"Until the work is done, it seems impossible."
Kota.
This city is renowned in the field of education
in India as well as the world.
And Maheshwari Classes has been carrying the banner of success
on this path to victory since its inception.
Within a span of 30 years,
Maheshwari Classes has embarked upon a mission
that envisions the whole world of education
through its services from eighth grade till university.
In this pursuit, Maheshwari Classes has to give credit to its team,
teaching methodology and student-centric approach.
We are now catering to the need of the students throughout their academic cycle
till they step into the professional life.
A complete educational hub.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
We started out in a small classroom.
We share the credit of our success with our students.
Gyan Mittal, All India Rank 1, JEE Advanced, has something to tell us.
All the credit for my success goes to Maheshwari Classes.
They offer the best coaching for IIT JEE.
They have the best results every year.
Not only in JEE, but also in MAINS, Olympiad, KVPY, NTSE and other exams.
Maheshwari Classes. We will make a change together.
Kota.
This city is renowned in the field of education
in India as well as the world.
And Maheshwari Classes has been carrying the banner of success
on this path to victory since its inception.
Within a span of 30 years Maheshwari Classes has embarked--
We weren't ignorant, sir.
I had ensured that he was enrolled in a coaching institute in April!
But that was in Itarsi. Local.
Vaibhav was doing a great job there as well.
He was among the top three!
But the All India test series that happened in November,
opened our eyes.
Sir, Vaibhav's friend Piyush is your student.
He was not as smart as Vaibhav in school.
You can ask him.
He fared better than Vaibhav in the test.
Sir...
Vaibhav is a very hardworking student.
He even studies a lot as well.
But Itarsi lacks the facilities that children get in Kota.
All we have is one small institute.
"Success" and "Ace" are small.
Goel Classes has 400 students this year.
Yes, sir.
Vaibhav was attending Goel Classes.
-He was attending Goel? -Yes.
He must be pretty weak in chemistry.
He won't be able to catch up.
No, sir. The boy is smart.
He scored 90 percent in high school.
Trust me, sir. He will do it.
No, he won't.
More than seven lakh students score 90 percent in tenth grade every year.
More than two lakh students in CBSE itself.
And how many seats do we have in IIT?
5273.
Even if just the students scoring more than 90 percent take the test for IIT,
unfortunately, 99 percent of them...
won't make it.
Sir, this is a letter from the minister.
He had called me.
That's the reason I am refusing you in person.
Look, I won't make tall promises...
but it would be beneficial to Vaibhav...
to join us when the batches for the 12th grade start in April.
With the other students.
Thank you for coming.
...teaching methodology and student-centric approach.
We are now catering to the need of the students throughout their academic cycle.
till they step into the professional life.
Did you talk to Piyush?
We should have gotten you enrolled back then.
You could've been together.
Anyway, we'll try getting you in some other institute.
But it is the number one these days.
Just take us to Talwandi!
Smartass!
Where in Talwandi? "Prodigy"?
How long have you been in Kota, brother?
Son, I've been in Kota since the time it used to be a city...
and not a factory.
Back then coaching classes did not have any uniforms...
and this hostile environment...
was confined to a small locality of Vigyan Nagar.
What an apt name! Right, sir?
Yeah, I know. It had some institute. Agarwal Classes.
Some?
There was a time when Mr. Agarwal used to rule, sir.
There might be many dons today, but he is the true godfather.
He was the one who established this Jurassic park.
His name might not be Corleone...
but he truly is the godfather.
He is known as the Stephen Hawkins of Kota.
Not Hawkins. Hawking.
-What? -Hawking. King.
Of course! He is the king.
His children did not make it to IIT...
but he has got thousands of others through.
He couldn't walk himself but has helped thousands run their household.
Sir, because of him, every other house in the city
is accepting paying guests
and there is a mess at every corner.
And that's a must.
Every year more than two lakh students come here.
Toss a stone blindly in this neighborhood and it'll probably hit a student.
Hey! That's just and idiom!
This is not a city, sir.
It's a giant hostel.
Here the battle isn't whether an institute could get the solution.
The battle is, which institute did it first.
Everyone here is crazy, sir.
Everybody asks you the same questions...
"which institute charged fees from the topper,
which institute really educated him...
and which one simply bought his rank?"
"Which teacher was poached by which institute?
Which faculty quit an institute to start on his own institute?
And who in turn is quitting his institute?"
Stop slacking off!
Focus on your driving, brother.
This city is a real-life version of Bigg Boss.
-Do you watch Bigg Boss? -Yes, I do.
No one here does.
This is the only city in India...
where Nokia is dominating Samsung.
If I might add, sir...
every student who comes here might not be selected...
but a student who isn't selected despite coming here...
was never meant to be selected.
Get your work done. I'll wait.
Yes.
It's done.
Sure?
We will get it done, sir.
Be confident.
My brother-in-law started this institute in a tiny room.
Look where we are!
That's impressive, but will he be able to manage it on his own?
Why not?
He scored 90 percent in high school!
That is not a joke.
The boy is smart.
But I've been told IIT has just 5273 seats.
But you just need one, right?
Vaibhav...
just because he is willing to enroll you
doesn't necessarily mean that you have to accept.
You could stay at home and prepare this year.
And we could get you into Maheshwari for the 12th grade.
Dad, even if I have to go to Maheshwari for the 12th grade...
let me stay in Kota.
I can't study at home.
Enroll him and hand him the material.
Which batch?
IIT JEE A10.
A10?
-How many batches do you have? -Just ten, sir.
We don't have too many batches.
We focus on the quality and not the quantity!
Dad, Piyush told me that lower batches don't get any attention.
Says who?
-We look after them, right? -We do, sir.
-I was in A7 myself! -He was in A7.
Sir, please charge me for the whole year if necessary,
-but please ensure he gets a better batch. -Yes, sir, please.
Sir, we will be charging you for two complete years anyway.
But he will stay in batch A10.
That's my brother-in-law's policy.
But these batches aren't permanent.
We'll have reshuffling tests after two months.
And you're gonna ace it!
That's it.
Batch changed.
This is your material. Uniforms are out of stock.
You'll get it tomorrow.
There are three schools.
You can pick one.
Which school is better?
What does it matter? He doesn't have to go to school.
We have a tie-up with these three schools.
Okay. I'll go and put this away.
Hello.
Yes, Piyush?
Yes.
You're finally getting the time to call me.
It's me! Vaibhav!
Yes.
This is my number for Kota.
Save it.
Yes.
Today.
No, not in Maheshwari.
Prodigy.
Why are you thanking God?
Are you crazy?
It's great that you have many classes every day at Maheshwari.
Yes.
The landlady is really sweet.
She is very nice.
She told me I'm like her son Bunty.
Yes.
Yeah, enough of this small talk!
Let's meet.
I won't be able to come to Vigyan Nagar once I start my classes.
Shall I come?
Okay.
Tomorrow?
Okay. Let me know if you don't have extra classes tomorrow. We'll meet.
Hello?
May I come in?
I am Meena.
Prodigy.
A5.
-You've seen the storeroom downstairs? -Yes.
That's my room.
Okay.
You left the purifier on downstairs. What--
Yeah. There was no water in it.
So, I guess, it must've been a mistake. Sorry.
Remove the plug after you use it. Auntie gets really upset.
Is she strict?
She was really sweet to me this morning.
Everyone's sweet when your parents are around.
But the show their true colors once our parents leave.
I have a two-way socket. You can have it.
Socket. Why?
When you get a roommate, you guys will fight every night for a charging point.
-There's just one plug. -No, I will stay here by myself.
-All alone? -Yes.
That must be expensive!
Why didn't you go to Maheshwari if you have the resources?
It is not that easy to get into Maheshwari.
Really?
I was selected.
-In Maheshwari? -Yes.
Why--
The fee here is far lower and they teach in Hindi as well.
Also, we have Jeetu Bhaiya.
Jeetu Bhaiya?
You don't know Jeetu Bhaiya?
What route did you take? His hoardings are all over the place.
He is the best physics teacher in Kota and third best on Unacademy.
Unacademy?
It is India's largest education ape.
Ape?
You don't know what's an ape either?
How can you possibly make it to IIT?
You know the tiny boxes in mobiles. If you send something--
App?
Yes. Ape.
Jeetu Bhaiya has uploaded the entire syllabus of JEE on it.
You can study anytime you wish.
The teachers us it as well!
Frankly, it's just that Jeetu Bhaiya isn't contesting the elections.
He would easily be the best candidate.
So, you are a Jeetu Bhaiya fan?
Absolutely.
That man deserves fans.
He solves International Physics Olympiad papers with a timer on!
The best physics teachers in India ask him to review their books.
His salary is more than ten to the power of seven.
And yet he is cheerful...
affable...
and lighthearted.
-May I? -Please...
Have you studied DPP?
Just a minute.
There was no water in the purifier.
What did you drink?
This is Mr. Uday's room.
He is from Udaipur but he has told auntie that he is from Patna.
Why?
I have no clue.
Didn't you ask?
Why would I ask? It's not a part of my syllabus.
One says, the other buys. Lord says both are wise.
Feel free to use this to keep fruits, veggies, yogurt, water, anything.
He has declared this fridge free for public use.
Where is Mr. Uday?
You'll mostly find him at Laxmi PG, with Ms. Shivangi.
She's a nice lady.
She's Mr. Uday's friend but has more affection for me.
Mr. Uday studies with her all day long.
He studies so much he doesn't even attend classes.
I hope I can reach his level!
Hey, Meena!
You were in there?
You can call your mother a "lady".
I am a girl.
Hi.
Hi. I'm--
Vaibhav. You're from Itarsi. You've joined Prodigy.
You are like a son to auntie, right?
You can hear what happens in the corridor in here.
What happens here is audible downstairs as well.
I am Shivangi.
I'm Uday's girlfriend but auntie thinks I am his cousin.
The fridge might be public, I'm not.
So, come, fetch your water and leave.
There is no need for small talk
unless you have doubts in physics and chemistry.
And only if Meena is unable to help you!
Doubt solving expert!
The standard rate is two puff pastries for 30 minutes
and three for an hour.
Just physics and chemistry?
You must be weak at math.
I was the strongest at math. Biology is the bloody problem!
But I am pursuing medicine because my dad is an IITian.
Your dad is an IITian?
Dads are IITians as well?
That's great!
And he wants you to get into medicine.
There should be variety in the family.
Correct!
-An IITian is always right! -Variety, my foot!
Dad is an IITian. He knows the truth about IIT.
He can't let his only daughter be with lusting engineers,
who are brimming with testosterone.
He won't be able to endure the meiosis.
I'm wearing your shorts. I hope that's alright.
I'm doing my laundry.
It is okay. I'll wear yours someday.
Actually, they will suit you.
Let's go.
The mess starts at 7:30 p.m. Go and eat as early as you can.
People will finish the cheese and you'll be left with the curry.
Let's go together.
No, no. I am fasting. I have to sleep early.
I have classes at 6:00 a.m.
I'll have poha and jalebi in the morning.
Class?
At 6:00 a.m.?
My timetable--
Jeetu Bhaiya runs faster than the time-table.
You'll have these soon.
-Which batch were you allotted? -A10.
And you accepted it?
A10?
Yeah.
Mr. Deepak said it won't be a problem.
Why?
What's wrong with A10?
Wrong?
Sir, let's forget about JEE advance.
They don't take preparations MAINS exams seriously either.
No extra classes. No doubt session. No DPP.
These classes are a waste of time!
Who has given you these grand insights?
Look, you've joined in very late!
We enrolled you anyway.
Now you feel the batch is wrong. I'll change the batch.
That is not the case!
It's your first day. Be positive.
Just start studying. The batch makes no difference.
Sir, transfer me if it makes no difference.
Any other batch!
And sir, if I am worthy of A10...
I'll end up in A10 after the reshuffling.
No! No! Not possible!
It's a rule.
We don't give special treatment to anyone in Prodigy Classes.
Be it a student or faculty.
-But sir, A10-- -Hello, Mr. Jeetu!
How are you, sir?
-How are you? -Good, sir. Please sit.
Brother-in-law was missing you yesterday.
He said, "Jeetu never comes over."
He had called you.
Sister prepared baked chickpea fluffs.
That's precisely why I didn't come over.
Your sister is a very bad cook.
It's awkward to lie to her.
This is absolute truth, Deepak.
This indeed is true.
You go to your class, son.
This is the entrance test paper for the physics faculty.
You asked for it.
That's wonderful, sir! Wonderful!
The paper is very good, sir.
Clear my payment, sir.
Payment?
For all the extra classes I had taken last month?
I had sent you a message.
They haven't done it?
I'll handle it, sir.
Yes, it's up to you. If I don't get paid by Friday,
I'll just switch off my phone
-and leave! -Sir!
There are 58 countries that offer visa on arrival.
I could be in any one of them
Keep looking
Take me with you, sir!
If you leave because of me, brother-in-law will kill me anyway.
Brother-in-law won't let you leave.
He wants to start Prodigy International School,
Engineering College and Universities.
And he will need someone there to deduct salaries, right?
-Sir. -Give him my regards.
-Sir. -Yes.
-Yes? -Sir, I need to talk to you.
Stop bothering him! Sir, don't worry about it!
Just a second, Deepak. Yes?
Sir, my name is Vaibhav Pandey.
I enrolled in the 11th grade batch yesterday.
Sir, he was late! And now he wants a batch upgrade.
No, sir. That's not the whole story.
-Listen! Vaibhav Pandey? -Yes, sir.
Do you enjoy begging?
What?
First of all, stop begging.
If you want something, work hard...
and snatch it.
The batch you have now is your truth.
We'll have a test in two months.
Ace it! Get an upgrade!
But, sir, batches have been allotted based on entrance exams.
I didn't that opportunity! That is the truth as well.
Sir, I definitely deserve a better batch!
Why later? Give me a test now. I'll ace it right now!
Ask me, sir.
Okay.
Here are fifty questions.
Tomorrow's the due date.
Solve these.
The batch you earn after this will be final.
What happened?
Why are you getting involved, sir?
-He'll waste your time! -Thank you, sir.
Sir, every kid will walk in demanding a reshuffle!
How many kids will you test?
Not everybody demands, sir.
He did.
Let's wait and watch.
Don't forget the payment.
Yes. Your payment will...
I can't understand anything, buddy.
But you've finished all the puff pastries!
And now you are saying that you can't understand anything.
I thought I'll be able to do it after I saw the diagram.
This is a stupid question!
"How hard must one blow into the bubble-maker
to ensure a bubble stays stable?"
This hasn't been taught.
You really can't do it, bro?
God!
Piyush isn't answering my call either.
What should I do? I am trapped.
Ms. Shivangi has left as well.
Why did you agree to this paper if you hadn't studied mechanics?
I wanted to be a hero!
I haven't solved three questions in the past four hours.
And I will be humiliated if I take this with me.
Let's go.
Where?
I have eaten the puff pastries.
The questions will be solved!
I'll do it or I'll get it done!
Come.
-May I come in? -Upstairs.
This way.
I have to prepare for my own exams and I don't have the time.
What are you studying for?
Reshuffling!
-You have two months. -Exactly!
I just have two bloody months!
I am in 11th grade as well.
This hasn't been taught yet.
I can help you with anything else!
They taught this in the 11th grade.
But I forgot everything.
I can help you with anything else!
No sorrow, no cannabis or your rum
My world is made up of friends...
The first is B. The second is A. The third is C.
That was quick, bro!
Please write the solution as well, brother. Please.
-You said Mr. Jeetu has set this paper. -Yes.
This is too easy.
Don't waste my time.
I had told you, right?
These A1 chaps are really selfish.
This is too easy?
No sorrow, no cannabis or your rum
My world is made up of friends
I had read it in books, Now it is written on the walls
My world is made up of friends
Sure, bro.
Show me.
Which question do you want me to solve?
No!
Just show me the questions.
Not the options.
It's just that every question has a journey...
which we must take ourselves...
without a map.
Brother, solve the third one.
I have wasted two years trying to help!
I won't make the same mistake again!
It's just one question. It will take ten minutes.
If I use ten minutes to solve ten questions every day for others...
I'll end up wasting a month trying to help others!
It's a do or die situation for me.
Please let me "do"!
Please leave. Go!
There are four close buddies
Check it. The answer is eight.
But all the options are sin theta and cos theta.
No worries!
Give me another question.
Yes, this seems familiar.
I think I can solve it.
Do it, buddy.
I've been cramming for the past two days.
If I don't speak to my girl today, she'll break up with me.
Please understand.
Really, babe?
Is that what he said?
What happened?
Come back tomorrow.
I'll solve it.
Meet me in the evening.
Yeah! Got it!
Root 3/4. Check it.
The three options are in the form of a graph.
My world is made up of friends
And what about the fourth?
None of the above.
That must be it.
See! I solved it, right?
Your girlfriend betrayed you, right?
It happens.
No.
I've never had a girlfriend.
Your parents must be getting divorced!
Right?
No?
You're gay!
Wow, bro! You are gay!
My first gay friend.
What nonsense?
Why are you sad?
Why would a fragile and helpless boy like you...
leave his home, school and everything else mid-semester to come to Kota?
Why?
You are not a genius.
That's obvious.
Meena, he isn't saying it, but this guy has a dark past.
Mr. Uday!
Why are you hazing him right now?
We can't solve a single question.
Please talk only if you can help us with mechanics.
If not, please maintain silence.
I don't know about mechanics but the answer to the third one is C.
That's just conjecture!
I am not guessing. I have seen this question.
Yes, it does seem familiar.
But I can't remember how it is done.
It's okay. If I get some guidance...
We just got ourselves embarrassed!
You want to go back?
I thought people come to Kota and become geniuses.
Jackasses!
Idea!
Kids, we will solve a tricky question today.
And if you don't use the trick to solve question,
it will be difficult for you to solve this question.
As you can see,
a block and spring system has been used here.
-Here the back block is projected-- -This is the one.
towards front block with velocity V0.
The spring with it's natural ability--
Go a little forward. A little more.
Now here we have to--
You have to solve this with the center of mass theorem.
-If you solve this with center of mass... -Yes, this is the answer.
We were fooled by the use of language in the question.
We considered the frame of reference of the ground.
But we should've considered the center of mass.
You see, Meena!
I'm not like you.
You forget.
My lectures can be revised anywhere and at any time.
Yes. Alright.
What?
If one problem is from Resnick Halliday...
the others can be from some book or the other as well.
Don't start reading the text. Check the diagram!
Read the text only if the diagram seems useful!
You'll save time.
I found the bubble problem!
-Surface tension equated with-- -Hey!
Read it later. Just copy the answers.
This is the one.
-Here... -If an object...
We need more books.
What are you doing?
These are bad times.
We are sneaking out to study!
God save us from IIT.
What good is a life with no friends?
-Shot! Shoot him! -Kill him!
Kill him. Kill him, bro!
He's hiding behind the bushes.
-Revive me. -I am out of bullets.
-How do I come? -They shot me!
How can I come?
My world is made up of friends
It is made up of your love And your worship
My world is made up of friends
I have met several thousand but I have only four close buddies
This is everyone's path This is everyone's call
What good is a life with no friends?
Don't get lost Don't get separated
Don't get lost again...
Take them!
Take them all!
These books are useless!
The girl I wanted to get into IIT for...
has eloped with a commerce student.
We just need the solution.
Old edition?
This will do. It's fine.
Okay! Bye, bro.
No sorrow, no cannabis or your rum
My world is made up of friends
I had read it in books, Now it is written on the walls
My world is made up of friends
Come on!
You have the keys!
Yeah, sorry.
Come on. Get in.
I had read it in books, Now it is written on the walls
My world is made up of friends
That's enough!
You've done enough to get a batch better than A10.
I've copied the answers!
Let me solve a few of them.
Hey!
Don't tell Jeetu Bhaiya that you've copied the answers.
You'll ruin all the hard work that we have put in.
I am going to bed!
When will you go to bed?
I'm done. Give me a few minutes.
Good luck, man.
Yes, bro. Thank you.
-Bye. -Yes.
You solved all these?
Yes, sir.
It took me all night.
How did you do this one?
The third one?
Sir, Instead of the ground we had to use...
center of mass as the frame of reference.
Once I cracked that, it was easy.
Correct.
This one?
Sir, the first part was really easy.
In the second part, the movement of inertia had been changed.
Once I got that...
This one?
Well, one had to blow air into a bubble.
-The surface tension-- -You must have doubled it.
-Yes, sir. -Then you must have equated it.
Yes, sir.
It's correct.
-Your method is correct. -Thank you, sir.
But the answer is wrong.
Classic calculation mistake.
Coincidentally, the same mistake has been repeated in Mr. Sharma's book.
In the old edition.
Page number 98, problem number 17.
I have mailed him.
He will correct it in the next edition.
Do you know why you couldn't solve the other eight questions?
Yes?
Because those eight questions were framed by me.
The solutions for the other questions are available in most books.
You have solved them.
You couldn't have done this by yourself in one night.
Who helped you?
Who was it?
I'm asking you for the last time. Did you solve these?
No, sir.
I had just solved NCERT.
Didn't you know this yesterday?
You were acting like Kejriwal yesterday.
Give me one opportunity, sir. Give me a chance. I will do it.
What happened?
Sorry, sir.
Do you know for whom quota, coaching, material...
DPP, sheets and ready reckoner are designed for?
-For the students. -For the top-ranking students!
But we are not!
All we can do is copy!
What do we do?
We pay!
You pay for the facilities that top-ranking students get!
And you pay for my foreign trips!
Guys like you come to Kota.
You play Pokémon in 9th grade, PUBG in 10th grade,
and Kota in 11th grade.
Why?
So that my father can tell our neighbor
that my son is studying for IIT and NEET in Kota.
It's cool! It's a trend!
You read the ads in newspapers and see the hoardings
that state "100 percent selection guaranteed".
We claim the same.
"100 percent selection guaranteed".
People like you see it and join us!
There is no guarantee.
I am not reprimanding you. I am opening your eyes. Sit.
Sit.
You came to Kota, right?
Why?
To study, sir.
You could have studied at home.
What will Kota do?
Think about it. This will take time.
Kota provides an environment.
There are students everywhere...
there is competition...
and focus.
So, we ought to get selected.
And what if you don't?
It doesn't matter.
One has to study for the 12th grade anyway, sir.
I'll study here.
There is no loss, sir.
There is! There's a huge loss!
This is what people don't get!
Children leave Kota in two years,
but Kota doesn't leave the children for years.
What does Kota do?
It isolates you from the world.
It doesn't matter which government crashed,
who got married to whom and who won the IPL.
None of it matters in life.
Parents, siblings, friends, relatives, you leave everything behind!
And you are left here alone.
What's left? IIT.
You keep harping about IIT over here.
When you desire something so much at your tender age,
there are only two outcomes.
If you get in then you have peace. You're relaxed.
And if you don't get it, all you have is jealousy, rancor and self-doubt.
A kid loses his confidence, brother.
He deems himself a bigger loser than the world does.
And you might get into a great college...
you don't like it because it is not IIT.
Seven years!
Four years of graduation and three years of working.
It takes seven years to come out of this trauma.
Do you know the punishment for fraud in India?
Seven years.
So stop deceiving yourself!
This is not your school where you impress someone to get more marks.
Here you and I have to get together to help you get selected.
This is now how you do it.
By copying and cramming.
The movies are wrong...
when they show that people who cram get selected.
Chaturs never get into IIT.
Only Ranchos do.
You have watched 3 Idiots, right?
Don't be afraid of the batch.
This is your truth.
Accept it.
Yes, sir.
But it is also true...
that you devoured the entire Mechanics syllabus in one night.
You certainly are a fighter.
And that is all a teacher wants.
You're lagging behind because you've joined in late.
