- Namaste, sir.

- Namaskar.

I am Parvathy Swami,

the food matron, sir.

Here, sir.

No. Fasting, sir. Tuesday.

Sorry, sir.

You see, sir,

every project has a middle man.

Without a middle man,

no project can be successful.

I am just a food contractor, sir.

I am sorry, you fell ill eating my food.

No, no. I have been out

of India for two years

which has probably weakened my immunity.

Immunity?

Can we do something

to increase your immunity, sir?

Yes.

Get out.

Teachers of the world unite!

Teachers of the world unite!

Praveen Kumar! Down, down!

Praveen Kumar! Down, down!

Praveen Kumar! Down, down!

Praveen Kumar! Down, down!

What are you doing, sir?

You chased our food supplier away.

You think this is your police station?

You are sending memo after memo,

teachers have to be punctual,

put in so many hours.

What are these new rules?

We are teachers, not factory workers.

Sir, I told you, we are all united!

I will make all principals

and teachers rebel!

Praveen Kumar! Down, down!

- Nasreen.

- Yes, sir.

Take down all their names

and issue suspension orders to them.

And place advertisements

asking for new teachers.

You are doing something very wrong, sir!

Sir, these bullying tactics won't work!

Sir, these bullying tactics won't work!

Your name?

Come, come, come! Let's play a game!

- What game?

- Poor game!

Not "poor" game, it's power game.

You always make the same mistake.

Not Power. It is Poor. Who is the

poorest of us all? That's the game.

Okay! Me first!

My mother makes chicken feather soup.

She says it will give me strength,

but I will never get chicken!

Listen, listen! I am so poor,

that even our goat has only two legs!

- Don't make things up, liar!

- Okay! Me, me, me!

I am so poor, that my mother says

it takes two days to cook a meal.

Does she think I am a fool?

Poorna, it's your turn!

What can I say?

My name itself has the word "Poor".

Namaste, sir.

- Brother...

- Let me speak.

You think this is a joke, sir?

You threw out our food supplier,

suspended all of us

and placed these ads for new teachers.

Don't deprive us

of our daily bread, sir.

Sir, we will go to the Chief Minister!

What are you saying?

I've been working for 15 years! There's

not been a single complaint, sir!

Keep your voice down.

Morning, sir. One moment. Here.

Who is it, sir?

CM.

What are you doing, sir?

Sir, my apologies.

I will call you back.

Thank you, sir.

Sir, this is terrible.

We have families.

What will happen to our children?

Think about it, sir. Please, sir.

Okay.

For all the days you have been

on strike, no salary cut.

But, from today,

the development of the children
