GREAT OFFERS & DISCOUNTS 4 U IS WAITING HERE :


Paathshala tries to answer many questions related to the sanctity of today's education system.

The story begins with a new English teacher Rahul Prakash Udyavar (Shahid Kapoor) joining Swaraswati Vidya Mandir school, situated in the outskirts of Mumbai Suburbs.

Though he strikes an instant rapport with students and teachers alike, he realises that there is something amiss in the school. Slowly his doubts prove true as the School Manager- Sharma (Saurabh Shukla) makes many monetary obligations compulsory on the parents in the name of extracurricular activities.

He goes to the extent of punishing the students inhumanly when the new unjustified demands of the school are not fulfilled by the parents.

When Rahul Udyawar unifies the teachers (Ayesha Takia, Sushant Singh, Kurush Deboo) against the atrocities of school management, the Principal Aditya Sahay (Nana Patekar) defends the management decision. This comes as a shocker to the teachers as Mr Sahay is known for his dedication as an educationist for last 32 years which has built the school's high reputation.

The situation becomes grave as school management becomes overambitious with its growth and involves media planners in the extracurricular activities.

This demands the involvement of students in TV reality shows and many other media PR activities used for building up the school image in public, which starts reflecting on the students' stress levels.
The pressure on young minds increases incredibly leading to unexpected and grim consequences.
Caught in the web of commercialisation and internal rebellion, the school's situation becomes so explosive that it finally becomes a national issue.

Paathshaala challenges the increasing immoralities and unethical practices in our education system. It analyses intricately the relationship between students, teachers and the education system with sensitivity and sensibility... It reflects the true spirit of an education system.
