Breaking glass is a good omen.
I see, are you practicing astrology during a science class?
Brother?
Maybe there was an excess amount of moisture in the test tube.
That is why, when Sodium interacts with water, it creates an explosion.
The kid is making fun of you.
Hey four-eyes.
Are you trying to teach a senior?
-I was just... -Kid, a senior is like a father.
And a junior is his kid.
You don't try to teach your father.
Okay, Papaji.
Tell me, have you seen water flying around in the air?
I see... trick question.
Yes, I have.
The clouds up in the sky are filled with water.
Come with me. I will show you water flying around on Earth.
Brother, you were going to make water fly, not me.
Put me down. I said, put me down!
Brother, please let me go!
-Let me go. -Isn't that Rishi?
Let's get out of here.
Brother, I think this is too much now...
We haven't even started
and he thinks this is too much?
So brothers,
should we show him how water flies on the Earth?
Yeah, let's do it.
If you throw any more water at me, I will stab you with this pen.
This is not a knife, it's a pen.
No brother, that is the special pen that Dr. Raman gave me.
Please give it back.
Hey! What did you do?
Sorry brother, I didn't mean to...
Look, the pen was converted into pain.
Look at this guy.
He wanted to teach us.
Are we playing the silent game?
Tell me?
Did you take a vow of silence?
I can't talk because I have gutka in my mouth.
No, I wasn't talking to you...
Isn't Neerja madam coming today?
Because Mummy had some work back in school.
So... how about candy floss?
If you want, we can buy a sweet cigarette and walk around in style.
Sis, I don't want anything.
"And then an Arjun will rise to strike down the Kauravas."
Like the Ramanand Sagar directed Ramayana?
No Ritika, like the B.R. Chopra directed Mahabharata.
I am not talking about a TV serial!
I am telling you a poem, now listen carefully.
-Go ahead. -Who is that?
Shut up.
"And then an Arjun will rise to strike down the Kauravas.
He will defeat his enemies in war,
destroy all evil and raise the banner of truth and knowledge."
Amma, are you sure you wrote this poem?
What? You think I wrote Veer Ras' poems?
Why are you sitting like Meena Kumari?
Papa, I don't know who Meena Kumari is.
But grandma's poem has turned me into Sunny Deol.
What is wrong with him?
Who knows? Kids these days...
Back in my day, my dad would throw me out without any clothes.
He is right.
When you got a cold he would call you a singer.
And when you got a haircut he would call you a monk.
But look at kids these days.
Want to eat it?
What happened?
Did someone say something to you at school?
Isn't this the pen Dr. Raman gave you?
How did this break?
It didn't break. It was broken.
What?
Who broke it?
What could you do if I tell you?
If I had an older brother then he could have done something.
Rishi,
why are you talking nonsense?
I can deal with anyone, understand?
Tell me who broke it.
I told you,
it's pointless.
You won't tell me?
Eureka!
What was that?
Sis, it is time for another war like Mahabharata.
for throwing water on me
and breaking Dr. Raman's pen,
Rishi will get revenge for all of these misdeeds.
What?
Rishi, you should forget about Science
and think about writing dialogues.
These dialogues could be used in movies in the future.
Hey.
What are you going to do?
I am going to take an eye for an eye.
Tit for Tat.
Girls! Meet the little scientist.
He saw water fly yesterday.
Akshay is the best teacher.
Have you learnt how to respect seniors now?
Lesson number 2.
Kid, you don't touch anything
that belongs to a senior without asking him first.
Sorry!
Akshay? How could you hit my brother like that?
-Like that. -What the hell?
Sis, it is my fault.
I shouldn't have touched his cap without asking him.
-Rishi, how could he hit you... -Let's go Sis. Come on.
What are you doing, Rishi?
Rishi, this Akshay broke the pen Dr. Raman gave you didn't he?
Why didn't you let me say anything?
He hit you in front of everyone.
Tell me!
Sis, as grandma says,
"Another Arjun will rise to strike down the Kauravas."
I think he is taking grandma's poem a little too seriously.
Rishi! Ritika! Wake up.
Rishi, why did Principal ma'am summon you to her office?
She probably wants me to represent the school
in a competition like the Science Olympiad.
Bye, I will see you in class.
Ma'am. Rishi Awasthi 5 - B. May I come in?
Come in.
Rishi Awasthi, I did not expect this from you.
What happened, ma'am?
Look at this. This is what happened ma'am.
-Look ma'am, he is still laughing. -Rishi!
Behave yourself.
He stuck 4 whole chewing gums to my sons cap!
Trying to pull them didn't work,
so we had to cut them out.
He turned my handsome son into a hairless dog!
Even I agree with what uncle just said.
But ma'am, Akshay broke the pen Dr. Raman gave to Rishi.
-And in the bathroom... -Enough.
If Akshay did something to you
then you could have come to me to complain.
And Ritika, you were also involved in this?
You are a teacher but you can't even discipline your own children?
-Aunty but Akshay... -Enough Ritika.
On behalf of my children...
I would like to apologize.
Apologize?
Now we will have to put a bowl on his head and cut his hair.
What are you saying?
That is the only way to fix his hairstyle.
Papa please, not the bowl cut.
Son... just think of it as an army cut.
Ma'am, Akshay even hit Rishi on the head.
Enough!
This is not a fish market.
This kind of behaviour will not be accepted in our school.
Akshay,
this is your last warning.
And Rishi,
you will surely get detention now.
You will stay back after school for 5 days and write,
"I will never make this mistake again."
And you will write this a thousand times.
Ma'am, I am sorry but this is unfair.
You didn't even punish him ma'am.
Ritika, now you will also do the same punishment as Rishi.
Say something Mummy, please.
She is your Mummy at home.
She is your teacher here.
Principal ma'am is right.
I am sorry, ma'am.
Sorry.
"One roar from His mouth could shake the sky and the Earth.
All evildoers fear the flames of His anger reflected in his eyes.
Shiva will play His drums..."
Wait a minute, Amma.
Do the two of you feel any shame or have did you sell that too?
Mummy, you never take our side.
Forget taking our side, you won't even hear us out.
If there was something that happened to Rishi then you should have told me.
If someone does something bad to you
then will you do something bad to them?
Will you just sit here polishing your shoes
or will you say something?
No... You covered all the points.
Mummy is right.
If you bully a bully, that makes you a bully too.
Let it be. They are just kids.
Just kids?
It's not just about today Amma,
they do this all the time.
They embarass me all the time.
Everyone I meet seems to yell at me because of them.
And I can't even say anything because it is their fault.
Rishi, you
have started using your brain for mischief more than your studies.
-Mummy it's not his... -You shut up.
You don't have any qualities of an older sister.
This time I won't punish either of you.
Just do me a favour,
and don't try to talk to me.
We were punished in two ways today.
Physical torture in school
and emotional torture at home.
Tell them that their tiffin is in the kitchen.
Will we not be travelling by rickshaw anymore?
The two of you will travel by rickshaw.
Neerja said that from now on Sanju will drop her.
Grandma?
Do you know a poem that can help us make up with Mummy?
I will...
never make this...
mistake again.
Our fingers are working hard in our notebooks.
And Akshay's fingers
are playing on the Mandoline like a rockstar.
"I will never make this mistake again."
And then write, "Sorry, Akshay sir."
Brother, please don't bother me right now.
Akshay, you pranked him once and my brother pranked you once.
Now you are even.
He messed with the wrong guy.
-Let go. -Good afternoon ma'am.
-Good afternoon ma'am.
Lijjat papad, eat Lijjat papad and impress all your guests.
Raj, I am going to be the mother of your child!
Papa...
Papa, please tell Mummy to forgive us.
Neerja, the kids...
Do you want me to stop talking to you too?
No.
I just wanted to say
that I am going to stop talking to the kids too.
That will teach them.
I thought Papa would hit it out of the park.
Brother?
You need to stop this.
You brought this on yourself.
Akshay's bandana doesn't just hide his baldness
it also hides his self-esteem.
If you remove his bandana, his head would look lopsided.
Don't touch my hair.
Rishi Awasthi, the Principal wants to see you in her office.
-Why? -You will know why once you get there.
What happened? What did he say?
He was just irritating me.
He said, "The Principal wants to see you."
And I believed him like an idiot.
Listen.
If we do something to him then Mummy won't talk to us our whole lives.
Sis, I can't walk the path of non-violence here.
Okay fine.
Why don't you calm down and drink some water first.
Then we will go to the Principal to complain about him.
That will teach him? Rishi?
Rishi? What happened?
Mr. Scientist? Enjoying the taste of life?
What was that?
Urine. Made especially for you.
Sodium Chloride and Salt.
Rishi! Drink some water! Have some water!
Sis! I am going to the Principal's office.
Rishi wait! Rishi...
Rishi wait!
Now we will make this rascal cry in front of everyone.
And we will prove why we are called Rishi-ka.
Even the biggest wars can be solved by discussing it over a single table.
And I am pretty sure that this fight between a mother and her kids
can also be solved by discussing it at a table.
Probably.
Forgive them Neerja.
"Neerja, adults want forgiveness and kids want mischief,
why dwell on that which has already passed?"
The kids know that what they did was wrong.
Forgive them.
Can I tell you something?
Rishi just did what Sanju did as a child.
He emptied an entire tube of toothpaste
in one of his classmates pants!
And that boy was all sticky as he complained to me.
Lower your voice Amma,
if these mischievous kids hear you then they might just do it.
You look very cute trying to hide your laughter when you're angry.
Nothing.
Amma...
Please forgive them.
Rishi! Ritika! Mummy has forgiven you.
That guy made me drink his number one
so I will make him taste my number two.
Rishi, listen to me.
We will hit him in the place it hurts the most.
Main point?
No Rishi,
we need to deal with his arrogance.
We will do something
that will make him cry in front of people.
Yes Sis, you need an explosion to get a deaf person's attention.
But what will we do?
Let's think of something Rishi.
I am sure we can come up with something.
So you brought your sister with you this time?
Tell me, what can I do for both of you?
Akshay...
It is nice, isn't it?
It's very nice.
It looks like the scientist is going to play us a tune.
No...
He is going to hit a six with it.
Rishi don't mess around with my Mandoline.
He is not messing around with the Mandoline,
he is messing with you.
Rishi give my Mandoline back.
First you need to say sorry to my brother in front of everyone.
Why would I say sorry?
Rishi no, please!
Look Rishi.
Is he crying yet?
First you say sorry to my brother in front of everyone
and tell them what you did to him.
What did he do?
I didn't do anything.
Please, please stop! I will say it!
I took him to the bathroom with my friends and threw water on him.
What?
Really Akshay?
This was not expected from you.
And what else did he do?
I even broke his special pen.
Please give my Mandoline back.
What is this Akshay? Are you bullying a little child?
That is not all.
There is one more thing.
Say it.
Do you care about your Mandoline?
In his bottle...
I didn't do anything.
Liar! Say it.
-No. No. -Say it.
Say it.
If I tell Principal Ma'am then
you will get a suspension this time instead of a detention!
If we tell Principal ma'am everything then you will get a TC.
Go.
Go tell Principal Ma'am.
Let's go, Rishi.
Akshay, you're pathetic.
Doesn't the ice-cream taste amazing today?
It's the taste of revenge, Rishi.
Of course it's tasty.
Ritika! Rishi! Come here.
Mummy is talking to us again,
and we got back at him.
So... let's go?
-Yes mummy? -Yes mummy?
How was your day today?
It was great!
-Are you satisfied? -Ye...
No.
What do you mean?
I mean, what did you guys do today?
Mummy, please just hear us out...
You broke his Mandoline, didn't you?
Did you or did you not?
Yes.
Neerja!
That is wrong, Neerja!
They said sorry yesterday
and today they broke his Mandoline.
That boy's parents will come to the school tomorrow
to complain and I will have to apologize.
I have to be humiliated every time these to cause some trouble.
He won't go to the Principal!
And you can't slap Rishi like that without hearing us out.
Ritika, is that how you talk to your mother?
Papa, he made Rishi...
What?
drink his pee.
What?
Now you tell us, what should we have done?
That is why we made him confess in front of everyone
that he is just a big bully.
And then we broke his Mandoline.
Rishi...
Mummy, aren't you the one who says
we shouldn't suffer anyone's bullying.
Child,
if he did that much to you then why didn't you tell us anything?
We wanted to tell you Papa.
But nobody was willing to listen.
Mummy?
Are you still angry at us?
No.
I am not angry.
I am just sad.
I didn't hear you guys out even once.
I just assumed it was your fault.
I am sorry.
I am so sorry.
What Akshay did was wrong.
But what you guys did to him was also wrong wasn't it?
He took revenge.
Then you took revenge.
This cycle of revenge would never end my child.
To fight against evil,
you don't need to become evil.
"And then an Arjun will rise
he will never kneel in front of his enemies.
He will bravely fight against all evil.
He will bring victory to righteouness throughout the lands.
Another Arjun will rise
to strike down the Kauravas."
Amma's poem is finally over.
You bullied Rishi Awasthi.
No ma'am.
Should I call those girls
who you confessed in front of to bullying Rishi?
You are suspended for a month.
Leave.
Sis, it was so much fun to get back at Akshay.
And the poor guy even got suspended by the Principal.
Cherry on the cake.
Tit for Tat.
But Rishi,
I can't stop thinking about what Mummy said.
So you think
Mummy was right and we were wrong?
Look, it was a lot of fun.
But...
we became bullies just like Akshay didn't we?
Sis, now you're making me feel guilty.
Okay fine. Don't overthink it.
But we should keep it in mind.
By the way Rishi, I fixed the pen Dr. Raman gave you.
Happy?
Very happy.
