Story : The film talks about Indian education system and the loopholes, which have been degrading the system. Many schools in India that are making money on the name of education but they are not educating the kids properly and the immature kids get misdirected as they grow. There are hundreds of schools taking excess money from parents for no cause and the parents pay because they believe in the name of school and they want their kids to have a bright future. The film's story throws a light on the name game played by popular schools.

A new English teacher joins a popular school to find school management forcing kids to pay for extracurricular activities and the teacher objects to the process but he is surprised to find that the principal himself wants the parents of the kids to pay for miscellaneous expenses. The students are punished if they do not pay the money and parents have no other way than to admit to school's demands. The techniques of media planner and school participating in reality shows , employed by the schools puts excess pressure on kids who have to face pressure from both the parents and teachers ,even if they are not interested in it. All these have a strong impact on the confidence and mental growth of little ones.

After a series of incidents, the school's issues are discussed on internet and other media of expression and the complete education system comes under scan. The movie tries to depict the realities behind schools participating in reality shows and the reality of the changed education system.

Wow, sounds very good. Honestly, Indian schools did teach me a lot, heck when I moved to America in 2nd grade I had the knowledge of an average american 4th grader, most Indian students that move to the States are always in honors or accelerated classes, but that also means that the Indian education system is more grueling and burdensome on the kids. I remember even at 5 years old my mother would tutor us everyday even paid our own teacher to come to our house once a week to tutor.

If I didn't make top of my class, it meant a beating from home and an earful from my teachers; who expected more from me. My bag weighed about a ton and I was only in LKG!!
