharat.

Yes, Uncle.

I need a favour.

Yes, tell me.

You'll have to help me.

I had a word with Bharat.

But let me be frank...

...you'll have to work hard, Mr. Bachu.

Yes.

As per the new education policies...

...you can get an admission under special quota...

...and resume studying in the final term.

We have an approval from the other trustees too.

There's just some formalities and paperwork to finish.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Thank you!

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Nimu...

...it's my first day of college.

- [BIRDS CHIRPING] - [HORN HONKS]

[ENGINE REVVING]

[ENGINE REVVING]

Feeling dizzy?

Where's the fourth-year Mechanical class?

Cut! Cut!

You ruined my reel, Gramps!

- It's alright. - What the hell!

Let's go again!

I'm Reel Patel, I don't do retakes.

So, today we'll learn about continuity equation.

This chapter is very important for this syllabus.

So we have to be...

Sir, is this the final-year class?

Yes, but the parents aren't allowed here.

- You can go to the office... - No, sir.

Here...

[FOOTSTEPS]

Oh.

New admission?

Even at this age you want to complete your education?

Yes.

It's your first day.

Introduce yourself.

I am...

- My name is Bachubhai... - Speak in English, Mr. Bachubhai.

As an engineering student you have to be fluent in English.

Okay? Come on.

I...

Myself Bachu K. Parmar.

- I will... - That's enough!

Your starter seems to be faulty.

[LAUGHING]

We'll kick-start it some other day.

Take a seat.

So, look at this graph carefully.

This question is asked every year in exam.

So, you should be very attentive.

Bachubhai!

Hi!

Bachubhai, hi!

What are you doing here?

I also study in this college.

You'll be studying here as well?

What are the odds!

The teacher and the student will study together.

It will be mad fun.

- Please stay quiet. - Okay, okay.

In pursuit of a degree, I'll get a 102-degree fever.

Who was that?

Being inspired by you I've written three new projects!

Can you believe it, Bachubhai?

Please stay quiet, please.

Stop talking, Grandpa!

Do you understand what I am teaching here?

Sir, you have no idea how talented he is.

He is a genius in engineering.

In fact, if you have any doubts for your PHD you can ask him.

Don't...

He has more knowledge than any other book in this world!

He's just superb, outstanding...

Shut up, will you!

Don't you yell!

And don't you yell to tell me that!

Bachubhai...

I was only trying to...

Not another word!

You said I am outstanding, right?

Here I am, "standing out" of the class!

I was thrown out of the company after 30 years...

...and out of this class in 30 seconds!

Chill, Bachubhai.

Such incidents will make our friendship stronger.

Oh, no. That's the principal.

- Who? - That man coming our way.

Why are you out of the class?

Punished for talking during class, sir.

Sorry, sir.

I have always seen you outside the class.

This is your last warning, okay?

And who is this? Your father?

Yes.

New student, sir.

He's here to complete his education.

See!

Bachu?

Hello...

Hello, sir.

I see.

So, you're that new student?

"Special category."

Nice.

Go inside now.

And do not repeat this behaviour.

- Okay? - Yes!

- [FOOTSTEPS] - [BIRDS CHIRPING]

Thank God.

We're lucky he was in a good mood.

Otherwise Vilin sir is very...

Bachubhai?

Where did he go?

Bachubhai?

Bachu, you scoundrel!

You betrayed a true friend!

I've been rusticated.

I'll never forget this.

I'd rather have an enemy than a friend like you.

You're selfish!

Bloody traitor!

It's a brilliant project.

Your chances of getting the scholarship are high.

What about your thesis submission?

- Sir, the thesis... - It's ready, sir.

With the analytical results and theoretical data.

[PAPER RUSTLE]

Wonderful.

I have had the opportunity to teach plenty of students...

...but it's rare to find students like you.

[PAPER RUSTLE]

Okay.

Thank you, sir.

- [PAPER RUSTLE] - [FOOTSTEPS]

Yes! That scholarship is ours.

You won't have to worry about the fees, and our future is set!

But the thesis?

My guy got the entire thesis for just 500 bucks.

Let's go to the canteen.

I'll buy you your favourite cola. My treat!

What are you thinking?

How about you go put this back?

- I'll see you in canteen. - Okay.

Bachu, you scoundrel!

You betrayed a true friend!

I've been rusticated.

You're not the only one.

I've been rusticated too!

Your father's rich enough to get you a degree somehow.

What about me?

Get one thing straight, Vilin.

Cheating brings success but it never earns you respect.

Always remember that.

Oh, I will.

I'd rather have an enemy than a friend like you.

You're selfish!

Bloody traitor!

[SLAP]

[FOOTSTEPS]

Nimu...

I told you that everything would go haywire!

That I'd go insane...

...without you.

NIMU V/o:- I'm right here by your side.

Tell me.

Tell you what?

You've trapped me by making you promise a degree.

In the pursuit of your last wish

I'll soon end up asking for mine.

You know who's the dean of the college, Nimu?

Vilin!

And he has recognized me.

I can't do this, I don't want the degree.

- I'm not going back! - You're being childish.

Answer some questions for me, would you?

What was your first job?

- I was a paperboy. - Then?

I joined a company as a helper.

Then?

That's where I met Mr. Shashikant.

He liked my work and gave me a permanent job.

He gave me a promotion, a raise, this house...

...but why are you asking me this?

Exactly!

To make you realize that you've faced difficult times before...

...and the only way to get through adversity is to face it.

I am sure you'll get your degree.

What if I don't?

You don't have that option.

[SIGHS]

You were always stubborn and you still are.

You earning the credit you deserve...

...would do my life a huge credit, Bachu.

Don't lose hope.

Go on...

...go forth.

Nimu...

[BIRDS CHIRPING] - [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

What?

What?

You seem tense.

You're shaking head to toe.

Hi.

Agam.

Bachu.

First day?

No, I've been here for four years.

Then why are you stuck here?

It's been four years, and yet that bully Montu, rags me daily!

I was thinking if I should take the day off.

Perhaps I should talk to the dean.

What about you?

You're lucky you can complain to the dean.

My bully is the dean himself.

No problem.

At least our fear got us acquainted.

- Let's go home. - Wait, what?

How will I get my degree if I go back home every day?

Let's do this.

Let's go to the canteen and have a nice, strong tea!

Not the canteen, it's Montu's spot.

Don't worry about Montu, I'll save you from him.

But...

...you'll have to take two hits.

- Okay? - Okay.

- I take more hits from Montu every day! - Really? Come on.

It's time we teach him a lesson.

Montu... please let me go.

I told you to count his hair.

- What's the count? - 3,000.

Continue.

3,001...

3,002...

- Good! - 3,003...

Hey!

Now play the clarinet.

You rascal!

Good-for-nothing!

- Who are you? - Why should I tell you?

I have never even dared say it to myself.

I am Jorawar Singh Jhaala...

International Anti Ragging Officer.

No nonsense allowed!

There's ragging going on in my presence?

I don't do it, I'm the victim.

Haven't you heard?

Ragging is a crime...

...but allowing it is a bigger crime.

IPC: 135.

I have information...

...that some students in this campus engage in ragging.

Who is that jackass?

Tell me his name.

I said tell me his name!

Tell me or I'll skin you alive!

- I don't know... - Really?

My gun will make you talk!

You better run!

Never forget...

I am Jorawar Singh Jhaala...

...and I'll make you dance to my tunes!

[LAUGHING]

You're epic, Bachubhai!

Not Bachubhai.

Jorawar Singh Jhaala.

Thank you, thank you so much.

You don't need to thank me.

I've straightened out plenty like him.

And you!

You should take a stand against him.

I don't like to get involved in all of this.

I never got the respect I always deserved.

That's why I want to win the Tatva Fest...

...so that I can shut their mouths for good.

You're drowning in your own sadness.

Come back, Devdas.

Who is Devdas?

My brother-in-law.

My saviour!

Crocodile!

You idiot!

That's Nalin, not a crocodile.

What a brilliant move, sir! You saved our lives.

You're non-violent John Wick.

Who is John Wick?

My uncle.

Oh! John "Wicks."

Agam, did you hear?

The winning price for Tatva Tech Fest...

...is not two but five lakhs instead.

If we win, we'll buy a new bike.

But we need four members in the team.

And we're only two.

- Bachubhai, why don't you sign up? - Yes.

Not at all.

I'm not taking part in this madness.

My aim is clear.

Get the degree...

...and get my job back.

Let's get moving.

If I'm late to the class...

...there will be another clash with Prof. Hitler Lite.

- You're right. - Let's go.

What's going on?

- [LAUGHING] - [INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Where is the professor?

This is how Mukesh sir teaches.

- He's a total "gyeongsolhan." - What?

Absolutely careless.

It's supposed to be a "practicals" class.

All he does is make us watch these tutorials.

And while we watch these videos...

...he is out there, chit-chatting on the phone.

Done with lunch?

Yeah, me too.

You fools!

This is not the way to learn.

Agreed that you do great in your exams...

...but when it comes to the practicals, you fizzle out.

How can you learn watching videos?

To learn how to swim, you have to jump in the water.

Got it?

All of you come with me, I'll show you.

Come.

[FOOTSTEPS]

I'm also coming. Wait.

Kids, let me make this interesting for you.

Welding and wedding are very similar.

I'll explain.

Agam, look here.

We have two pieces here.

This piece is your family...

...and this piece is your wife's family.

But I'm not married yet.

Idiot, that's why I'm teaching you prior.

We check the alignment of planets before a wedding...

...similarly, to know how to align these two pieces...

...we must know which kind of rod would be the best fit.

It's mentioned in the book already.

Usually, sparks fly before the reception ceremony.

"I'll have 200 guests!"

"Oh, really? Then I'll have 400!"

Similar sparks fly over here.

So to protect the eyes from these sparks...

...we must always cover our face with this shield.

That's how it's done.

What is this?

Did you take permission?

What permission? I know, so I started.

Shut up!

You can't touch the machine without my permission.

The safety of these students is my responsibility.

Sir, you need to check your own safety first.

What?

This shiny, synthetic shirt is not the right choice...

...to teach welding.

Got it?

Or else you'll explode...

...and your photo will end up on a wall, with a garland around it.

Students, do you understand?

Nonsense! The method is completely wrong.

Mr. Bachu, what is the value of X?

Go ask W, Y or Z. They might know it.

You think you know it all?

Why don't you come up here then?

I'm a student, I'm bound to ask questions.

If you don't have the answers, come sit here.

So this establishes thermal equilibrium.

- Ma'am. - Yes?

In Gujarati please.

Sir, do something about Bachubhai.

He's driving us crazy.

He had the audacity to talk back in my class!

And he told me that my methods are wrong.

- He cannot say such things! - We are the teachers, after all...

Relax, relax! Silence!

Pin-drop silence!

Please come in.

[LAUGHING]

[FOOTSTEPS]

Oh yes, Bachu. Take a seat.

Go on.

What will you have? Tea or coffee?

Nothing.

Don't be like that.

We're seeing each other after ages.

Really, I don't want anything.

Sure?

- [FOOTSTEPS] - [DOOR OPEN]

I got to know from the trustees...

...that a senior citizen has been given admission here.

But I never thought it would be you.

The thing is my wife Nirmala expired.

And it was her last wish that I finish my education and get a degree.

- That's why... - I see.

A very courageous step for your age, I must say!

After all, Bachubhai Parmar is a man of principle.

He never goes back on his word, right?

I hope you won't let our past affect my...

Oh, come on.

Forget about the past, Bachu.

It's been 35 years!

Do you think I'd still hold that against you?

I thought you wouldn't have forgotten.

But now that you've said...

- Don't you worry at all. - Thank you.

The final decision is in my hands.

Yeah, of course.

Now I'd like to see...

...how you leave this college with a degree.

What?

I've been the dean for the last ten years.

I hold a PHD.

I have three original patents under my name...

...multiple awards...

I got money, respect, everything!

Except satisfaction.

When I saw you the other day...

I realized...

...that I don't want satisfaction.

I want closure.

A closure for that slap...

...and I'll make sure I get it.

You slapped me on the cheek...

...but it left an impression on my heart.

Vilin, whatever happened...

Nothing else matters.

You study.

Put your heart and soul into it.

I'll personally keep an eye on you.

Okay?

I've got loads to finish and you have a class to get to.

Go on, leave.

- But... - And keep this in mind...

...no more complaints.

Out.

Out!

[FOOTSTEPS]

Bharat...

Yes, uncle.

- You've got me in big trouble. - What's wrong?

This college won't do.

What happened?

Please get me an admission somewhere else.

Uncle Bachu, I tried so many other colleges.

Nothing's worked except this one.

You won't get a better college.

This is your only option. I'm sorry.

[SIGHS]

Vilin's aunt should have named him "Villain."

Thanks to him, other teachers hate me as well.

Because you pick on them in class.

Every action has a reaction.

Not that dreaded language again!

The teachers go on and on in English...

...I'm forced to answer in English...

...and if that wasn't enough, I have to learn the bloody software!

English can be learned with practice...

...but the software's giving me a hard time too.

We need a software champion in our team.

You're right but...

Hey, slow motion!

You seem to be stuck again.

You like her, don't you?

It's nothing like that.

Well, whatever that "nothing" means...

...and however that "nothing" feels...

...go and whisper to her softly...

"Will you teach us the software?"

[GASPS]

Look at this, Bachubhai.

Something's wrong with the motherboard.

It starts on my command, but gets stuck at will.

Just like him.

He meant my solar cycle project, it's stuck too.

Oh, no.

I have an idea!

Can I join your project?

If we join hands, the submission will be quicker.

But on one condition.

You'll have to teach us the software on that slab.

- Slab? - Tablet.

Oh!

Okay, done deal.

So, we begin tomorrow?

No, I am going to Halol for the industrial photography project.

We can begin...

Why don't you both come with me to Halol?

- It will be a fun road trip. - Yeah!

Hold your horses, Eager Beaver. What about me?

No, I cannot make it tomorrow.

- Why not? - I...

I have to go to the bank.

But it's Sunday.

I meant the blood bank...

...because you cling like a leech.

I don't care. Bachubhai, you have to come.

Otherwise I won't teach you the software.

Try to understand, I get only one day to myself.

I have plenty of chores to finish.

I have to go visit the launderer's wife tomorrow.

Because he's not back from his village yet.

- What... - I cannot...

I am not doing this, please!

What lovely weather!

- Fun times, right? - Yeah.

Bachubhai, say something.

You dragged me here and now forcing me to have fun?

Bachubhai, enjoy every moment.

You should cherish every second, come on!

My watch doesn't have the "second" hand.

You go ahead and enjoy the moment.

Okay!

What are you doing, you crazy girl!

Eyes on the road!

She'll give me a heart attack!

Duri, we're creating "moments" not "last moments."

Okay, okay! Chill, relax.

A gramophone?

Wow!

- [BIRDS CHIRPING] - [SIGHS]

My wife Nirmala and I would hear our favourite songs on it.

It's broken so I'm discarding it.

Why don't you repair it?

I'm sure you can do it in a jiffy.

Yes...

...but son, some things...

...just can't be repaired.

I just can't seem to memories the Bernoulli Equation.

I wonder how Bernoulli did it!

It's easy, Bachubhai.

- You see, I have a trick. - What?

Whenever I can't memorize an equation...

I sing it in the rhythm of my favourite song.

What's your favourite song?

- My favourite song? - Any song.

"O drummer, play the drums, I want to groove to the beat."

- That's it. - I got it!

Listen...

[Singing equation formula]

Come on, give it a try.

What a lovely trick! So easy.

Sing it.

- Go on. - I'll do it, don't pester me.

I'm telling you, do not drag me into this "fest business."

Please sign up for now, it's the last date.

And we need minimum four members.

We're short of only one.

Please sign up, Bachubhai.

I'm doing it only because it's the last date.

But then get yourself a replacement.

Yes, we'll figure that later. Here you go.

- Bachubhai. - Yes?

Wait, I have something for you.

It's your first exam.

Here's a small good luck token.

You've put a twist to the tradition.

I'm should give you one. You keep it.

No, it's actually lucky.

- Lucky? - You'll do great!

Keep it.

- Good luck, Bachubhai. - There you are.

- You studied all the chapters, right? - Everything!

I pulled an all nighter and memorized eight whole chapters!

I skipped the last two though.

- What? - Yes.

Those were the important ones.

They hold maximum weight age in the test!

- Yes! - You've messed up.

[BELL TOLLING]

[BELL TOLLING]

Hey!

This is not allowed in the exam hall.

No problem, sir.

My god dwells in my heart.

I need God more, ask Him to depart.

[LAUGHING]

Sir, supplementary.

Already?

He was born premature, that's why.

You mind your own business.

Students, last 15 minutes to go.

Which one?

The third question.

The good luck gift...

Open it.

Bachubhai, quick!

Hurry.

- No... - Sir will be here any second.

[LAUGHING]

Bachubhai!

Bachubhai! Bachubhai!

Bachubhai!

Bachubhai!

Bachubhai!

[BEEPING]

Where am I?

In heaven?

In my cabin.

Oh.

That means I'm in hell.

Get up!

Sorry...

Look, Vilin...

...believe me, I wasn't cheating.

I had no idea that there was a chit inside.

Okay.

Then tell me, whose chit was it?

It was...

[GASPS]

I know, you won't tell me the name.

But you were caught in front of the whole class.

I'll have to take certain steps to set an example.

Please, my future is at stake here.

35 years ago, my future was at stake too.

Remember what you had said?

"Cheating earns you success but it never earns you respect."

Mr. Bachubhai Parmar...

...for using unfair means in the examination.

I am rusticating you.

How articulate!

I know you're pulling my leg.

Pulling your leg?

I might as well break them!

Please.

- For our old time friendship... - Don't you dare!

Leave or else I'll have to call security.

[SIGHS]

[FOOTSTEPS]

NIMU V/o:- Will you grant me a wish?

Promise me...

...you will go and get your job back.

Become a graduate...

...and get your position back.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Bachubhai.

- Bachubhai... - What happened?

I've been rusticated.

[FOOTSTEPS]

I'm so sorry, Bachubhai.

Is your "sorry" going to fix everything?

I just wanted to help.

I don't want it!

Not helping me would be a huge favour instead!

Since I have met you, my fate's taken a turn for the worse!

First I was kicked out of the company.

Now I've been kicked out of college too.

Bachubhai, her intentions were pure.

Yeah, but...

I am bearing the brunt of her "pure" intentions.

Your good luck token was an evil omen.

I beg you, please stay away from me, Miss Disaster!

Forgive me, Nimu.

A degree was never in my destiny.

My moon is eclipsed by Planet Vilin!

I won't be able to fulfill your last wish.

Have faith in the Almighty.

He's soon going to knock on the doors of your destiny.

[DOORBELL RINGING]

Oh look, the doorbell just rang.

Go answer the door.

[DOOR OPEN]

Not God, but our freeloader neighbour decided to show up!

What do you want?

- Who are you talking to? - Wife.

Whose wife?

Mine, of course!

Enough with the stupid questions. Why are you here?

For oil.

I mean, I need to borrow some.

Hemant, all these years, you've run your house...

...using my groceries, haven't you?

Yes.

And you agree?

Go on, take it.

Can't you talk a bit politely?

I can't, you do it!

- Me? - Oh, sorry.

Okay, hear me out.

Did you ever apologize to Vilin for slapping him?

Do not get those things out!

Then how do I take it?

You keep quiet!

You talk.

Bachubhai, please make up your mind.

[LAUGHING]

Here's a suggestion.

Try apologizing to Vilin.

If you give up without trying...

I suppose you are underestimating yourself.

I won't give up. I will get my degree.

But you'll have to stay with me, always.

No problem at all, Bachubhai.

My wife makes me slave around at home...

...and then knock on doors to borrow things.

I can shift tomorrow itself.

Get out of here!

"Tomorrow itself!"

Yes, I'm watching the match.

Nothing beyond 150 on this pitch, I bet!

280, minimum...

You?

What are you doing here?

Vilin, my man, please cancel my rustication.

Stand up!

Please take me back.

Once I get the degree, I'll be out of your life.

- I swear on your wife. - Shut up!

Look, I won't get in your way.

I won't annoy your staff either.

Please take me back.

Come on, be a good boy.

Get out!

How did you get inside?

- Didn't the guard stop you? - He did.

But then I told him you're my brother-in-law.

So he said, "Welcome, sir."

Out!

Keep that in your mind...

Keep it here.

- Don't forget... - What have you decided?

Can I be back from tomorrow?

Open, please...

Not money, I want my degree!

- My degree, please. - Driver, come on!

[CLATTER]

Vilin!

[MUSIC OVERLAP ON DIALOGUES]

My God, Bachubhai!

Vilin is in for some serious beating, isn't he?

Not at all.

These...

...are a gift for Vilin's son.

I don't know if he likes hockey or cricket.

So, I bought both.

If the son's happy, so will be the father.

The clothes are just for swag.

I'll be back.

Vilin, you only caught him with a chit...

...not in the act itself.

He is the only senior-citizen student we have.

- Sir... - Did you read the papers?

"For the first time in history...

...a 55-year-old student will take part in a youth festival."

And you kicked him out?

Okay.

You're free to bring Bachu back.

But I won't stay.

What?

It's either Bachu or me.

Look, Vilin...

...you can punish him on the grounds of suspicion...

...but you can't rusticate him...

...and the fest is just around the corner.

Okay.

If Bachu loses in the fest...

...he should be blacklisted...

...not only in this college, but across all colleges in Gujarat.

In the meantime, if he engages in any misbehaviour...

...he'll be out immediately. Is that okay for you?

Done.

Let him participate.

Let media cover this.

Then, you call the shots.

Now it's your responsibility to bring him back.

[DOORBELL RINGING]

[DOOR OPEN]

Vilin, you came to my place?

May I come in?

Sure.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[SIGHS]

Actually, I gave it a thought...

...and I realized I shouldn't have been so strict.

You've been constantly requesting me to take you back.

So, you may resume college.

- I won't. - Why?

I also gave it a thought and...

...it became clear to me that...

...you're guiding me in the right direction.

College is for the young.

I stand no chance against them.

I should've never thought about pursuing the degree.

Of course not.

In fact, I made a huge mistake by rusticating you.

- Really? - Yes.

But...

I was just planning to go on pilgrimage on foot.

So whatever's left of my life, will be spent walking all the way.

Don't say that! What about my life?

No, I mean if you come back, it will inspire the students.

It was your wife's last wish as well.

Please come back.

[SIGHS]

What about Rajesh sir?

You can come at your own time.

And Mukesh sir?

You'll get an extra class in the lab, okay?

And the canteen guy?

You can put everything on my tab.

I'll get you special treatment in college.

Come back, buddy!

- Buddy? - Yes.

[LAUGHING]

Vilin, I see how badly you want me to get my degree.

- Tomorrow... - I'll have a car pick you up.

Tomorrow, I'll get back to you with my final decision.

My tea's gone cold because of you.

[CRACKLING NOISE CAUSED BY ELECTRICAL]

Come here.

You'll get us in trouble.

How do we...

I'm sorry, please forgive me.

I'm really sorry. Please give me a chance...

- Sir! - Yes?

She's disturbing me.

But...

[FOOTSTEPS]

What did they say?

Bachubhai, it's not possible to have Duri out of the team now.

We enquired and...

...according to the rules, now we cannot change the team.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Then here's my condition.

We'll prep for the competition without her...

...and Duri will prep on her own.

Your Duri has got us screwed, man!

Bachubhai, we'll prep with her in college.

But then, we won't get any time to do our prep.

Okay, let's do this.

We have only ten days until the fest, right?

Why don't you guys come stay at my place?

We'll get plenty of time.

Okay?

Here, eat some.

I said eat!

You too.

[LAUGHING]

Hey, what's happening?

Where are you taking my things?

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

Don't know...

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Baabul?

What's going on? Who are these people?

Those in the uniform are police.

They are workers.

And you know me, Baabul.

I'm here for your evacuation.

Come on, take his things.

Hold on, Baabul.

I'm calling Bharat right away.

You won't get through.

When did you speak to him last?

Mr. Bharat has been in Korea for a month now...

...at the head office.

He'll be there for good.

Mr. Jeong has joined our factory in place of Mr. Bharat.

He'll be shifting to this house.

So it needs to be evacuated, right?

Come on.

Take everything you see in here.

Empty the place.

Hurry up! Take everything!

Don't you worry, Bachubhai.

We have a premium deluxe suite waiting for you.

I mean, our room.

We are a team, after all.

And a team always sticks together.

- Let's go. - Come on.

Nimu...

I won't go, Nimu.

I'm not leaving you and our home behind.

Don't worry.

Our home will be ours again...

...if you keep your promise.

And I am not going anywhere.

I'll be here, waiting for you.

[BANGLES JINGLING]

[BANGLES JINGLING]

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

- Bachubhai... - Yes.

...not a sound while we sneak inside, okay?

If caught, we'll have to sleep on the streets tonight.

Got it.

Let's go.

Jorawar Singh Jhaala!

The tables have turned.

Tonight's special...

Gramp Chops!

Look...

Run, run!

[LAUGHING]

Hey!

Who are you?

The real question is, who are you?

I'm the warden.

I'm the principal.

Since when?

Now.

- What? - I mean, today.

Wasn't Vilin sir the principal?

- He's gone. - What?

Idiot!

He's gone on pilgrimage with his mother-in-law.

I have information...

...that students have drinking parties inside the hostel.

I can even smell some right now.

Yeah, me too.

Go and get me the CCTV footage this instant.

Go!

- Move! - Okay, okay...

Run Bachu, run!

But, sir...

Where did he go?

Was he even here?

I guess I've had too much tonight.

I should go.

There you go.

Here you are, Your Majesty. Your king-size awaits you.

Time to push the snooze button.

Yeah, right!

All my buttons are being pushed right now.

Go to sleep and get ready early tomorrow.

Yes, we get water only for 30 minutes.

And the mess food is a bit undercooked.

But you will get used to it.

Also, don't hang your clothes outside to dry.

Yeah, or your underwear will get lifted.

Guys, that's enough.

Before you bombard me with more...

I'd like to hit the bed, hoping it doesn't get any worse.

Oh, my lord!

Good night.

[ALARM CLOCK TICKING]

Where is it?

- What happened? - Turn it off, Nalin!

- Hurry! - Bachubhai, turn it off!

Turn it off!

Turn the damn thing off right now! Bachubhai...

Whose alarm is it?

It's his!

Not mine!

- It's his. - Yeah.

You stay here illegally and also ruin everyone's sleep!

You think you're too smart?

Give me the alarm.

Give it!

Oh no!

Now it's your turn.

You do it.

- I'll be back. - Where are you going?

Gramps got a lot of guts, huh?

Too bad.

I'll be back.

Out of my way!

You too?

Sorry, I just got into the flow.

Get out, all of you!

Scram!

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

This is your deluxe suite?

It's the chamber of death!

Don't do this to me, man!

Sorry.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

So, high temperature, low pressure. What law is that?

Hello?

Can we start once everyone's here?

Of course!

Bachubhai won't come if I'm here.

Forget it.

You know how he can be.

He's old school that way...

...we have no choice but to accept it.

You're still taking his side?

After practicing for six long hours with the old man

I'm here practicing with you, madam!

Go figure whose side I am on.

Charles's law.

Charles's law of partial pressure.

Oh, yeah.

Shall we begin?

- [CRICKETS CHIRPING] - [FOOTSTEPS]

- [CRICKETS CHIRPING] - [FOOTSTEPS]

The hostel looks like a ghost town.

What's wrong?

Liquid bowel movements.

Meaning?

Loose motions.

I'm sure it's because of the water.

The water reduces to half on boiling...

...but the bacteria refuse to die, Bachubhai.

We've begged them to get the tanks and the pipes cleaned.

But, no! We don't even have a purifier.

No, this is absolutely not done!

I'm putting a complaint, an official one.

Your stay here is unofficial, remember?

I have an idea.

What?

A musical night.

Huh?

Yeah.

First, I'd like to thank you all...

...for being a part of this musical night.

Friends...

...this musical night is going to change your days...

...because tonight marks the union of music and science.

Gramps, you're going over our heads.

Let me finish, son.

The drinking water in here is a huge problem, right?

Yes.

I'm going to get rid of this problem for good.

How?

Look here. This is AWS.

Meaning, Acoustic Wave Separation system.

Now treat your ears with music and your eyes, with magic.

Agam, play.

No, Bachubhai! You'll get cholera.

At your age, it could be your last drink.

I'll be just fine.

The original TDS value of this water was 3700.

Let's go ahead and check the current value.

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

150!

Which means that this water is 100% safe to drink.

Wow!

[CLAPS]

That's awesome, Bachubhai!

Even our professors can't compete with that!

I know and that's exactly why I say...

...that knowledge is far more important than education.

That was hardcore, Bachubhai!

This calls for a party.

You bring the water, I'll bring the booze.

- I'll bring the munchies. - And I'll bring my bro.

Someone slap him.

Wow, Bachubhai! Congratulations.

What's up with Gramps?

[CRICKETS CHIRPING]

There he goes.

Bachubhai.

Bachubhai, wait.

What's wrong?

Why did you just leave?

I've got some work to do.

And what's that?

Ignoring Duri and making her cry, right?

Bachubhai, you're only focusing on her mistake.

But she was the only one siding with you against all the teachers.

Why didn't you see that?

Bachubhai, she's your fan.

Your first friend in this college.

- [CRICKETS CHIRPING] - [SIGHS]

Well, thanks for showing me...

...that if I ever end up making a mistake

I know exactly what to expect from you.

Bachubhai, a true friend always forgives and shows the right path.

Not leave the other stranded.

The rest is up to you.

...friendships aren't exactly my strong suit, that's why...

...took me a bit longer to come around.

But you are most angry with your loved ones, right?

I am not finished yet.

Joesonghaeyo.

I'm sorry.

No...

Misonghaeyo.

Sounds good.

That's not what it means.

You're not supposed to apologize.

Bachubhai, I am sorry.

It was my mistake.

Sorry.

10 bucks to go viral!

10 bucks to go viral!

Not for me, no way.

- Some juice? - It's only juice, right?

- Very good. - Cheers!

Come guys. Let's do it.

It's good, right?

Reel, come here.

Delicious!

I can't believe...

There he is. Hold still.

Lovely!

Handsome hunk!

Thank you.

[LAUGHING]

He's gone.

What happened?

Something's wrong with the juice.

What's in it?

It's nothing, drink up!

Hold still, don't move.

Hold still, will you?

I am...

What is the sixth decimal of Pi?

- Two! - Correct answer!

Elasticity.

- Correct answer! - Yes!

[APPLAUSE]

Next question.

- What converts energy... - Generator!

At least wait for me to finish the question.

...in the form of alternating current?

Alternator.

Is the correct answer!

[APPLAUSE]

- Sir, we need a time out please. - Yes.

- What are you guys doing? - What's wrong with you?

Your timing with the buzzer is disastrous, Nalin!

Bachubhai, I'm a bit nervous...

So you'll go pressing the buzzer? I'll strangle you!

I am sorry.

Another goof-up and I'll give you third-degree beating!

Bachubhai, don't...

Bachubhai...

...hit me once more.

- What? - Hit me once again.

- Sure? - Yes.

Here!

As a kid, my dad would always hit me during homework!

Old habits die hard!

Hit me.

- Here. - Again.

Again!

Again!

Haven't you had enough?

[SCREAMING]

It's time for Adre-Nalin!

Get the quiz going!

Okay, okay.

The question is...

What is the density of steel?

7850 kgs per meter cube.

Correct answer!

[APPLAUSE]

Ohm's law!

Bravo!

Hydraulic brake!

[APPLAUSE]

Supercritical pressure boiler!

[APPLAUSE]

Diamond!

[APPLAUSE]

The competition is neck-to-neck.

Let's look at the score board.

Team Gunvantbhai is at top with 18 points.

Yes!

Team Mandodari: 16 points.

Yeah!

Team Uttarsanda: 15 points...

...and Team Parul...

...at 14 points, at the last position.

And now the last question but it can be a game changer.

This question accounts for 3 points.

Answer it correctly, you get 3 points...

...and if not, you'll lose 3 points.

And you will have 45 seconds.

Grandpa, try not to be slow.

We'll see about that!

[LAUGHING]

An increase in the speed of fluid occurs simultaneously...

...with a decrease in static pressure...

...or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy.

What is this principle called?

I can't remember...

The rascal tricked me.

Team Parul, answer the question.

- Guys, any idea? - I wasn't ready.

What's the answer?

Write it down, hurry!

Oh, no...

He knows it.

This is the right formula.

But I can't remember the name.

- I know it, but... - Come on, Team Parul, answer.

We will!

I know it, I just...

I know the answer to this one.

I know the answer...

It's...

Bernoulli's principle!

It's the correct answer!

Bachubhai!

Yes! Yes!

[CHEERING]

Incredible!

Bobby, my man! I love you!

"I want to groove to the beat!"

Parul! Parul! Parul!

Oh, my God!

Now Team Parul enters in the finals!

We made it to the finals, guys!

Congratulations, Team Parul!

Bachubhai, you're a genius!

Look at Bobby's face!

Move!

What's going on?

Sir, he makes videos during class.

He just uploaded Neeta ma'am's reel or something.

You're insulting it by calling it "a reel or something!"

Reel making is an art.

Shut up.

You're here to study or do this?

Unlock the phone. What's the password?

Draw an "R" for Reel Patel.

A straight line, then a curvy 2, "R."

What is all this?

Such rubbish!

This is your last warning.

Out.

My phone please.

Out!

[FOOTSTEPS]

Yes, I am on my way.

You guys got so excited, didn't even wait for me to catch up.

- I'll be right there. - Hold on, just a minute.

I have a good luck gift for my favourite student.

Rustication letter.

Rustication?

- Look, Vilin... - I just did.

That's why I am here.

I consistently warned the board committee...

...that this oldie is not good for our reputation.

They never believed me.

But now they will.

Getting drunk and dancing inside the hostel premises?

This time you've messed up so bad...

...even the education minister won't be able to save you.

[SIGHS]

- But, please, my degree... - Ah! The degree.

Okay, I grant you another lifeline.

Finish studying without any hassles...

...pass your exams and take the degree home.

But on one condition.

What's that?

You won't take part in the final round.

But my team...

Let them figure it out on their own.

And if you join them...

...I'm afraid, I won't be able to help you.

Think about it.

Will it be your wife's last wish or your friends?

The choice is yours.

Here's my suggestion.

Choose the degree.

Because betraying friends is an old trait of yours.

[FOOTSTEPS]

- Where's Agam and Bachubhai? - How long?

Just five minutes please, ma'am.

Bachubhai?

He won't come now.

Come on...

Alright.

So it's time for the final round.

In this round, each team will get 60 minutes...

...to build a project out of this scrap.

So, let's begin Best Out of Waste.

[THUD]

[THUD]

Nimu...

...your Bachu needs you today, Nimu.

Why aren't you here, Nimu?

I need you.

Uncle, you?

You're here?

Uh-huh!

There's a silly competition going on here.

They said, "Bring us your scrap."

So I brought it all.

You brought all your scrap here?

Uh-huh! Why?

We can't use any of this.

We've already wasted ten minutes.

It would have been so much easier with Bachubhai.

Hey, guys!

Bachubhai?

You remembered me so here I am!

But you were told not to take part.

A team always sticks together, right?

Come on, we don't have much time.

Let's start searching.

Search what? What are we making?

Sir, there are two projects standing before you on this stage.

The first, made for the competition...

...this gramophone.

And the second...

...me, Bachu Parmar.

While breathing her last, Nirmala made this project...

...and left it on autopilot.

It got more updates thereafter.

Bachu Parmar gained courage.

A man that was once aloof and distant became kind and warm.

He learned to seek forgiveness...

...and how to forgive as well.

The friendship update came with its own set of viruses.

But I am certain, they're all deleted by now.

Sir whether to pass or fail the gramophone project...

...is entirely your decision.

But...

Nirmala's project...

...will not fail.

I can vouch for it.

So, as a part of my presentation.

I'd like to play mine and Nirmala's favourite song.

♪ Dearly beloved... ♪

♪ I never love no one but you. ♪

♪ My only dream that's come true. ♪

♪ Dearly beloved... ♪

♪ I never love no one but you. ♪

♪ My only dream that's come true. ♪

♪ You fill my heart with joy... ♪

♪ You fill my heart with joy. ♪

♪ Every time my eyes behold you. ♪

♪ All my worlds, belong to you. ♪

♪ The song to my heart, old yet new ♪

♪ I never love no one but you. ♪

♪ Dearly beloved... ♪

[APPLAUSE]

Congratulations, graduate engineers.

[APPLAUSE]

I am so proud of you all.

Especially, of our first senior-citizen graduate

Mr. Bachubhai Parmar!

[APPLAUSE]

And to bestow this degree to our special student...

...we have with us an equally special guest of honour.

Please welcome.

Dr. Sharad Chaturvedi sir.

[APPLAUSE]

- He was my teacher. - Really?

I'm proud that Bachu Parmar was once a dear student of mine.

He truly is a genius.

It brings me great joy to share this news on his graduation.

Years ago he had developed a project.

A sound wave-based water purifying invention...

...which has now been patented...

...under two names.

Bachubhai Parmar and...

Vilin Patel.

Viliya.

[APPLAUSE]

This technology...

...has been granted permission for free public use by him.

[APPLAUSE]

Bachubhai...

...come on the stage.

Come on, Bachubhai.

Wow, Bachubhai.

[APPLAUSE]

Congratulations.

God bless you.

Proud of you.

[APPLAUSE]

I might be the first man in history to graduate at the age of retirement.

Today, I have realized that...

...it is not the destination...

...but the journey to the destination that is important.

And I'd like to thank everyone who stood by me in this journey.

Thank you, Vilin sir.

Thank you, Chaturvedi sir.

Thank you, all my teachers and my class mates.

[APPLAUSE]

And of course, thank you to my team.

Last but not the least, I owe a huge thanks...

...to my Nirmala.

Nimu.

I am extremely happy today.

My Bachu will now be entitled as an engineer.

And it's all because of you.

Now get your job back with your head held high...

...and go forth in life.

I'm going to do just that.

All this time...

I added years to my life.

Now, I want to add life to the years that remain.

Wow!

You've not only learned engineering...

...but also learned the art of life.

[SIGHS]

Congratulations!

[LAUGHING]

Congratulations, Uncle Bachu.

Congratulations, Mr. Bachu.

Now you can take your job back.

- Kamsahamnida. - Kamsahamnida.

But I...

I am not joining.

I don't want the job.

What?

And this time, I am letting you go.

What?

- Yes. - So, what's next for Bachubhai Parmar?

Henceforth, Bachubhai won't work for himself...

...but for people's welfare.
