Synopsis: Following the Mandal Commission report and the Supreme Court of India's decision to maintain a 27 percent reservation for Dalits and lower/backward castes, right-winged political parties organize protests. The Principal of Shakuntala Thakral Mahavidyalal, a non-government college which is exempt from this mandate, gets in the limelight when it's Principal, Prabhakar Anand, endorses the decision - much to the ire of the trustees as well as the newly appointed Vice-Principal Mithilesh Singh, who has invested Rs.1200 Crores in private coaching classes. Prabhakar refuses to change his stand and ends up tendering his resignation, taking his family, consisting of his wife, Kavita and daughter, Poorbi, to live near Shambhu Yadav's Tabela after they find their family home being taken over by Mithilesh's coaching classes. Attempts to evict Mithilesh's staff will be in vain and will not only end up alienating the family from everyone but Prabhakar will also be summoned and possibly arrested for

And i got a job here,

in the reserved category.

I see.

It's only through hard work

that we win respect.

Yes, sir.

It was my good fortune

that i got to meet you today.

It was a pleasure

meeting you too, indradev.

Ram, sir. Indradev ram.

Thank you, sir.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

If there is any problem,

let me know.

Now work sincerely.

I want to see my friend happy.

Yes, uncle.

Sushant, can't you wait?

But, i'm starving!

Wait for deepak to come.

He'll eat when he gets here.

Why should i starve to death?

The parathas will go cold

if you open the container.

Oh i see...

such glorious love!

Now that he is going to the us...

for whom will you bring hot parathas?

That leaves only...

me!

Then the parathas are mine and so are...

you wish!

Take a look in the mirror!

Why?

Is it worse than deepak's?

Deepak kumar, i'm extremely pleased

to appoint you as a junior lecturer at s.t.m.

Congratulations.

Thank you, sir.

I'm proud of you.

- Come on.

- This is where deepak lives?

Why didn't you tell me

you live in such a narrow lane?

I could barely get my car in!

But i had built a special helipad

for you on the roof.

Little did i know

that you'd come by road.

I would've happily come but

your poorbi is scared of flying with me.

Sushant! You can't even walk properly...

and you're talking of flying.

Oh yeah?

Make it fast, ok?

- Shanti...

how are you?

I'm good.

When it comes to a party,

you conveniently forget your leader.

Just some snacks for the kids.

- Namaste, aunty.

- Hello.

Deepak got a job.

Oh, this is just a temporary job, aunty.

Once he completes his doctorate in

the us, he'll get his real job.

All of us are in for greatjobs soon.

No one can stop

the supreme court from...

granting 27% reservation

for seats in higher education.

And, where will it come from?

Greetings sir, please have a seat.

It is i who should be greeting you.

You are a model

for the backward castes...

and great is your principal...

for going out of his way

to help backward caste kids.

It's not like that.

He helps everyone.

That's indeed the

highest of truths, deepak.

Our principal's heart overflows

with kindness for one and all.

And his perennial intention is to furnish each

individual with a modicum of opportunity.

Modicum of opportunity?

Meaning that he gives

everyone a chance.

Then why don't you say chance?

That's exactly what i indicated.

Did you guys hear what

pandit here just indicated?

Chance!

Spread your wings and you'll take flight

give me a chance and

you'll have the sky in sight

spread your wings and you'll take flight

give me a chance and

you'll have the sky in sight
