This is my phone.
But it fell off the cliff last night.
How did it get back here on it's own?
Parth. Breakfast is ready.
Come down, son.
Coming, mom.
There are three keys to success.
Faith, strategy and strength.
One is incomplete without the other.
Wow, Chunky. Your story was amazing.
And your Hindi. It's so amazing.
That it is.
He's like a parrot.
He hears things from mom and repeats them word by word.
Even his Hindi is edgy.
Hello, Parth. Good morning.
Come.
Come on.
Let's have breakfast. Come on.
Hi, Parth.
Arjun. - Hi, mom.
How are you?
Good morning. Hello, Nysa.
Morning.
Morning Chunky.
Parth.
How are you feeling? Are you okay?
If anything happens at school,
something doesn't feel right, or someone says something,
talk to your mom or me.
Understood.
Hello.
Yeah.
What? When did this happen?
Keep a close watch. I am coming.
I'm coming right now.
That was from CRC.
I've to get there now.
Breakfast?
Breakfast... I'll have this.
Thank you, bye.
Okay.
Bye.
Come on, eat.
Okay.
Careful.
What is all this?
Just a minute, Madam
Will you tell me what is all this?
Parth went to the woods yesterday.
What if some trouble clung to him.
Let's hope it's not the jungle demon.
Jungle Demon?
What's that?
That's how Kanta aunt's mother used to scare her.
It's true, Chunky. - I see.
My mother's mother mom saw him with her own eyes many years ago.
Okay, fine. Take it away now.
Oh, brother.
I'll get the fruits.
I forgot to get the herb tea.
I'll be right back.
Quickly finish your breakfast. You two have to go to school.
What is this jungle demon?
Nothing.
It's a legend that's been forced on Bheem Mukteshwar.
For tourism's sake.
But the only thing that's growing is confusion.
Just like Mathematics in Chemistry.
What is this?
Mole Concept.
It's easy.
It's called Avogadro's number.
6.022*1023
Wait a second. How do you know?
Didn't you... ? - He's absolutely right.
Okay.
No more discussions about studying at the breakfast table.
Life and studies are getting tough.
From now I will increase my study time by two hours.
So I can mug up everything.
You will remember what you studied,
if you understand what you are reading.
Like Parth.
Right, Parth? - Parth.
Hi, Dr. Vineeta. I was coming to see you.
It was about Mr. Vyas...
Lucky you, Arjun,
I didn't listen to you, right?
I mean you wouldn't get off his case.
And look at him now.
He is recovering.
Dr. Vineeta, bodies often twitch due to reflexes.
We have made no significant changes in his treatment or medication,
That could trigger such recovery or change.
I have to investigate further to reach any conclusion, you know.
I need more time.
Arjun, do whatever it takes.
I need to inform his trust committee.
Chunky, Parth.
Happy Wednesday.
Hey, Laffu. - Grandma.
Grandma.
I just love Wednesdays.
Of course. Of course.
So what's so special about Wednesdays?
Grandma.
- Yeah.
I was born on a Wednesday.
I see. I see.
Yes.
And secondly, grandma,
Wednesdays are exactly the middle of the week.
Aah... I see.
Right. - Right.
And well, I never liked school.
I would spend Mondays thinking, the day after tomorrow is Wednesday.
And on Wednesdays I knew, the day after tomorrow is Friday.
And on Fridays I knew, the day after tomorrow is...
Yes.
Sunday.
And that's how I survived school thinking about the next day.
And he was always allergic to school.
Yeah...
You know the steep slope before school.
He would get down to give the rickshaw a push.
After Laffu would vanish...' poof'.
Well, there is a problem with the education system.
Everyone has a unique talent,
but they are tested with the same exam.
Exactly.
That's a billion-dollar answer.
Isn't it, grandma?
By the way,
you must have topped your class even though you didn't like school.
I never went to school.
Actually, my grandpa didn't trust schools much.
So I had home-schooling.
Homeschooling?
Really?
Well, there is not much difference, between schooling and homeschooling.
It's the teachers that matter.
Teachers. Homeschooling?
You two continue, I'll see you later.
Bye grandma. - Bye grandma.
I'll see you too.
Time for my studies.
I'll drop you.
Parth.
Your mom and dad were pretty worried yesterday evening.
Where were you?
I...
I didn't realise I went too far on my cycle.
In fact, I went into the woods.
And there I...
Wait a second, you are not in your uniform.
But it's not your birthday today...
No.
I...
Actually, mom wants me to take my board exams seriously.
So they are sending me off to a boarding school.
Mom and dad are collecting my TC.
You... are leaving,
and you didn't tell me.
I didn't know myself. It wasn't final until last night
They were still in two minds.
Uncle talked to the boarding school,
they had an opening... - Sahir.
Let's go.
Okay, see you then.
You are leaving,
who will I do this handshake with?
Well, stay in touch.
Bro, finished saying goodbyes
to your friend?
We are his friends.
Soon we'll also become his best friends.
According to a study by the University of Kansas,
you need 200 hours to become best friends...
Bugs Bunny... come here, son.
Yes. - You see,
You should know the right time to insert your knowledge
Try to see the situation and emotions sometimes.
Alright?
It's okay. - Fine.
Come on, Parth.
Come on, leave it. I am here.
Me too.
You will start a fire in the jungle?
Run away.
Come on. - Run away.
Ice cream.
You must try the strawberry flavour. It's amazing.
Mister, where is my ice cream?
I just gave it to you.
But there is no ice cream here.
Did you see my ice cream? - It was right here.
Hi, Harshit. - Hi.
Did you do your homework? - Yes, I did.
Show me.
Hey... do you have an issue with your brother?
There seems to be so much tension in your gaze.
Heema. Over here.
Heema.
We have always been in the same class.
That's Johnson and Parth.
Good morning, Sir.
Good morning.
Thank you, Sir.
Roll Number One. - Present, Sir.
Two. - Present, Sir.
Roll number 13.
Present, Sir.
Heema.
What's that on your wrist?
Sir, we are having our traditional rituals at home.
You know this is not allowed in our school.
Sorry, Sir.
What rituals are happening in this season?
Protection from the Jungle demon.
Let's begin the lessons...
[indistinct chatter]
You don't look like the devotional type,
like Heema.
And...
This, This is a time bomb.
Oh yes.
I was wondering why I can smell sulphur dioxide and barium.
And...
I think it has some potassium hydrate as well...
Mr. Periodic table, chill.
Come down.
Okay.
Now hear my plan.
At recess, Hooda will be having 'rajma-chawal' as always,
I will light the first bomb in the boy's toilet.
And keep the second bomb, in the toilet next to class 10.
The fire will slowly reach the bomb.
As soon as the first bomb explodes,
Hooda will come running from wherever he is.
But as soon as he gets here, very sorry.
The explosion in the class 10 toilet will shock him.
Johnson!
Yes, sir.
What happened Johnson?
Sit down.
So where was I?
What happened, Parth?
Something behind you?
No.
Even I noticed,
you often keep looking back.
Security. - Yes sir.
Listen to me carefully.
During recess, tell your entire team to focus
on the boy's toilet.
Yes, Sir.
I want to know which mischievous mind is setting off these bombs.
And do pay special attention to that Johnson George.
Yes. - Do you know who he is?
Yes, sir.
Hooda sir, when you go after someone,
you don't give up until they have learned their lesson.
This is not teaching a lesson, madam,
it's called maintenance of discipline.
Discipline.
Recess time.
Let's have lunch.
My lunchbox
My lunchbox?
Where is my lunchbox?
Someone stole my lunchbox as well.
It's definitely that fatso Johnson.
Aloo-Paratha.
Wow!
How long will we let him bully us?
He stole our lunchbox, we'll raid his bag.
Keep a watch on the door, and I will go check.
Aryan.
An explosion is necessary to wake up this deaf society, Heema.
Hooda insulted all of us in class yesterday,
even though we weren't at fault.
He should learn his lesson.
No...
Yeah...
Hey... is she your crush?
Tell us.
No need to be shy from us.
Why do you get so nervous when she's around?
Johnson, I don't like your idea.
I know. Nothing will seem right to you now.
Everyone needs to be in class.
Now!
Johnson Geoge.
Bring your bag here.
Now.
Your bag, I said.
Do I have to give it to you in writing?
Sir. It's my class.
Ma'am, there's an issue.
Give me five minutes. I will call you.
Did you hear what I said?
Move.
Come on. Don't you have a class after this?
Empty.
Students like you ought to have empty bags.
Ohh, surprise, surprise.
I see books in his bags.
Parth Negi.
With your bag.
Come on, hurry up.
Do you need it in writing?
You and your bag. Not you alone.
Come on, Parth, we don't have all day.
I won't steal your lunch.
You are pretty sharp with other things.
Unused books.
You two are true friends.
You Should return these books to the bookstore at the year's end.
You will get your refund.
Pack it in. Pick it up.
Pack them.
See, there was no bomb.
Sir...
Listen, you disgrace to students.
Who said I was looking for a bomb?
Sir... that's all you've been looking for since yesterday.
It was just a wild guess.
Wild guess?
Sir. - If you can make such wild guesses,
while answering questions,
maybe you can give the right answer someday in some class.
Back on your seat.
Hooda sir. - Yes.
Can I take my class now?
Of course, ma'am. I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Okay, students. Open your books.
Today we will continue with Mole Concept, right.
Hi, Jatin. - Hello, sir.
How are you?
Better, Mr. Negi - Thank you, doctor.
Thank you so much.
You performed a miracle, and my husband is cured.
Thank you so much, doctor.
I feel much better now.
Sir, this is the seventh critical patient,
to have recovered since morning.
Where are his scans?
Scans?
Yes, sir.
These are the reports.
Didn't he have internal hemorrhaging?
We'll be back, okay.
I will see you.
How did Jatin's internal hemorrhaging heal so quickly?
It's completely healed.
Sir, isn't it a miracle?
What changed in the air of Bheem Mukhteshwar, that patients are recovering...
Do you know what it means?
It means we are missing something.
Come on. - Sir.
Parth,
The bombs are missing from my bag.
I've no clue who took it.
I hope he doesn't blackmail us.
I won't blackmail you.
You took the bombs?
Yes.
But someone took it from my bag as well.
Something doesn't seem right.
Superb.
Heema. Heema.
Come on, Heema.
Do you know what your problem is?
You never speak up.
Do you like that cheerleader?
Shilpi.
And please stop staring at her.
Of course. Shilpi.
Do you like her?
Like her... I mean it's hard to describe...
I am not asking you to marry her.
Do you want her to be your friend?
Yes. - Yes.
So... to make friends you must like the person.
Heema's second shot.
Wow!
Heema.
Look, Parth.
You are very intelligent.
You are more mature than all of us.
No, I... - That's what you think,
but you're not.
Look, Parth.
You are one year behind Shilpi now.
Your brother hesitates to talk to you in school,
and well, I doubt if you get any respect at home.
And these...
These birds of the same feather flocking in class 10...
One of them will become Shilpi's friend.
And you will be out for good.
But yes, if you want Shilpi to be your friend,
be respected at home,
and be the older brother you really should be.
Then you must get promoted to class 10.
This year.
Good shot.
Superb. - Johnson.
Tell me how.
How this year?
Do you know Faizal Mirza?
No.
Faizal Mirza.
He's a man of miracles.
NCRT, CBSE, ICSE...
Any board, any class, any subject,
can get you re-evaluated and passed.
Guaranteed.
Amazing.
But I have a question, brother.
Why didn't you try to...
Johnson. Johnson. Johnson.
You have a heart of gold.
But full of mischief.
You know Steve Jobs,
Steven Spielberg,
Bill Gates and your dear Laffu have one thing in common.
What?
They are all geniuses...
Aren't they? - Obviously.
But they are all dropouts.
I see.
Do you want to be a dropout?
Good.
Because doesn't suit everyone to be a dropout.
By the way, Parth,
it's a good thing you decided to get promoted to class 10.
Faizal Mirza's fixed rate...
For two subjects, 10,000 only.
10 for you and 10 for you.
Total is...
Total is Rs. 20,000 - Good.
Get your papers re-evaluated,
get promoted to class 10,
and go conquer the world.
Okay, brother. We'll tell you.
Let me know, okay. - Yes.
Bro, Rs. 10000 is a big amount.
Yes.
But my father will never approve of it.
What father?
Don't tell anyone at home...
We just need to say we are getting the papers re-evaluated.
That's it.
Understood. That's it.
What happened?
Hey, jumping jack.
What's all this tossing and turning?
Walk straight.
Parth. Son.
Were you scared?
Of what?
Don't know, grandma.
Were you back in the exam hall again?
Look, Parth.
We are scared of something,
only until we don't understand it.
Like the Mole concept.
I am not scared of it anymore.
Nysa cleared my fundamentals.
Grandma,
what if we don't know what we are scared of?
Good question.
Intelligent.
And the answer lies in grandma's story.
Sweet...bandit.
And the answer was discovered by, a saint of Panchaal.
Three saints of Panchaal city,
performed tough meditation for years in the jungle.
'Winds, rain, summer, winter...'
'They didn't care for anything.'
'When several years passed,'
'one day a divine announcement was made,'
'that God is pleased with your Meditation.'
'Ask what you desire.'
'The saints asked God for Elixir.'
'The divine announcement ended after hearing their wishes,'
'immediately after that, there stood before them a fierce demon,'
'with burning red eyes'
'and a garland of skulls around his neck and a sword,'
'Looking at the saints he ran towards them.'
'Watching him approach,'
'two of the saints Got scared and started running in opposite direction.'
'The third saint was still busy meditating with his eyes closed.'
'He opened his eyes,'
'looked at the demon, controlled his fears,'
'and stood still seeing the demon approach him.'
'The demon came closer, stopped,'
'calmed down'
'and offered him the skull in his hands,' While doing so, he
'folded his hands and said,'
'Greetings, O saint.'
'God has sent this Elixir for you through me.'
'Saying this, the demon disappeared after handing over the elixir.'
Disappeared.
Disappeared. Right, grandma.
Right.
The other two saints were scared,
because they didn't know the truth about the demon.
That he was a messenger of God.
And the third saint tried to see and understand the truth,
without being scared.
And that's why he attained the elixir.
Something can scare us only until we don't understand it.
Once we understand it,
it's easier to face our fears.
If we face our fears without being afraid,
then we can conquer our fears.
Good morning. - Good morning.
Good morning Dad.
Good morning.
Kanta, bring Sir's tea. - Yes.
Everything okay in CRC, son?
No idea, mom.
I came to get changed and then back to CRC.
It's hectic.
Now?
Send someone to collect your lunchbox at night.
Eating at the canteen every day is not good.
I'll send some home food.
As you say, ma'am.
I will take papa's dinner at night.
Yes, you do that.
Okay.
He will be there.
Dr. Vineeta, I've been observing him for two days. Personally.
What we saw was just a twitch.
Yeah, yeah, I will keep you informed.
Don't worry, bye.
Ohh...
Your dinner. - Thanks, son.
Papa,
are you alright?
Yes, I am fine.
Are you alright?
Yes.
Be careful.
Bye. - Bye.
'Something can scare us only until we don't understand it.'
