There are girls among
all groups, friend.
There is none in our group.
We will have to admit a girl
into our group soon.
She must be witty, charming
and brave.
She must be worth joining
our group. -Yes!
We won't find any
girl like that.
We'll arrange something.
There'll be no arranging.
We'll have to get it done.
Students, for moving ahead
in life we need an aim.
Why is he telling
us this rubbish?
It appears that someone
is listening to..
..his speech for the
first time in life.
The one who works hard will win.
Good line for a title.
If we give it to a movie company
we'll get some extra cash.
May I come in sir? -Yes.
New admission? -Yes sir.
Please be seated.
Someone tell him to
start the class.
Sir, start the lecture.
I didn't know that..
..you people are very interested
in learning chemistry.
Chemistry is better
than your speech.
Students, today we will
discuss electrons.
An electron is a negatively
charged particle..
..that revolves around the
nucleus of an atom.
An electron's movement
is in waves.
An electron starts from a base
and returns to resume again.
It is called a standing wave.
When an electron crosses the
path of another it is..
It is called a sitting wave!
Don't try to act over-smart!
Sorry sir.
I have gone through the
phase that you are in.
Understand? -Yes sir.
Now sit down.
So students..
..chemistry is learnt
by studying..
..and not by talking aloud.
This is the principal's
office. -Ok.
What are you doing here? Leave!
Where are you going? -I wish
to meet the principal.
You cannot meet him without
an appointment.
Look, I have been admitted
recently.
Let me meet the principal.
Whatever you may have to ask,
do it in the office.
Come.. -Go away.
Come, lets go.
Wait!
Look, the principal
is like our father.
We can meet him whenever
we want to.
What right do you
have to stop us?
Is that so? -Come..
Get lost! -Come..
We must tell Varun about
this. -Right.
Incredible.
That girl wasn't scared
on seeing Bheem.
Plus she rebuked him as well.
This girl must be in our g*ng.
That's fine but who will
talk to that girl?
I will.
You?
Not just talking, I'll shake
hands with her too. -It's a bet.
You'll lose.
How much do you wager?
You'll lose. I wager 201 rupees.
Have it ready. He tells me..
Excuse me. Can you lend
me your notes?
I'll return them
to you tomorrow.
My mother scolds me if I lend
my notes to anyone. Sorry.
Hello. -Hi.
It's my birthday.
Happy birthday. -Thank you.
Hi. Varun.
I'm Bharat.
We're leaving. -Come.
How much did you wager?
What? -Bet?
How did you know?
I'm from Mumbai. I must
know that much.
What about my share?
The bet was of rupees 200..
There was something
here. -..and one.
What? -I mean, it was
worth 201 rupees.
Will 20 percent do?
No. 40 percent. Pay me tomorrow.
Abhinav.
He'll bring out the money.
Alright. -The wager was worth
Don't give money in
a sad mood. Kiddo!
She isn't a girl but pepper.
Whatever.. how did she know
that this is a bet?
GOK. -Meaning?
God only knows. -Ok.
Chutki. -Yes papa?
Did you get your unit
tests' results?
Yes dad. We got it.
You have got the first rank,
right dear? -No mother.
I'm fourth.
How many marks did the first
ranker score above yours?
Now multiply 15 by 10.
Right. Now do 150 sit-ups
while holding your ear.
Go on.
One, two..
..three.. -She isn't
ashamed to admit it.
If you would have studied
a little more..
..you could have got the
first rank, right?
Five
..six.. -How does that matter?
You always do that but
this girl doesn't improve.
She'll never improve.
Don't worry. She'll not
get food today either.
What is this, mother?
For such a small mistake, you
punish her so harshly.
Plus, you don't give
her food too!
Have you forgotten? We
did that with you too.
Son, that is the reason why you
have the first rank in class.
This is intolerable.
When did you learn to argue
with your mother?
Go inside and study.
..71..
..72.
Mother, it hurts a lot. May
I stop? -Absolutely not.
If you stop you'll have to
start all over again.
Continue it. -73
..75..
..149..
..150.
Mother, I finished it.
May I go to brother?
Brother, I'm hurt.
It will be alright sister.
Brother, did mother punish
you in the same way?
Didn't you cry?
I.. I wont cry either..
..but it hurts a lot, brother.
What did you do when
you were hungry?
Brother, I feel hungry.
I still won't cry.
I'll return soon.
If Chutki keeps getting
low marks..
Where are you going now?
I'm going to Varun's house.
I wanted some books.
Hi. -Hi.
What happened? You appear
to be worried.
You know about my parents.
They didn't give Chutki
food today.
I'm out of pocket money too.
I thought if you could
lend me 50 rupees..
I'll return it as soon
as I get my allowance.
Do you want me to hit you? Isn't
Chutki like my sister too?
Ok, come inside. -No, friend.
I'm comfortable here.
Alright then.
Take this.
Keep it. You may need it.
Listen. A book?
Take this.
Thanks. -Bye. -Bye.
That's enough.
What happened? Did
you get the book?
Yes. -Come and have dinner.
No. I have to do homework.
You may have dinner.
I'll eat it later.
Take this.
Excuse me, Vaishnavi.
Thank you. -There
are no lectures.
Why? -The physics lecturer
is on a leave.
Oh! -If you don't mind, will
you come to the canteen?
Actually, many students from
my class are sitting there.
Still, you were waiting
for me here.
That too for giving me money?
I wanted to be friends
through that.
I like your frankness.
Have you joined any private
coaching class?
Yes. Krishna Coaching.
Splendid. I study there too.
I didn't see you come
there anytime.
I joined today. -Oh.
I feel very hungry.
Have patience.
You're a greedy boy.
Try to understand.
You explain. -Don't
think so much.
Leave that.. -Did you order
something or not?
We have ordered samosas.
There, we have it.
Take this. -Thank you.
It's very hot. -Refrigerate
it to cool it.
Really nice. -You didn't
ask us our names.
Let us introduce ourselves.
I'm Salman Khan. You can call
me Sallu as a nickname.
What? -I'm Salman Khan
from Allahabad.
Is your real name 'Prem'?
My parents named me
Dhiraj by mistake.
Don't worry. Patience
is necessary in love .
Hi, I'm Gaurav. -I'm Nitin.
You already know me.
I met you yesterday.
You are Bharat, right? -Yeah.
I'm Navneet. -I'm Abhinav.
I'm the one who lost the
bet yesterday. -Oh.
Don't worry. I'll pay
the canteen bill.
Waiter, get ice-cream
for everyone too.
If the bill is on someone else,
we can even drink phenol.
Stop all this. -How did
you like our city?
I haven't gone around
Allahabad yet.
Come on. We'll show you around.
This city is great fun.
This is a city of guava.
It is the city of Allahabad.
This city is great fun.
This is a city of guava.
It is the city of Allahabad.
APoet Harivansh used
to stay here.
His lines are unique
and beautiful.
This city touches the Ganges..
It also touches Yamuna.
Goddess Saraswati comes
here for a dance.
Hey!
Amitabh belongs
to this place..
..so do spicy snacks.
Also, pens, envelopes
and books.
There are many jokes
going around here.
Seriousness is still present.
That is the enjoyable
part of unity here.
That is Alfred Park..
It is so pure..
This is where Azad died
while fighting.
This is Allahabad. It
is incomparable.
This is a crown among cities.
This city is great fun.
This is a city of guava.
It is the city of Allahabad.
This city is great fun.
This is a city of guava.
It is the city of Allahabad.
Some people sing at the
merging of rivers.
Look, there is Anand
Bhavan ahead of you.
Whether it is Pandit Nehru
or Lal Bahadur Shastri..
India's kings have
been born here.
It is a meeting place
for lovers.
It is a respectful place
for the Goddess.
Netaram's crossroad.. -It
is still well known here.
It is unique and fast-paced
but it moves calmly.
It isn't expensive
or spend-thrift.
It is a little different city.
This city is great fun.
This is a city of guava.
It is the city of Allahabad.
This city is great fun.
This is a city of guava.
It is the city of Allahabad.
Poet Harivansh.. -..used
to stay here.
His lines are unique..
..and beautiful.
This city touches the Ganges..
It also touches Yamuna.
Goddess Saraswati comes
here for a dance.
Have some tea. -Finally you're
here, though by chance.
How do I explain, Ketan?
I'm so worried about
children's studies.
That is right.
There is nothing other than
studying in life these days.
SYes. -You are absolutely
right.
Dhiraj, come here. -Yes.
Mahesh, this is my son Dhiraj.
Greetings uncle, greetings aunt.
Greetings. -Greetings.
What grade are you in, dear?
Junior Inter. -Science or arts?
Science.
Child, are you preparing for
medical or llT's entrance exams?
llT. -llT?
My son Rohit is preparing
for llT as well.
He keeps on studying all day!
Doesn't he eat or sleep?
She means that he studies along
with other activities.
No friends, no films,
no television..
There is no enjoyment,
just studying.
Good boy. Good boy.
Uncle, I have homework
to be done.
Excuse me.
He's nice. -Have tea.
Dhiraj. Dhiraj.
This isn't the way to talk.
Do you talk to elders
in this fashion?
You have become very spoilt.
Look at Rohit.
Mrs. Malvani was saying
it with pride..
..that her son studies all day.
I was bitterly ashamed!
Mother, that is nothing
to be ashamed about.
Dhiraj, Rohit has got 95 percent
marks in 10th grade.
You have got only 86
percent. Get that?
Mother, why are you embarrassed?
Is it because I got 86 percent..
..or is it because l
don't study all day?
Both, you insolent boy!
Dad, I'm not like your
car or mummy's TV.
You call it the latest model
and show-off to people.
Insolent brat! You
talk too much!
This boy will have
us dishonoured.
Good morning, sir.
If you people talk in Hindi,
I'll be very happy.
Good morning. -Good
morning, sir.
Very good.
Where were we, kids? -
In the classroom, sir.
You people are over-smart.
What I meant was..
..how much did I teach during
the last lecture?
Child Sona, tell me.
Sir, she isn't a boy but a girl.
A dog only knows how to bark.
Don't pay attention here.
Come on, tell us.
Sir, when Dushyant
meets Shakuntala..
Beautiful! Splendid!
Sit. Sit down.
What is it? Abhinav, what is it?
Why are you looking outside
the door for?
Nothing, sir.
I'm asking you something.
Tell me the truth.
There is nothing special, sir.
You dare to use such words?
I'll have you beaten up.
Sir, if you leave the class I'll
meet Shakuntala. -Quiet!
Sit down. -Thank you sir.
Not every gag is humorous.
You look so funny.
Concentrate on studying.
Dushyant saw Shakuntala
and was stunned.
He said, 'from where has
this beauty come?'
It appears as though some
Goddess forgot her way..
..and came down to earth
from the skies.
Oh God! -What happened?
Sir, it was a q*eer noise.
Sona, the bug is near you!
A bug! -Where is it?
Sir, Abhinav said
that a bug is..
Where is the bug? -A bug!
A bug! -Yes sir.
I'm coming there. Where is it?
Its somewhere closeby.
Where? -Here it is sir.
Quiet!
I think it has left
through the door.
Come on, lets study.
We had a lot of fun.
Yes friend.
We have hurt our stomach
while laughing.
Wait Abhinav. -I'm
leaving. Bye!
What is it? Why do
you need me today?
What was the bug-episode
about? -Bug episode?
The bug came and went. I don't
know anything else.
Listen, I'm not Sona.
I know everything.
You must have done
some mischief.
You turned out to be smarter
than me. -What?
I should say that you are
cleverer than me but..
That's alright but tell
me what you did.
There is a condition.
What is that?
You will have to join our g*ng.
Are you ordering me
or requesting?
You may assume anything but
that is the condition.
Alright. Tell me now.
Meet the new g*ng member.
Welcome to our g*ng.
Thank you.
What's your name? - My name?
Not yours. I asked for
the g*ng's name.
Dashing Lads.
I don't see any girl
in this g*ng.
There is no girl in the
g*ng. -Why me then?
Actually, until today we didn't
find a dashing girl till today.
Why do you think I am
dashing then?
From an obtuse angle,
you do look dashing.
You argued with Bhim,
that is why.
Varun, look at this.
What is it?
A student from llT
doing his Phd.
It's his news.
That boy from Kanpur?
Yes.
He didn't like to
study in Mumbai.
He told his father about this
but he didn't agree.
He must be authoritarian
like your father.
Is his father authoritarian?
Tell her.
Tell her about your dad.
Be quiet. -Why?
Look at the TV.
Did you get the Inter
application forms?
Yes papa. I'll get it. -Ok.
Take this.
Son, did you do your
homework? -Yes dad.
You watch a lot of TV.
I told you to apply for science.
Why did you write arts?
Dumb students take arts.
But papa, I like literature.
What does literature have other
than stories and fables?
Come out of the world
of imagination..
..and come into the
world of reality.
I know what is right and
what is wrong for you.
At least listen to
what he is saying.
Be quiet!
How would you know anything?
I told mother not to get me
married to a village girl.
She said that you are a
beautiful and cultured girl..
..and had me tied with you.
What does all this have to do
with Navneet's education?
You will study science.
That is final!
Some parents think..
..that they are doing good
for their children.
That is the reason why they
force the children.
The children that cannot bear..
..being forced commit suicide.
When a bride commits suicide..
..the culprits are deemed to be
the in-laws or her husband.
But when this problem
comes before kids..
..why aren't their
parents blamed?
Why aren't they arrested?
Yes, friend. This is right.
But what can we do as children?
Forget that. Its time
for classes.
Let's go. Come on. -Yes.
Yes, let's go. -Come.
Hi mother! Hi father! -Hi.
Vaishnavi, the food is
served on the table.
Have it. -No mother. l
don't have time now.
I'll have it later.
Mechanics! Where have
I kept the book?
Mummy!
I'll search for it.
Eat your meal.
Mummy!
Mother!
Mother! Come quickly.
Be careful.
Sit and eat. -I'm getting late.
At least sit and eat.
Keep this inside.
What.. -I'll eat it later. Bye!
She doesn't even have
time to eat food.
It's not just our daughter.
This is happening with
many kids today.
Now find the average
velocity please.
Come on. Start doing it.
What is this?
How can you do that?
If you cant understand
such small detail..
..you are entirely
unfit for science.
Look at this.
Look!
Do it like this. Sit
and do it again.
Hello Mr. Dhiraj. Did you
write the problem?
Yes sir. -Did you solve it too?
No.
Why not?
The question is very simple.
It is interesting too. -No sir.
Its boring.
Oh!
Kids, mechanics is..
Interesting!
Sorry sir. Mechanics is boring!
You better sleep.
Don't laugh you guys!
Go home and sleep.
Wait a minute! You should
go home and study, right?
This rascal Varun
laid this wager.
'Go and watch a movie at night.'
'Then come and tell
me the story!'
I admit it. You win and I lose.
Enough? -Just admitting
your defeat won't do.
Pay him the wager
money. -Alright.
I'll pay.
Take this. Enough?
Come!
So Dhiraj, did you leave your
house like a owner..
..or more like a thief?
What do you think?
It doesn't need to be
considered. It's simple.
He isn't allowed to watch
a matinee show..
..forget about a night show.
How was the experience?
Climbing the pipe
was really tough!
Will you people walk quickly.
I'm getting late. -Why?
Mother has called me
home early today.
I have to go shopping.
Oh yes! My birthday party
is on Saturday.
All of you have to come.
The party won't be bright
without us. -I admit that.
It is the reason why I am not
lighting-up the party.
Bye!
How are you, young doctor?
I'm alright. -Mr. Bharat, the
doctor has called for you.
Come on then.
Is that young boy a doctor? -
No. He is the doctor's son.
He is going to be a doctor.
Does that imply that even
his son will be a doctor?
Yes. A doctor's son
will be a doctor.
Happy birthday! -Thank you!
Happy birthday to
you! -Thank you!
They are all my friends.
Varun, Navneet, Abhinav,
Nitin, Gaurav, Bharat..
..and that is Dhiraj.
Hello, hello! -Hi.
This is my uncle's friend. l
fondly call him young uncle.
He is the most famous lawyer
in the city. Mr. Sanjay.
You are a famous lawyer
of the city..
..who recently won a exciting
case in the city?
The one with the fake
police encounter?
You won an impossible case.
Really glad to meet you
sir. -Thank you!
We read a lot about
you in newspapers.
We're very happy to meet
you today, sir.
Will you keep talking
like old men or..
..will you dance
like young kids?
Sir, you are insulting us.
No, sir. I am not insulting
you. I'm challenging you.
Sir, you are challenging us?
Yes, it's a challenge.
Beat me to win.
O world!
I salute you.
You forgot about my name.
O world!
I salute you.
You forgot about my name.
Even though it was
by mistake, you..
..remembered me.
Thanks for that.
Thank you! Yeah.
Thank you!
Sir, this is cheating. You
danced on a movie song.
We will sing and dance
at the same time.
No. We'll cut the cake first.
You are like red pepper.
You are hot and tangy fun.
Tell us something.
How did you get this style?
You live on bribery.
You are like red pepper.
You are hot and tangy fun.
You say that you are a hero
but that isn't enough.
You are as bad as Shah Rukh
and Aamir are good.
You don't look at girls.
You are saint.
You eat as if it is
your last meal.
You are just weeping
over yourself.
What are you being
so sage-like?
One, two, three.
Four, five, six.
Seven, eight, nine and
ten! It's enough!
Ok, you are a genuine
girl and we are fake.
You are a grown up
and we are kids.
Tell us something.
How did you get this style?
You live on bribery.
I'll appear great if you greet
me from a distance.
If you annoy me, I'm
like red pepper.
I'm pretty good if you
are friends with me.
I'm like Queen Jhansi
if you fight me.
Now tell me what you
aspire to do.
Will you fight me or do you
promise to be friends?
One, two, three.
Four, five, six.
Seven, eight, nine and
ten! It's enough!
Enough! You are a fun
girl. You are great.
You are just an example
of mischief.
Live like in such a way..
You listen to everyone
but do what you want.
I wish you a happy birthday,
red pepper.
You are like red pepper.
You are hot and tangy fun.
Nice one.
Very nice! Very nice!
I have told you numerous times
to stop this painting..
..and concentrate on studying!
He has finished his homework.
Just because he has completed
his homework it doesn't mean..
..that his studying is over too.
He must know all the subjects
in his syllabus very well.
Only then will he get admission
in a good engineering college.
Then he'll be able to get a job.
What are you staring at?!
Go on and study!
He always keeps on painting.
I know..
..how much you love Gaurav.
But..
..you show more anger than love.
If he isn't disciplined he'll quit
studying and go on painting.
But you know how much he
is fond of painting.
Yes but what do you
gain from all that?
What do you mean? l
don't understand.
Janki..
..all this painting, writing,
dance and theatre..
It gives us nothing.
One in many becomes great.
The others wander in search
of a livelihood.
We have to make him
an engineer or..
..doctor or an officer of lAS.
I am just waiting for
that day when he..
..will get off an
official's car.
I will be proud to see that.
So, Vaishnavi. How's the
experiment going?
Ok, sir.
Now.
Navneet, what are you doing?
Come on, concentrate.
First you find the length
of a simple pendulum.
Here. Alright?
You find the diameter with the
help of vernear calibus.
Ok?
It's like this. Got it?
Then you find the radius.
You do know what a
radius is, right?
Come on, Navneet.
Come and meet me in the staff
room. -Sir, a notice.
Ok, boys and girls.
Arun, Promod, Abhinav,
Vinay, Ritika.
Go and meet an administrative
officer in the office.
You have mid-term exams starting
from the third.
The time-table is on the notice
board. Please check it.
Now you can continue.
I was talking in the
classroom yesterday.
Maybe due to that..
Yes, friend.
It could be something else too.
How can that be? -It
could be anything.
There he comes. -He came.
Why had you been
called in the office?
It was nothing.
It was about exemption for
the reservation category.
What does that mean?
I'm a student in the reservation
category.
That is why I get a
rebate in the fees.
Even my seat is in the
reservation category.
That means competition
is even lesser.
That's great, friend.
Congratulations!
Thanks but no thanks.
I refused to accept
it. -Why? -Why?
We have enough money.
I don't mind paying fees.
The college and coaching class
that you study in..
..I study there too.
Why do I need reservation then?
We are very fortunate to
have a friend like you.
I wish everyone would think like
you. It would be really nice.
Yes! -Great!
Excuse me, sir.
Now tell me, what
is your problem?
I don't have any problem, sir.
Look. There is no need
to be scared.
Tell me.
No sir. It's nothing like that.
Do you understand what we
explain in class or not?
Yes sir.
Why do you always fail then?
Sit. Please sit.
Sir, I work a lot but..
Here, drink some water.
Drink it.
Look Navneet, I think the actual
problem is something else.
Tell me, we may find
a solution to it.
Sir, I'm scared of physics,
chemistry and maths.
What do you aspire to become?
I want to be a writer, sir.
That's really nice.
That is a good thing.
But then you should opt for
literature. -I know sir..
..but my father doesn't
allow me to.
Tell your father that I asked
you to take up arts.
Then he'll agree.
Is that ok?
Now come on.
Give me a smile.
Good. -Papa.
Papa, my physics lecturer says
that I'm better off in arts.
Papa, let me leave my
engineering coaching class..
..so that I can concentrate
on my 11th grade exams.
Any request you put forward
before me is futile..
..and you better do
what you are told!
What could be worse!
He was never good.
Mother, I'm leaving
for school. Bye!
Sister! -Pinki.
Pinki, come on. Its
time for school.
I won't go. -Why not?
I won't go to school.
Let her be if she doesn't
want to go to school.
How old is she though?
She's very young. Why are
you harassing her?
I have to get her admitted
in a nursery next year.
These days, for admission
into good schools..
..many tests have to be passed.
If I don't send her now, how
will she get used to it?
Yes but if you force her like
this she won't be able to study.
She will hate studying.
I can't explain it to
you. Come on, Pinki.
Come quickly. -l
won't go, mother.
Mother, this lady is..
Can't she teach Pinki even
though she is well educated?
What can we do?
Hello. -Hi.
What is it? You have
no comments today.
Alright, I'll do it.
You look terrible.
What? -I'm kidding.
Actually, you look very sexy.
Look, my mood is very bad.
Leave me alone please!
How can I just leave you alone?
I am standing next to you,
you will feel better.
You have no brains, right? You
don't know how to talk to me?
Just don't talk to me!
Hey buddy.
Why are you lost? Why were
you arguing like that?
Its nothing, friend. Vaishnavi
scolded me for no reason.
You know her!
She says anything when she
is angry. Isn't it?
Forget it. Let's go
to the canteen.
Go on. I'll get the
others. -Ok.
Hi. -Hi.
Are you going to the
canteen? Come on.
Sit. I'll get tea.
Do you want to eat something?
No. Just tea.
Thank you.
I heard that you are a
bit off-mood today.
Who dared to spoil your mood?
It's nothing. -Will you tell
me or should I hit you?
You saw Pinki in my party,
right? -Yes.
That small kid, right? -Yes.
Her mother wants to send her
to a play-school by force.
She needs a playground
and not a play-school.
Why don't parents
understand kids?
That is because they don't
want to understand.
They think that they know
everything about the world.
We don't know anything at all!
Some are like my parents.
For their prestige, they
force their kids.
Oh God! Explain it
to these parents.
Even God can't explain it.
That is the reason
why he is quiet.
I want to be a painter..
..and my father is adamant about
making me an engineer.
My case is different. I want
to be an engineer..
..but my father wants me
to become a doctor..
..so that I can handle
his clinic.
Friend, this boy is
poor in biology.
How will he get a seat then?
There is a management quota.
Don't get us k*lled. I'll never
come to you for medication.
Nor will we! -That is true.
Without calibre and interest..
..a professional course like
medicine shouldn't be attempted.
Forget about their problems..
..people's lives are at
a risk due to that.
There is another problem due
to that. -What is that?
In medical colleges,
these days..
..a management quota seat
is worth 25 lakhs.
By the time the course is over
more than 50 lakhs are spent.
It is obvious that for getting
back that huge amount..
..doctors charge enormous fees.
For a headache, thousands
of rupees are spent.
Whether a person survives
in this system or not..
..but he becomes like
a living corpse.
What's the use of
thinking over..
..something we can't change?
Shall we leave now?
Son..
Mother! I sat with Varun,
Nitin and Bharat..
..and solved 30 to 40 problems
such as this.
But when I do it by myself l
can't solve a single one.
Mummy, please help me.
Son, at least try
it. You'll do it.
I can't do it, mother. I'm
not getting any solutions.
Please help me, mother. -Sit.
You'll do it.
Was that you? -I don't
see Navneet around.
I don't know. I have been looking
for him since a long time too.
I haven't seen him yet.
I don't understand.
There!
It has been two hours since
the exams ended.
He has been searching for you
there and you're standing here!
Anyway, how was the exam?
I didn't give the exams well.
If I fail, my father
will k*ll me!
It will be nothing like that.
'You'll get very good marks.'
I won't say that.
You will pass though.
Don't worry, pal.
Everything will be
alright. Come.
Come along.
Don't look at a sleeping
child like that.
It may cast an evil eye.
When he is awake, I don't
get to see him like this.
College, coaching classes
followed by a lot of homework!
You are right.
Kids today can't even live
their childhood properly.
They don't have time
to play or to sleep.
What can be done?
The system is like that.
We have to go with the others.
Students, the class is over.
Shut down your computers.
Come on, hurry up. What are
you doing? Hurry up please.
What are you doing with
Vaishnavi's bag?
What do you have
to do with that?
Many things go on between
Vaishnavi and me.
Look, I am Vaishnavi's
best friend.
So I have a right to know this.
You are Vaishnavi's best friend?
Come on. I'll prove
it right now. Come!
Come on.
Vaishnavi, I am your
best friend, right?
Yes, why? -Explain it to him.
He was putting some paper
into your bag. -Paper?
Look in his hands.
Here's your 50 rupees.
As you promised me, don't tell
this to anyone please.
What was that? -During
a physics lecture..
..the professor Sgave a problem
from HC. Varma's book.
He didn't understand
that problem.
So I explained it to him.
So? -So what?
Prakash is the classes' topper.
If someone would know
this in the class..
..he would lose his
prestige, right?
Our corrupt Vaishnavi,
for hiding this..
..must have asked for
You cheater! -What's
my fault in this?
It is your mistake.
Why did you get caught
by Abhinav?
Navneet, your father has come.
He's sitting in the office room.
The principal has
called for you.
Go on.
Navneet, I think you
should take arts..
..because you really incline
towards it and.. -Excuse me!
How can you decide that?
I totally understand, sir.
You don't try to realise Navneet
will benefit through this.
Look at his mid-term marks.
His marks are pretty good.
Look at the physics..
..chemistry and maths marks.
I understand what
the problem is.
Sir, give me one more chance.
Its not that, sir.. -Thank
you for your help!
Come on, boy. Lets go.
Listen, you may fool your
principal and teacher..
..but I am not an idiot.
I know very well what
your plan is.
Come on home. I'll see you!
Search for it. I'll look too.
Search for it. I'll look too.
The nights that I have lost.
The forgotten event.
What more can I tell you?
Search for it. I'll look too.
Search for it. I'll look too.
The sleep that I lost. My
memory that is gone.
What more can I tell you?
I will slowly disappear.
I'll sorrowfully be
lost in the moment.
Search for it. I'll look too.
Whenever I was close,
you were with me.
Whenever I stayed away,
you were still with me.
Now the world that l
have left to seek.
There is no one with me.
I will leave silently.
I looked and searched
everywhere.
Everywhere the only
thing I found was..
Sir! Sir! Navneet
has fallen sir.
A lot of blood has flown
away, sir. Come on!
I'm sorry. He's no more.
Sir! Doctor!
Doctor! -No!
Doctor!
Doctor!
It was a silent evening.
There were no dreams.
It was a silent evening.
There were no dreams.
I never could express
that condition.
What more can I tell you?
Search for it. I'll look too.
Search for it. I'll look too.
Yesterday 13 days passed
since his death.
If Navneet's father hadn't put
too much pressure on him..
..he would never have
committed suicide.
If the cause of Navneet's
suicide is his father..
..why doesn't the police
arrest him?
Why don't you talk to your young
uncle regarding this?
She won't go alone.
We'll all go and talk to him.
Yes. That will be right.
Let's do that then.
We'll go today in the evening
and meet Mr. Sanjay.
Alright. -Ok.
What is it? The entire g*ng
is in my office today.
You appear to be one short.
What is it? Tell me something.
Navneet's father k*lled
him. -What?
The day we were getting our
term exams' results..
..the principal called
for Navneet's father.
I don't know what
happened inside..
..but when Navneet came out,
he was very scared.
His father's face
showed anger too.
He even threatened him saying..
'Come home, I'll see you.'
I told them about this too.
We were going to
go to him when..
He jumped off the school terrace
and committed suicide.
Uncle, another Navneet
mustn't die.
That is the only salute we
want to give our friend.
We are ready to do
anything for this.
Show us the way now.
Come on.
Hello inspector.
There was a St. Joseph
college student's..
..suicide case. May
I see its FlR?
Who are you?
I'm advocate Sanjay.
Why didn't you write the reason
for Navneet's suicide in this?
Sir, look carefully. He had
low marks in his exams.
He was depressed. That is
why he committed suicide.
I want to correct you
a little, inspector.
How his dad would beat him
up for getting low marks..
..thinking this, he
committed suicide.
Look, parents do hit
their children.
However, their intention
is never wrong.
We cannot accuse him
in this case.
Even spouses fight but if the
husband's oppression..
..goes beyond a limit, we have
a case against him, right?
Tell me. -That's
a different case.
A wife would accuse
her husband there.
That is why we take action.
But in this case..
..no one has laid an accusation.
He lays an accusation.
Yes sir.
Navneet's father scolded
him a lot that day.
He said..
'Come home, I'll see you.'
Navneet was very scared
to hear this.
I was there too.
Will you be able to say
all this in the court?
Surely.
Ok.
Mr. Sanjay will act as private
counsel for the complainants.
But he will act under
the guidance of..
..the public prosecutor.
Thank you, your honour.
He played a major part
in k*lling his son.
That is why I request the
court to punish him..
..so that no other parent..
..would not pressurise
their kids like this..
..and they may get a right
to live their life.
Your honour, I think this
is a open and shut case.
Every parent loves his child.
Whatever they do, it will be
for their kids' well-being.
You are 100 percent right.
Can you do something
for me? -What?
Fold them one after the
other and show me..
..how much you can
bend them. -What?
Please.
What do you want to
prove through this?
Your honour, I think the advocate
is a believer not of evidence..
..but of such tomfoolery.
I'm sorry I cannot do that.
Can I have the court
clerk do this?
Ok.
Your honour..
..you saw that they
both have limits.
When plastic was bended more
than its capacity, it broke.
That is why we use things
according to their capacity.
You must have noticed that whenever
we use a glass material..
..we automatically say..
'Be careful! Careful,
brother. Its glass.'
Your honour, our kids are
more fragile than glass.
We should handle them with care.
This man!
This man didn't handle his
son with care and he died.
We are fighting this case..
..so that it doesn't happen
with any other kid.
Your honour, these days even
if parents refuse..
..kids from watching movies,
they try to commit suicide.
Objection, your honour!
These things have nothing
to do with this case.
Objection sustained.
But I would like to request
my friend advocate to..
..prove the pointless accusations
made against my client.
In a court, justice is granted
by evidence not by speeches.
My first witness is
inspector Manoj.
Will you tell the court what
happened on November 10?
Sir, on November 10
in the morning..
..the principal of St. Joseph's
college called me.
He said that a kid has
fallen off the roof.
Come immediately. l
reached there soon.
What did you see there?
When I reached there I saw that
a child was drenched in blood.
A doctor was checking
his pulse..
..and later the doctor
pronounced him dead.
What did you do? -I did
my usual enquiry.
I found out that
he had no enemy.
He didn't fight with
anyone either.
What kind of a boy was Navneet
in your enquiry?
According to my enquiry, he was
a boy of a very gentle nature.
Everyone in the college
loved him a lot.
Please note this point,
your honour.
How did he die?
Look, he went to the roof alone.
He jumped from there and
committed suicide.
What reason did you state
in the normal FlR?
He didn't get good marks
in term exams.
He was quite depressed.
How did you file a charge-sheet on
Mr.Manjeet Singh's name then?
Inspector, you are under oath.
Tell me the truth.
Objection, your honour. He
is scaring the witness.
No, your honour. I am reminding
him his responsibility.
Objection over-ruled.
Inspector, please give details.
Yes, your honour.
Students of St. Joseph college
came with him to me.
They accused Mr. Singh.
They said that..
..it was due to his father that
Navneet committed suicide.
Why didn't you carry
out an enquiry and..
..file a charge-sheet against
him then? -Well, I.. I mean..
I took it casually. -
Why did you do that?
I'm sorry to say this but..
..this situation goes on in 60
percent of our country's houses.
Till today no one has taken
it as a criminal act.
Thank you.
Your witness please.
Inspector, do you remember the
section 306 of the constitution?
Yes sir.
According to the penal code,
if anyone commits suicide..
..and whoever abets the
commission of such suicide..
..shall be punished with
imprisonment of either..
..description of a term which
may extend up to 10 years..
..or shall also be
liable to fine.
Good.
So, my client Mr. Singh.
Is he guilty of crime
under this section?
No, sir. A person is guilty
under this act..
..only when he on purpose forces
someone to commit suicide.
In this case, however, Mr. Singh
doesn't have this intention.
That's all your honour.
A person who isn't a criminal
under the Indian Penal Code..
We don't have any right to
file a case against him.
No, your honour.
Look at this.
Many kids today..
..are committing suicide
due to this problem.
This is evidence
number one, sir.
Parents today have become
over-ambitious.
They demand more than the
possible limit from their kids.
They want to have their
kids top the class.
That is the reason why there is
extra pressure on their minds.
All of this proves that.
The law has been made for our
benefit and assistance.
That is why we have made many
amendments in the constitution.
Now it has become a social case.
We will begin it from here.
The case is accepted. The court
is adjourned for today.
Oh my dear child.
Oh my dear child.
Oh my dear child.
You will eat food derived
from fresh crops.
You will eat food derived
from fresh crops.
Now be happy and sleep.
Now be happy and sleep.
Now be happy and sleep.
Oh my dear child.
Sleep doesn't know
when to come.
We will have to inform it
that it has to come now.
We don't know when
it may come.
The lullaby has been
lost in a night.
Oh my dear child.
Listen to me, my dear child.
Close your eyes with
love. It will come.
Oh my dear child.
Oh my dear child.
You will eat food derived
from fresh crops.
You will eat food derived
from fresh crops.
Now be happy and sleep.
Now be happy and sleep.
The evening is coming
to an end.
The moon has risen in the sky.
The fog took its view away.
O moon, what mistake
did I make?
Now tell me whether you
will ever see me.
Oh my dear child.
Listen to me, my dear child.
Close your eyes with
love. It will come.
Oh my dear child.
Oh my dear child.
You will eat food derived
from fresh crops.
You will eat food derived
from fresh crops.
Now be happy and sleep.
Now be happy and sleep.
Now be happy and sleep.
Oh my dear child.
Aunt..
..if by filing a case
against uncle..
..we have increased your sorrow,
we will take back the case.
No, son. Whatever you
are doing is right.
At least a helpless mother
like me wouldn't..
..have to lose her
child in future.
Mr. Mishra, you are under
oath. -Yes sir.
What work do you do?
I teach physics in St.
Joseph college.
For how many years have you been
teaching now? -10 years.
With your experience, you
can understand children.
Yes sir.
Navneet was your student.
Yes sir.
Was Navneet suitable
to study science?
Objection your honour!
This is a leading question.
Objection sustained.
Alright, I'll ask this
question differently.
What opinion do you
have about Navneet?
The boy was decent.
He was hard-working too but he
wasn't suitable for science.
On what basis do you say this?
He had 90 percent marks in
English and he failed sciences.
Please note this point
your honour.
Did you tell his father
about this?
Yes sir. -What was
his reaction?
He controlled his anger..
..and requested for
another chance.
Why do you think Navneet
committed suicide?
Objection your honour!
Objection sustained.
No more questions, your honour.
Your witness please. -Thank you.
Mr. Mishra, I don't want to
ask you many questions..
..and waste yours and well
as the court's time.
I just have some doubts
to be cleared.
You can tell everything about
kids by your 10 year experience.
You just now said this in
the courtroom. -Yes sir.
In my experience of 12 years,
whichever client came before me..
..whether he is guilty
or innocent..
..I could never understand this.
I always left this decision
to the court.
Anyway, just tell me, from when
have you known Navneet?
About six months.
Just six months? -Yes sir.
His age must be around
That's right sir.
You mean to say a person who
nurtured a child for 16-17 years..
You understood the same boy
in about six months.
Graduation is completed
in three years.
You think a person who graduates
in 13 years..
That is because he has
more experience.
What should I do about
this? -Order! Order!
No more questions please.
Your honour, I request
to pass summons..
..to bring Navneet's mother
and brother to court.
Your honour, due to Navneet's
death his mother and brother..
..are mentally disturbed. This
is their medical certificate.
The court is adjourned
for today.
Sir, will we win the case? -
Don't you have faith in me?
What we mean is that,..
..after this will someone take
steps like what Navneet did?
Will the parents put pressure
on their children?
Will the parents let their
children live as they wish?
Your intentions are good.
But to bring about such
a drastic change..
..a movement has to
be brought about.
What should we do for that?
Does any of your parents..
..put a lot of pressure on you?
My parents put a lot of pressure
on me to come first..
..that it becomes difficult
to bear it.
Even if I come second or third
still I am punished at home.
Have you finished your
home work? -Yes mama.
What about the home work
from the coaching class?
Mama, can I sleep?
I have to reach college at
..it is already 12 now.
The condition of my friend
in still worse.
Doctor, is it something
serious? -No.
There is nothing to be scared.
Due to the pressure of studies
she is feeling hot inside..
..hence the bleeding
is a little more.
A lot of children these
days face this problem.
All of you file a case
against your parents.
Then I will file a PlL.
Tell all the children at
the college to the same.
This in itself will become
a big movement.
Meena..
Get these papers typed and..
..the get the signature
of these children.
Go.
Buddy I am finding the preparing
for engineering very hard.
I'm thinking of running
away from the house.
But why are you running
away from your house?
You too file a case.
Can we also file a case?
Yes. -But I don't
have the money.
That wouldn't be necessary.
You come with us.
Mr. Sanjay will fight
your case too.
Me too! -Me too! -
Me too! -Me too!
Me too! -Me too! -
Me too! -Me too!
Sir, all these people also
want to file a case.
Oh! -All these.
Take them to Meena. -Yes sir.
Uncle, these people also
want to file a case.
Good! Go to Meena.
Good morning sir. -Good morning
sir. -Good morning.
You're supporting these
children well.
I am only doing my duty.
Any comments about
these children?
Not only these children..
Every child in this generation
knows what it wants.
If we can recognise that and..
..help them correctly
they can do wonders.
Why did you take up this case?
Did something like this happen
in your life too?
It is not necessary that
something should have happened..
..in your life to help
someone. -Yes sir.
To make out the pain that
someone is suffering..
..all you need is a good heart.
We can appreciate the case
against the parents. But..
..against the government..
Wait and watch.
Sir. -Excuse me sir. -Sir,
one more question. -Sir!
As we have already informed
our viewers..
..on 1st November, a student
of St. Joseph college..
..Navneet had committed suicide.
As an outcome of the
suicide of Navneet..
..there is a case filed against
his father in the court.
But now we have received
the news that..
..friends of Navneet have
also filed case..
..against their parents
in the high court.
Further other friends
of his have also..
..filed against the government..
..a Public Interest Litigation
petition.
When our correspondents
asked them about this..
..what they said let us hear
it from them itself.
Yes Rahul, I am standing in
front of Allahabad high court..
..where in the history of India
for the first time children..
..have filed case against
their parents.
And also against the
government too.
What was the reason that
made these children..
..go to court against
their parents?
What is that they want,
come let us ask them.
We hear that you've..
..filed case against your
parents. -Yes we have.
You've filed PlL against
the Govt., am I right?
Yes, you're right,
we have filed.
What do you want to achieve
by doing this?
What do you want to
tell our viewers?
Excuse me. -Excuse me.
Tell us.
Someone, please tell us.
Tell us.
Someone, please tell us.
It's my life; why should
I be scared of someone?
I love history, then why should
I study mathematics?
With fear and dying of fear
what will I study?
Tell us.
Someone, please tell us.
Tell us.
Someone, please tell us.
What's so great in him?
What's so great in him?
Go to the school.
What I want to be.
It's something dear
to my heart.
Let us do.'
What I will answer that
I learn by heart.
The age will catch up
with us fast and far.
Tell us.
Someone, please tell us.
Will they come to
wipe my tears?
Tell us. -Tell us.
Will someone tell
us? -Tell us.
Tell us. -Tell us.
Will someone tell us?
Do we become a journalist or
do we become an artist?
Why can I become one?
Neither doctor or an engineer
I want to be an actor,
why should I not?
Why has the framer's son come
in a trouser and suit?
Why is not farming still
in his sentiment?
Tell us. Someone tell us.
Why are studies turning into
a challenge these days?
Tell us. Someone tell us.
Tell us. Someone tell us.
It's my life; why should
I be scared of someone?
I love history, then why should
I study mathematics?
With fear and dying of fear
what will I study?
Tell us. Someone tell us.
Tell us. Someone tell us.
They want justice and
that too fast.
Nitesh Dubey, Live
India, Allahabad.
Do you remember that
Jhunjhunwala? -Yes.
He has bought a new house.
It's a big house.
What interiors he has done
up. When I saw it..
..I never felt like
taking my eyes off.
He has spent a lot of money.
His son has completed software
engineering and gone to USA.
He is earning, and has
sent money from there.
That's how he has bought
a new house
Do I keep saying it to Dheeraj
just like that?
That's why I tell him day and
night to do study engineering.
That too top in it. You must
be seeing the competition.
See who it is. -Okay, I'll see.
Yes. -Mr and Mrs Chopra.
What is this? -Mr. Jha this
is summons from the court.
Court summons?! -Yes sir.
From registrar.. Complainant,
Gaurav Jha?
Bharat, what is this?
How will I know?
Without you knowing how did
summons from court come here?
Summons from the court?
Who sent it to us?
And why are you asking
about it to Bharat?
The summons have been sent
by Bharat's lawyer.
That's why I'm asking Bharat.
You still have not grown
a moustache..
..and you dare to
send us summons?
You! -Mummy please!
If you dare harming
me then I'll..
..have to send you another
summon through my lawyer.
I'm feeling very hungry
so give me some food.
Go to hell!
You will not get any food in
this house, understood?
One more summon will have
to sent in this respect.
Come and eat.
Where is your boss,
lawyer Sanjay?
Who are all of you? -Forget
that, call him out.
Sir is inside and.. -You
please call him out.
I am here.
Who are all of you?
Great brother!
You have made our children
revolt against us..
..and ask us who we are.
Come inside. -Come.
Sit down.
Look here lawyer sir, we've
not come here to sit.
Any you're inside the witness
box at the court.
You've to keep standing.
It would be better if
you sit down here.
You withdraw your case.
We know very well how to bring
up our children. -That's it.
This you prove in the court.
Okay.
Damn it!
The children of this generation.
Mr. Ramnath. -Yes sir.
Who is the lawyer representing
the govt?
Ms Nandita Prakash. -Good.
She is having very good reputation
to handle the case smartly.
Sir, this will not fall under
fundamental rights.
This will fall under directive
principles, so..
..there is no need
for us to worry.
But sir, Sanjay is a
very smart lawyer.
They way he argues
social issues..
..the adversaries are not in a
position to think anything.
They have no option but
to agree with him.
You're right. We can't take
this case so lightly.
Sir, excuse me.
Excuse me.
Put the TV on.
This news has been on
the top in the news..
..bulletin from the morning.
As we had informed you..
The moment the court opened
in the morning..
..a lot of children started
filing cases.
In different parts of the
country all put together..
..9001 cases have been filed.
According to estimates made by
our team by the evening..
..more than 20,000 cases are
expected to be filed.
The news bulletin on the matter
will broadcast at 2,4,6 and 8..
..and at 10 in the night experts
will examine this issue..
Sir, there is an important
call from the PMs office.
A special cabinet meeting
has been called.
Okay. All of you should prepare
the papers by the evening.
Okay? -Yes sir. -Yes
sir. -Sure sir.
Okay have all of you seen
the news? -Yes sir.
What do you feel?
Legally, we have
a chance to win.
I had told that this
case we will win.
But in spite of winning
the case..
..we will lose the respect
and faith of the public.
Meaning..
..we will lose even after
winning. -Sir.
Actually people welfare is the
government's responsibility.
Of course.
Sanjay will surely bring up
this point in the court.
And because of this point
the pubilc will feel..
..that we are not thinking about
the welfare of the public.
We will tell the opposition
camp has instigated Sanjay.
He always does like
this. -My god!
You will tell this
to the media and..
..spoil the image of
our govt? Look..
Tell the party president..
..that from our party..
..no one will speak to the
media on this matter.
But, if the media personnel ask
us what will we tell them?
We will tell that..
..as long as the matter is in
court we'll not say anything.
We believe in the
justice of court.
That's it. -Certainly.
In the case of the children
vs Govt. and parents..
..there have been more cases
filed that we estimated.
Out of this 30165 cases against
the government..
..and 3817 4 cases against the
parents have been filed.
There is a possibility
of more petitions..
..being filed in
the coming days.
In a country where a case
is heard for 14 years..
..in that rate for so many
cases to be heard..
..thousands of courts will need
thousands of hours to hear it.
Already there are many cases
pending in our courts.
We need to see how our courts..
..will save themselves from the
Now for some sports news.
Spain has beat Germany..
..and won the Euro cup. With
this the people in Spain..
..are in a wave of happiness
and joy and show this joy..
..they were seen on the
streets. -Hello.
Have you gone mad seeing
those boys?
I fail top understand. He
wants to do farming now.
How many times have I explained
to you son that there is not..
..enough money in farming for
the labour you put in.
Se your uncle yourself.
He has done engineering
and happy with a job.
How happy his life
is pulling along.
Papa, why don't you make
him understand?
Papa, if everyone goes for
a job who will do farming?
Anyway, I love farming.
If no one does farming then how
will there be food to eat?
Will you import it from outside?
First we were uneducated.
We used to borrow money
from money lenders..
..on high interest rates
and destroy ourselves.
Now in spite of being educated..
..we still borrow money with
interest from foriegn countries.
We and our govt. are dancing
to their tunes.
There is some good news sir.
From different parts..
..of India 95 Psychiatrists
have called you up.
I have noted their contact
numbers and..
..some of them want
to meet you too.
Oh! That's very good.
Call them in.
Yes sir. -Oh! Sent some tea
too. -Okay sir. -Thanks.
Hello. I'm.. -Hello.
Rajesh Srivastav. -Hi! -
My fellow Psychiatrist..
..Rishi Kapadia. -I'm
Satish Kar. -Hi!
Sit down please. -Thank you.
Mr. Sanjay..
..we are following the developments
in Navneet suicide case.
Wer also know that..
..a lot of children are
facing this problem.
We want to help you in
any way possible.
Look, for expert opinion in
the court I need witnesses.
Yes, we can and will
surely testify.
Thank you.
Bye. -Thank you. -Thank you.
For the hearing of this
sensational case..
..the chief justice of India has
appointed a special bench.
Now all the cases have been
transferred to Supreme court.
Why was this done?
Come let us ask our colleague
Karad who is now..
..with Mr. SR Sharma, the
chief justice of India.
Mr Subir now I am at
the residence..
..of chief justice of India
and as you already know..
..the children vs Govt., parents
has created a great storm.
To the extent that it has shaken
the parliament too.
That is why for the first
time in history..
..the chief justice of India
is addressing the media.
Sir, regarding this matter
what have you got to say?
Look, from every corner
in India till now..
..1,90,000 petitions against
the parents..
..and against Govt. of India..
..1,09,000 PlL petitions
have been filed.
This is a record in the
history of India.
Till now on any issue..
..not only in India but even
in the entire world..
..so many petitions have
never been filed.
In all these petitions
the real issue is one.
They are both interrelated too.
This is to save the time
of the courts and..
..to give justice to the
children at the earliest..
..we had to take this step.
Sir, tell us why did you chose..
..Justice Bharat Kumar
for the special bench?
Look, to handle both the cases..
..it is important to understand
both the generations well.
A judge like Bharat Kumar has
the experience for this.
You rightly said sir. Justice
Bharat Kumar has given..
..many landmark judgments
earlier.
Before we finish I have a
last question to you sir.
Did you chose law by
your own choice..
..or was it your
parents' choice?
Good question.
But no comments.
That was chief justice of
India Mr. SR Sharma..
..who has promised speedy
justice for the children.
With cameraman Abhishek, Parag
Shapekar Live India, Delhi.
Sir, Gaurav's mother
wants to meet you.
Okay sir.
You can go inside madam.
Thank you.
My son Gaurav and you..
..both of you are
misunderstanding my husband.
He is after all a child but
you're grown up and still..
..doing such a wrong thing.
Look, my husband works very
hard to earn a living.
He has never done anything
for himself.
He has always everything
for his son.
He has always thought
only about him.
And to such a man..
..a court summon has been sent,
what justice is this?
Anything else?
That our child studies well
and gets a good job..
..that he prospers well, is it
a crime to think like that?
No.
Then why this summon
from the court?
You ask your husband to meet me.
Okay.
What a worthless boy we
have given birth to.
I have been asking you to take
ItA and take us to Delhi.
We are going to Delhi
but to fight a case.
Fun! We are going to
Delhi. -Shut up!
Shut up and sit down.
Children vs parents and
Govt, the points in..
..all the petitions will
be heard in this court.
That's why chief justice
of India..
..has appointed me in this
bench. All of you know..
..that the Navneet suicide case
will also be heard here.
The proceedings may start.
My lord. The children these
days are facing..
..a lot of pressure
of studies on them.
In most cases between class
lX to class Xll.
The interesting fact is that..
..before the children get the
knowledge from the books..
..the parents decide..
..what they should do and
what they'll do in life.
To understand this
issue better..
..we are fighting this case.
Thank you, my lord.
My lord.
It's an unfortunate day in
the history of india.
The country where parents
are worshipped..
..where a son like
Shravan Kumar..
..thought his duty was to
serve his blind parents.
Where Ram to keep up the
promise of his parents..
..went on exile for 14
years in the jungle.
Where Bhishma for the sake
of his father's marriage..
..maintained celibacy throughout
his entire life.
In that country today..
.. a child on India is fighting
a case against his parents.
My lord.
If our learned lawyer has
touched upon history..
..then I would also like
to say something.
In Mahabharat., among
the 5 Pandavs..
..Bhim mastered using the mace
and Arjun the bow and arrow.
Nakul and Sahadev had
mastered fencing.
That means that in ancient
times too..
..they learnt what
they liked most.
But today the parents
are pushing..
..their choice on the children.
I want to say something to you
as well as all the parents..
..that the children are not
against their parents.
They are against their thoughts.
My lord, here are some bills.
This is the bill of children
college fees and books..
..and these are the bills for
extra coaching classes and..
..these are for their clothes
and roaming around and..
..for their pocket money.
How can the children file a
case against such parents?
How can they file a case?
Seems that my friend
has forgotten.
Never mind, I'll teach after
the court is over.
In the matter of bills you seem
to have forgotten one bill.
What bill? -Your bill.
You take fees for
fighting a case.
Can you assure them that
you'll win the case?
What nonsense are you talking?
There is no relation between
these matters and the case.
There is a connection, my lord.
There is a connection.
Lawyer takes fees for
fighting a case.
If he loses then what?
Like that the parents
sent their children..
..to school for studies.
The child on its
part works hard.
Gets 4th, 7th or 10th rank.
But he gets punished for
not getting 1st rank.
How is that justified?
My lord, I wish to
call my youngest..
..client and witness, Chutki.
Permission granted.
Chutki.
Dear, what is your name?
Chutki. -Chutki.
In the house my parents,
my brother and..
..my uncles and aunts
all call me Chutki.
In the school? -Dharni.
Which class are you in?
Second class.
Do you like studies?
I like it. In English and math
I stood first in the class.
But in ES, Gk and Hindi I don't
rank first in the class.
You can ask the questions.
Do you always want
to come first?
No.
That mummy wants.
If I don't come first
mummy gets angry.
Oh! -And your papa?
Papa too.
My lord I wish to call Chutki's
parents to the witness box.
Permission granted.
My lord, I also wish to ask some
questions to this child.
She is not a grown up child.
You can cross examine
the elder children.
Still in the end if want
you can call her.
yes, my lord.
Mr and Mrs Pandey.
Mr. Prabhakar, are you the
head of your company?
No.
Your designation.
Assistant manager.
What is the topmost designation
in your company and..
..will you reach that position
before you retire?
Objection my lord.
This question has no relevance
to this case.
My lord this is an important
question.
I will prove that
it has relevance.
Objection over ruled.
Answer this question.
The highest position is
that of a director.
I can at best become
a Sr. Manager.
Does your wife know that?
Yes, she knows.
Tell me something.
Your wife, whether in
the role of a wife..
..or in the role of a mother
or as a good cook.
Which is she best in?
She is average in everything.
Great! You're average,
your wife is average..
..the child in the class between
If she doesn't come first..
..punishing her,
is it justified?
Order. Order.
Madam.
Madam, at least you tell us..
Since we couldn't so..
..we expect that our children
stand first.
Please note this point, my lord.
I want to call Mr &
Mrs Ketan Chopra.
My lord, in this particular
case..
..I wish to first call Dheeraj
to the witness box.
Permission granted.
Dheeraj, while filing the case
against your parents..
..the reason you've
written is that..
..your parents compare you to
their friend's children..
..and pressurise you.
The things that your friends
have, you also want them..
..have you ever insisted
so with your parents?
I did but.. -Answer
in yes or no.
Don't answer questions
that I didn't ask you.
Sir.
I want to say something to you.
Tell me.
My parents wanted to
buy a bike for me.
All my friends have cycles.
If I had a bike then l
can't move with them.
That's why I didn't ask for
anything that they can't get me.
Ask them, did I ask
for Mercedes Benz?
Order. Order.
Tell me Dheeraj, how many
hours do you study?
Sir, I study between
From 7 to 2l attend college
and after that..
..I come home and have lunch and
then 3 to6 coaching classes.
After that in the night, dinner
at 9 and then 10 to 11..
..I do my home work and sleep.
Okay.
Tell me in detail what you
do between 7 to 10.
Sir, from 7 to 8.30 I'm
with my friends.
After that I come
home and then..
..computer games and
songs, that's all.
Okay.
You roam around with
your friends..
..play computer games
and listen to songs..
Basically you waste
your valuable time.
Sir, this is our age to
play and have fun.
If I spent some time with
my friends, what's wrong?
Court is adjourned.
The rest of the proceedings
will continue tomorrow.
You were great today.
You made the defense
lawyer speechless.
Brother was I not good?
You're our heroine.
Uncle will we win?
When there are so many
people with us..
..then we must surely win.
Come.
What do you feel?
After this case the children
will not respect their parents?
No, I don't feel so.
I feel that because of this
case the relationship..
..of the child and the parents
will become stronger.
We borrow money and get our children
educated in big schools.
These useless ones are filing
case against us.
We pay the EMl against
the loan regularly.
But I feel we should
spend some..
..installments of our
time on our children.
Mr. Sanjay as you told us..
..the objective of
both the cases..
..children vs parents, children
vs govt. are inter related.
Hence we shall discuss children
vs government today.
Ys my lord.
Ms Nandita you must also have
been briefed about this.
Yes my lord.
Start the proceedings.
My lord, PlL is only..
..for fundamental rights and..
..this case..
..is not covered by
fundamental rights.
My lord.
Under article 45..
..women and children come under
directive principle.
In the case of RA Ravi similar
PlL was filed..
..and the supreme court gave a
ruling on that. I request..
..that this case also should
be treated in the same way.
Permission granted.
Thank you my lord.
My lord, if the parents put
the pressure of education..
..on their children
then that's their..
..it is their family
matter. Their..
This is a personal
matter and hence..
..the government cant interfere.
Milord.
Some parents have child-marriage
done.
I know that..
..whatever parents do, it is
for their children's good.
If child-marriage is done
for the child's good..
..will we support them?
I object Milord. Child-marriage
is ill*gal.
Who made that law?
The government did.
As you said child-marriage..
..is their personal
matter for them.
Why is the government
intruding then?
Milord, we all know that child
marriage is a social crime..
..and blocks progress
and hence..
That is why the government
has stopped it.
Please! Please note this point,
Milord. Please note this point.
Milord, is advocate Sanjay
trying to say that..
..giving parental guidance to
children to make a better..
..future is a social evil?
Therefore the government needs
to step in and take a stand?
Well, I would think not.
Milord, it is a well
established law..
..that children till the time
they remain minors..
..need the care and protection
of a parent or a guardian.
On the very basic premise that
they are not capable of..
..making sound decisions.
I think advocate Sanjay
is trying to overturn..
..this fundamental
tenate of law.
Milord, she is absolutely right.
Parents and guardians
must show the path.
This is not the way!
Its forcing and pressurizing.
To prove this..
..I would like to call Dr.Rajesh
Shrivastav to the witness box.
Permission granted.
Doctor, you are a child
psychiatrist.
That's right, sir.
For the record, I am a child
psychiatrist, Dr. Shrivastav.
Tell me, these days..
..how parents treat their
children these days.
Today's parents dont understand
their children's problems.
Some parents..
..just talk to kids about
their school..
..studies, examination or..
..or the marks derived
from them.
They think that..
..getting a laptop for them..
..or buying them expensive
books..
..would end their responsibility.
Well, that is wrong.
I think that..
..parents should..
..communicate well
with their kids.
Taking some time off thier
busy lives everyday..
..they must talk to thier kids
and understand their problems.
In fact, I..
..would like to warn
parents that..
..threatening or scaring
them with consequences..
..such as failure and such
likes. Creating such fear..
..that if they dont beat
the competetion..
..their future is very..
..will be dark. All this..
..into kids' minds,
their brains..
..it creates stress hormones.
Their emotional balance..
Their emotional balance
goes haywire.
So, parents have to be
extremely careful.
You think this kids rebellion
is right or wrong?
Objection Milord. This
is a leading question.
Sorry.
I withdraw my question.
Your witness.
Thank you.
Dr. Shrivastav..
Do you believe that..
..all kids are decent like a
holy boy and all parents..
..are wretched like villains?
No.
I believe that today's mothers
have no understanding.
They dont understand thier sons.
Thank you.
Well..
I completely agree
to what you said.
If parents understand their
kids a bit more this..
..will be rid off.
That's right.
But I would maintain, Milord.
The government cannot interfere
in this case.
I dont agree with this madam.
I know that until..
..in government schools..
..education's standard..
..doesnt improve, this problem
cannot be solved.
Dr. Shrivastav, I assume that..
..you are a psychiatrist
and not into education.
The discussion here
is not about the..
..government's educational
policies but..
..on parents and thier kids..
..putting pressure and high
expectations causing..
..them to break limits
sometimes.
Yes but these increased
expectations or pressure..
..are caused by government
policies too.
Milord.
I do not agree with that.
Well, Milord. Let me explain.
I believe that many parents..
They dont trust government
schools..
..whether they are primary or
secondary levels of education..
..they dont trust it.
The dont trust the quality
of education and hence..
..inspite of high cost..
..they send their children
to private schools.
They are spending
a lot of money.
Naturally, their expectations
rise too.
Milord.
What course and duration
of study..
..the government cant
monitor this.
If parents pressurise
kids to study and..
..have expectations from them,
it is certainly bad but..
The government cant do
anything about this.
Milord.
I dont agree with
the state lawyer.
To prove my quote..
..I'd like to call upon Mr. Jha
into the witness box.
Permission granted.
Mr. Jha, I..
What does your son Gaurav do?
He's studying +2 from
St. Joseph college.
What subjects does he have?
Science.
Alongwith +2, I think..
..he is also getting prepared
for llT's entrance exams.
People take science only for
medicine, engineering and llTs.
Tell me something,
other than this..
..he cant do anything else?
What else will he do?
He'll get a good job through
this at the least.
He'll earn some money.
Note this point, Milord.
Many parents in India think..
..that medicine, engineering,
lAS..
No other job is worthwhile
beyond this.
If a boy joins the lAS..
..his respect in the
society increases.
Therefore there is immense
competetion.
Last year, for 4500 seats..
..300000 students
gave llT's exam.
There is highly tough
competetion.
That is why, parents are
pressurising children.
The court is adjourned.
Further proceedings will
be carried on tomorrow.
Come, lets bring the
moon to earth today.
Lets bank a river that
is overflowing.
The questions that have arisen..
we will find answers to them.
We will ask for an account.
We will bring parity.
Why be afraid?
Come, lets bring the
moon to earth today.
Lets bank a river that
is overflowing.
They say that there is no life
and insult the ill ones.
We ask them to come
and discuss it.
They say that it is worthless.
It is a waste of time.
We ask them to check it over.
We realise this and
dont want a w*r.
But we dont want
destruction too.
Our life is education.
Isnt that right?
Come, lets bring the
moon to earth today.
Lets bank a river that
is overflowing.
The questions that have arisen..
we will find answers to them.
We will ask for an account.
We will bring parity.
Why be afraid?
Come, lets bring the
moon to earth today.
Lets bank a river that
is overflowing.
The earth that we trust
and belive in.
At least lay a base for
that ground today.
Some other people will come
on this land sometime.
They must be able to survive
this. Prepare it for that.
We realise this and
dont want a w*r.
But we dont want
destruction too.
Education should be easy.
Isnt that right?
Come, lets bring the
moon to earth today.
Lets bank a river that
is overflowing.
The questions that have arisen..
we will find answers to them.
We will ask for an account.
We will bring parity.
Why be afraid?
Come, lets bring the
moon to earth today.
Lets bank a river that
is overflowing.
Lets go. Lets go. Lets go.
Lets go. Lets go. Lets go.
Lets go. Lets go. Lets go.
Lets go. Lets go. Lets go!
Why would a child accuse
his parent?
He gets milk from containers and
education from the government.
Once, a squirrel came under
Lord Ram's feet.
Even though it was under
tremendous pain..
..the squirrel didnt complain.
Lord Ram asked it..
..why it didnt tell him.
The squirrel said..
..whenever I was in pain,
I took the name of Ram.
But whose name do I take
if Ram is hurting me?
Whenever children undergo pain,
they go to their parents.
But if parents cause pain..
..where will the kids go then.
Every child in this country..
..is a pillar of tomorrow's
world.
Our nations future
depends on them.
If the pillars arent strong, how
will our country be strong?
This question isnt
by these kids.
It isnt of thier parents.
It is not by the Indian
government.
The question is about
India's future.
You are making a mistake.
You think about the future..
..and lose the present.
Let the kids live
thier childhood.
Dont snatch their childhood
from them.
Dont make them old
at a young age.
Walk with them..
..and help them to fulfil their
good dreams and aspirations.
It isnt necessary that..
..children must do
what parents want.
You are just like them
then. Remember.
Every person decides
his own fate.
If we all understand their
dreams and pain..
..there wont be any more
of Navneet-like cases.
No more parent will
lose their child.
Walk the generation and
there wont be any gap.
Be their guide and
not a dictator.
I want to clarify this here that
this only applies to kids..
..who work hard but
their parents..
..cannot understand their
hard-work and aim.
It doesnt apply to kids
who are stubborn..
..and dont focus on
their careers.
The government of India
must first..
..sponsor education
till 18 years..
..and have it as a
fundamental right.
Kids must be put into school only
a year before the first grade.
Not two years as it s happening
now. The second thing.
Kids and their parents must..
..undergo career counselling
in every school and college.
This career counselling
can be of two types.
Firstly.
What the kids can do.
Secondly.
All the courses that
are available.
The nation can progress in
every way only when..
..the child..
..whatever he likes,
he studies..
..and have better chances of
getting a job according to that.
I would advise the Indian
government..
..to appoint any NGO for this.
A budget of 100 crores must
be sanctioned for this,
I want..
..the Indian government
to follow this soon.
Manjeet Singh's case
has to be decided.
Milord.
We want to say something.
Come to the witness
box and tell me.
Milord. We didnt file this
case to punish uncle.
Your honour.
I must be punished, your honour.
I am guilty.
I pressurised my child..
..and forced him to commit
suicide, your honour.
Punish me.
Punish me, your honour.
So that no parent in future..
..on their innocent
kids' minds..
..lays force.
Instead kids must..
..kept like flowers..
..and nurtured with love.
Not by using force
as in my case.
Today I am..
..before all the kids
here today..
..extremely sorry.
I ask for their forgiveness.
I'm sorry.
Milord.
We wish to take back our case.
Yes, Milord.
A person who has lost his son..
..cannot have a bigger
punishment.
His only mistake is that..
..he forced his dreams
on his son.
Forgive him.
We want this to be taken
up in the parliament.
It should be debated
in the parliament.
We cannot bring Navneet back.
At least we can give his
brother his father back.
I hope that after today..
..children and parents have
better understanding..
..between themselves.
The case is closed and the
court is adjourned.
The day has come which
was awaited not only..
..by the nation but
worldwide too.
Justice Bharat Kumar made
another rightful decision..
..and increased public
confidence in the law.
Justice Bharat Kumar
in his ruling..
..didnt just make people realise
about their short-comings..
..but also the gap..
..that was created between
kids and parents..
It can be hoped that it will
help to fill that gap too.
Only this can be said..
A poet has very nicely put this.
'Two parts dont combine
to become four.'
'Make the intelligent ones
a little innocent.'
Come, lets bring the
moon to earth today.
Lets bank a river that
is overflowing.
Lets go. Lets go. Lets go.
Lets go. Lets go. Lets go.
Lets go. Lets go. Lets go.
