Kota Factory (2019) s02e01 Episode Script

Reasoning

-Shall we go?
-Just give me a minute.
Ain't I looking like a good boy?
Brother Raman says that
Mr. Maheshwari is very strict.
That's why I dressed up neatly.
Am I looking nice?
Awesome.
Hello, Mom.
You're awake.
Yes, it's been a while.
I took a shower as well.
Really?
Today is the orientation.
I was just leaving with Meena.
But Meena is still in Prodigy, right?
Not that one.
I've found another one now.
Fair Meena.
He's an original copy of the first one.
But there's one good thing about him.
What?
He's not as smart as I am.
Anyway, I'll call you
tonight when I am free.
-Okay, son.
-Bye, Mom.
Don't mind it, bro. I was just kidding.
I will do the same as well.
Okay, fine.
Today is going to be a hectic day.
We have an orientation,
followed by classes and lunch.
Then we must
collect books from my brother.
Jeetu Bhaiya.
I am talking about Brother Raman.
He's got all the books.
Is he a famous teacher?
He is not just famous but the best.
And he is not a "sir". Call him Bhaiya.
Others teach subjects…
but he makes you feel it.
You've got a crush on him.
Yeah, but it's one-sided.
Let's go. Or we won't get
any seats at the orientation.
Look at him!
Welcome to Maheshwari Classes.
Since it's your first day…
so take a good look at
the students sitting next to you.
Don't think about it.
Take a look at the faces of
all the students sitting around you.
What is he saying?
Quiet.
More than 1.1 million
students appeared for JEE this year.
And the number of
general seats in IIT is 4886.
-Success rate…
-.442 percent.
Last year, 1,00,000 kids came
to study at Maheshwari classes.
And 1713 were selected.
-Success rate…
-1.69 percent.
There's no need to rejoice.
Point number one…
remember the faces around you.
Your biggest and
most serious competition is around you.
You are in class 12 now and
you'll appear for JEE next year.
You've only one year now.
This year, JEE will
be conducted on 27th May
and results will be declared on 6th June.
Remember these faces.
They will be all-India toppers.
And when we'll felicitate
them on 8th June,
then these students will be sitting
on these reserved seats in the front.
Why is it important for you to know
that these students will be
sitting in these reserved seats?
Before coming here,
many of you were your
school toppers, tuition class stars
and the brightest student
in your neighborhood.
Many of you think they
know what they have to do.
Some might even believe that they are
smarter than Maheshwari Classes' faculty,
our system, reading
materials, and counselors.
Actually, such students exist.
But none of you are like them.
Not even a single one.
I can say this because I know
next year's toppers as well.
We know which city they are in and
which Olympiad they are preparing for.
And I can say this because
you joined here in class 12.
Already a year late.
And toppers never start late.
A repeater has never
topped in 53-years of IIT's history.
Except in 2002.
So, none of you are toppers.
None of you will be sitting
on these reserved seats.
You don't have a year.
You're one year late.
So, you will just follow
the rules of the institution.
This is the first and yet
the most crucial battle of your life
and you cannot afford complacency.
Where will you make it in life,
how grand your home's going to be,
how beautiful your wife will be,
will your children visit Europe
or their grandparents for vacation,
will you drive an SUV, sedan, or
hatchback, will be decided by this exam.
This is your chance to be somebody.
You might be talented…
but this world is swarming
with unsuccessful men with talent.
Unrewarded geniuses
are not geniuses, but clichés.
And I strongly believe… that there
are only successful men in this world.
Unsuccessful… are not men.
Last point.
Listen to our lectures,
attend our doubt classes
read our study material
and attempt the test papers.
If you quietly follow our instructions
and guidelines, then you may be rejected.
If you don't follow our instructions…
you will be rejected.
Welcome again to Maheshwari Classes.
Everyone, stand up for the oath.
Repeat after me.
-I swear…
-I swear…
I'll never take my eyes off my goal.
I'll never take my eyes off my goal.
I will always respect…
I will always respect…
my parents and my teachers.
my parents and my teachers.
And by being successful…
And by being successful…
make my family proud.
make my family proud.
-I belong…
-I belong…
to the most prestigious
to the most prestigious
educational and life
coaching institute of India.
educational and life
coaching institute of India.
-I will always be…
-I will always be…
-proud to be…
-proud to be…
a student of Maheshwari Classes.
a student of Maheshwari Classes.
Show me what you wrote.
Sir will scold me.
As you can clearly see…
What did he say his name was?
He didn't mention it.
Sir, it's been a week
since the sessions started.
But not a single Physics
class has been conducted.
You sent some other teacher
instead of the Physics class.
You hardly attend class yourself.
And now you complain.
Sir, please. Please take him off the
roster and bring Jeetu Bhaiya back.
-Yes, sir.
-Please.
Who is Jeetu?
We made him who he is.
We promoted him. We did his PR.
We spread the word
that he's the best teacher.
And we did it for the students.
So that the students can
concentrate on their studies.
But it doesn't really matter.
Teachers are all the same.
Even this teacher is the best.
Start attending the class first.
What is all this, sir?
This is an important year for
us and you changed our main teacher.
How can we cope like this, sir?
It will ruin our entire rhythm.
My dear Meenal… this is not in my hand.
It's the management's decision.
But you are the management.
-Call Bhaiya back.
-Yes, sir.
Please, sir.
Jeetu Bhaiya…
-Jeetendra Kumar is no more…
-What?!
with Prodigy Classes.
-What?
-Sir?
And don't let this news out.
How do I explain to you guys
how low a man can stoop?
Jeetu must be a good teacher…
but he's not a good man.
Being an IITian doesn't
make you a good guy.
Success had gone to his head.
And he even stole a
mirror from our institute.
You have no idea what
all he did in his home.
He boozed, consumed
weed and alcohol all night.
Ladies were spotted coming
out of his house in the morning.
Every day.
Sometimes even the students--
Enough, sir. Don't misuse your post.
You know nothing about that person.
Jeetu Bhaiya's name
alone speaks of credibility.
But you'll never understand.
It's beyond your domain.
Don't say a word against
that person or else…
Meena!
Meenal, please explain to him.
Balmukund.
He got it.
What?
How low people can get!
What was he saying?
I will break his jaw.
He doesn't know who he's messing with!
If I lose my mind, I'll tell papa
to conduct an income-tax raid on him.
He is talking utter nonsense!
Yes, you've said this before.
So what if I don't class?
Don't I have a right
to ask about the teachers?
Didn't I pay their fee?
The one we joined
the class for, has left.
Please don't mind, Vartika…
but I feel you're bad luck for us.
Whoever you set your eyes on, leaves us.
Stop talking nonsense, Uday!
Call Jeetu Bhaiya.
I tried calling him but
his phone was switched off.
He must have switched off his phone
as everyone might be trying to reach him.
Wait a second.
Try calling on this number.
This is Jeetu Bhaiya's personal number.
This will connect.
Jeetu Bhaiya gave you his personal number?
But you don't even have a phone.
Call him first.
-Yes.
-Right!
Hello.
Hello, auntie.
Sushrut must be in his room.
Really?
Yes, he was supposed to collect
books from Brother Raman.
So that's where he must be.
Was he crying?
Why?
When?
Okay…
It's okay. I will talk to him. You…
I will talk to him.
No, I will…
You want me to talk to him now.
Okay.
No, I'll check on him right now.
Don't worry.
No, auntie.
He won't do anything absurd.
I am on the stairs right now.
I am going.
I'll make him talk to you.
Don't worry auntie, he'll be fine.
Susu…
I am knocking on the door, auntie,
but he isn't opening the door.
Susu!
What do I do?
Break it down?
Okay. Susu!
Susu!
Susu.
Susu.
He's still alive.
Talk to him, auntie.
Hello. Why are you
calling me continuously?
How will I study?
Is this how we do IIT?
Why weren't you answering your phone?
Do you know how worried
your mother was?
What happened?
Nothing.
Then why are you crying?
I am not crying.
Am I crying?
What happened?
Did something happen in class?
Then?
Susu.
Susu.
Why are you crying?
Hey!
I can't understand anything.
Everything seems alien.
I couldn't answer a single question.
Until when will I keep lying
to my mom about my studies?
My father took debt for my studies.
Fine, stop crying.
Tell me about one problem.
In which class is this happening?
Every class.
I am the topper of Christ Jyoti
Senior Secondary School, Satna.
I have never left a question unsolved.
I wish I had continued studying in Satna
and got into some small
engineering college.
And all would've been good.
But instead, everyone provoked me.
They said, "If that dimwit can get into
IIT, then you'll definitely score."
And I believed them.
I thought I'll clear IIT just
like I cleared class ten.
I saw Erodov.
I shat my pants.
I don't want to do IIT.
I'll appear for some other
engineering entrance exam.
-This is not my cup of tea.
-No, no.
My fundamentals are clear.
I don't want to get into all this.
What do you mean?
The discussions about "Why do
you want to do IIT? What's so special?"
Why do you want to do IIT?
What is so special about IIT?
And why don't you want to discuss it?
Listen… don't you think
you're late to discuss this.
Secondly… we are in the
second year of IIT preparation.
And now you want to discuss
why you want to do IIT?
Wow!
Isn't that great?
If you ask a question
late, does that make it wrong?
If it's important, then it is!
You must have asked someone as well.
I did.
So what answer did you get?
You're alone but not late.
Sorry.
You're late but not alone.
You'll fight till the end,
and crack the IIT exam.
21 days!
Only 21 days of hard work--
Not that same old nonsense.
Now you'll say, "Let's
go get some kachori."
-I don't want to eat kachori.
-Okay, fine.
Do you even know what
he was saying about you?
He was right.
Doesn't matter.
Cheating is allowed sometimes
but don't get used to it.
Isn't that right, Bhaiya?
Deepak was right.
You should attend your
physics teacher's class.
That's your truth.
Bhaiya, we'll learn only from you.
-Yes, Bhaiya.
-Yes, Bhaiya.
I'll start a demonstration.
I'll cause a traffic jam.
I won't let any teacher enter the class.
-I'll start a candle march. I'll--
-Listen, JNU. Calm down.
IIT preparation is not your normal life.
IIT is like a concave mirror.
Doesn't matter how close you get to it.
You can't get in until…
you don't cross this point.
This point.
And what point is this?
Focus.
And the focus is IIT, not your teacher.
But why did you quit the institute?
I was thinking about
quitting for some time.
But then I realized if
I quit in the middle of the year,
it will be bad for the
class 12 and class 13 batch.
The year is over. End of story.
I'll start my own
institute in Vigyan Nagar.
No fee for old students.
Yes! Thank you, Bhaiya.
You'll have to pay the fee.
Okay, Bhaiya.
Now, get going.
-Thank you, Bhaiya.
-Thank you.
Thank you, Bhaiya.
Hurry up.
Also, give a chance to the new teacher.
Don't start a demonstration, Mr. Uday.
Okay, Bhaiya.
What else can I do? Either I
can do my homework or explain to him.
I can do only one thing.
And he can leave if he wants to.
I don't care.
Do you know what Mr. Maheshwari
was saying the other day?
My competition is around me.
And he lives above me.
What if you spare some time for him
and he gets selected?
Won't that be a reason to celebrate?
Why are you getting sentimental, Mom?
This is his first time
away from his house.
He's all alone.
He's someone's son as well.
Encourage him.
People explained to you as well.
They considered you
kin and not a competition.
Even you can be someone's Meena.
Engineers are the
foundation of the country.
Whether the foundation is strong or weak
will all depend on you.
And this question of waves
was in 2005 JEE.
-Understand?
-Sir.
-Yes.
-Which IIT are you from?
I am not from IIT.
But I've taught many IITians.
One thing.
You know this is given in the
question, "When beats increase to six.
Therefore the original frequency
of the second fork equals to 196 Hz."
"CH4 Hybridization."
"SP3."
I was weak in Chemistry.
So I would study all night.
CH4.
That's why it remembers it as well.
So cool!
Brother, we needed some help from you.
Take it, guys.
JD Lee, Krotov, Finar.
Take any book you guys want.
You want us to take all your books…
before the exam?
It's your drop year.
The JEE exam is next year.
You'll only give mock tests now.
Take it all.
No. I won't give any mock tests.
Because I won't appear for JEE.
Susu, I am going home.
You're going home?
Yes. I am done with IIT.
I wished I had asked
myself the same question.
I want to get in IIT.
Why?
Why do you want to do IIT?
I didn't learn my lesson even
after getting rejected last year.
We were called repeaters in Kota.
So, I forgot that we're droppers.
Even after seeing my Mains performance,
I didn't realize that appearing
for Advanced is a waste.
But brother, if you don't
appear for Advanced,
then your dream of IIT--
Will remain a dream!
I'll enroll myself in
some college near my house.
And you're right, Susu.
IIT is not at all necessary.
We're not IIT material.
No, brother, Susu is not like that.
He's not at all like that.
And, what is an IIT material?
If you scored marks in JEE,
then you're an IIT material.
It's just a paper.
First question. Solve it.
Did you solve it?
No, bro.
Then why did you pick up the pen?
To solve it.
An IITian never picks
up the pen to solve a question.
He does it to write the solution.
Brother, give me some time.
I am from Maheshwari's A3 batch.
Hyderabad, Chandigarh,
Delhi, Jaipur, Bhilai,
Rourkela, Vizag, Patna, Pune
Cochin, Bangalore, Jabalpur,
Hisar, Bhatinda, there are
many A3s in many cities.
When the A1 batch doesn't
get 100 percent security…
then you're nowhere close.
Every one out of five
IITian must be from Kota.
But only one out of 50
from Kota makes it to IIT.
It's better to quit your IIT dream.
If you have a rich father then
prepare for MIT, Princeton or Harvard.
Prepare for SAT.
But if we can't clear II
then how can we get into Harvard?
Poor boy doesn't even
know which battlefield he's on.
If you can't clear Harvard
then how can you clear IIT?
Every single mark puts
you dozens of ranks below.
You'll be caged in your expectations.
Don't make this mistake.
This is your entrance.
This will be the reception area.
We'll put a standee of you here.
And we'll put in a huge TV
over here with Jeetu Bhaiya's videos.
We'll even post a
boomerang on Instagram.
That's a radical idea.
Stop acting like Prodigy.
The results will do our publicity, not us.
Make the reception slightly smaller.
And put in comfortable chairs
in the class for the students.
Don't put in those benches.
They will be expensive.
The lectures last for two hours.
Their backs get strained.
The size will be 50.
Setup an Olympiad lab
in the rest of the classroom.
Olym… Olympiad?
Let's deal with JEE first.
The ultimate goal is the Olympiad.
So we've got to start
preparing right now.
Jeetu Bhaiya!
Vernali.
He literally shocked me.
This is such an unlucky day.
Everyone's trying to bloody lecture us.
What do you mean?
Even my language has
become foul in Uday's company.
But he was telling the truth.
I am going back home.
Yes, he was telling the truth.
You need to meet Jeetu Bhaiya.
Only he has the solution
to your problem.
-I'll take you to him on Sunday.
-Please, bro.
No more motivational lectures.
Let me go home.
If he can't convince you
then I'll buy you a train ticket.
-Promise?
-Yes.
Let's go home and fix our moods.
-Let's have some rasmalai.
-Okay.
And tonight we'll order
from Al-Kareem-- Vartika?
Vartika!
Hey!
-Hi.
-Hi.
Why did you come here?
I mean I am glad you came but…
Sorry.
I was going to call but… you know--
Actually, nothing was
fixed here so I thought…
Nice.
Nice.
How are you?
I am fine.
Sorry. What am I saying?
I am sorry.
Can I buy you a kachori?
No? Why?
Are you still angry with me?
I was going to call and come
but my friends…
I'll tell you some other day.
I really liked your surprise.
I loved it, thank you.
Thank you.
You didn't see us.
You spotted her.
And were we invisible?
Was everyone missing me?
Oh, God.
Of course, you guys had to come.
I was wondering how
Vartika knew my address.
It's because only Uday
knew my new address.
Here he comes.
I was talking about him.
Everyone. This is Sushrut.
-Sushrut.
-Hello.
This is everyone.
-Hello.
-Hello.
You already made new friends.
No, he's just… how do you say it?
He's just an acquaintance.
No, I didn't mean that, Susu.
Susu, it seems!
You even gave him a nickname.
The kachori here are mouthwatering.
It's a good thing you guys are here.
Let's go have kachori. Come on.
But you said we'll have rasmalai.
First, we'll have kachori
and then rasmalai.
Listen, Mr. Kachori!
We didn't come here to meet you.
We came to Jeetu Bhaiya's institute.
Jeetu Bhaiya's institute?
Did he quit Prodigy?
Yes, he started his own institute.
There!
I saw that as well.
Right next to our paying
guest house! Yeah!
Ma'am, first answer my question.
After that, I'll take you
wherever you want.
But first I need answers.
Wow! How come all of
you are here together?
Hey, how are you?
I am great.
Did you bring this as well?
Give that to me.
Bring me a spoon.
So ma'am, what have you decided?
No need to be shy of them.
They have all got holes in their boat.
Tell me.
I don't see any benefit
in appearing for JEE-Advanced.
Since my Mains exam was okay,
I can get into some NIT.
I'll have to study
the entire month again,
give the papers, appear for the exam
wait for the results
and get rejected again.
What's the point
of all this hard work?
Since my mains was good,
I'll get into some NIT.
NIT is good as well.
Yes, they are great.
But whose poster do
you have in your room?
Poster?
You must have a poster of
Ranbir, Hrithik, or Virat.
There must be something.
Shahid Kapoor.
Shahid Kapoor?
But he's impossible to get.
Put up something more convenient to get.
No, right?
You don't want to aim
low when it comes to boys.
But you can when it comes to life.
It sounds good to hear
that you should dream big.
-But do dreams ever come true?
-Never.
Rarely. Occasionally.
When you have dreams,
they are bound to shatter.
In fact, IIT shouldn't be
anyone's dream in the first place.
First things first,
stop using this word called "dream".
Because then you already believe…
that nothing's going to happen.
It's just a dream that you saw.
Start calling it your aim.
Aim!
Dreams are imagined and aims are achieved.
Call it your aim and
you'll find it doable.
Then your next question will be about
the path, strategy, and further doings.
IIT is my aim.
He's a fast learner.
Open it up.
When you aim big, then the
entire neighborhood finds out.
And when you can't achieve it,
these relatives begin to say things.
Aim big and fight for it.
And if you don't clear the exam,
then say it proudly that you
failed in JEE-Advanced.
What are you scared of?
Don't aim for IIT because
there's no life without it.
Sundar Pichai, Arvind Krishna are IITians.
But Satya Nadella is not.
And don't do IIT because
they teach better.
You'll find good teachers
in every school and college.
Aim for IIT because it's tough.
And fighting tough battles
gives confidence in life.
It's easy for you to say.
You're an IITian yourself.
You're right.
I was not a normal baby.
My birth was a miracle.
Lord Brahma blessed my mother.
My dear child, your son will
become an IITian. Bless you.
Stop laughing.
That's how IITians are.
They don't read but scan the book.
They pick up the
pen to write solutions.
We're not scared of Inorganic.
Silly problems? What's that?
We never did that.
It's convenient for me
to say that "Don't take stress."
But you'll have stress.
Studies say that stress for
a short duration is a good thing.
And do you know what's easier?
To say "Be yourself."
But the truth is that you
should always try to better yourself.
Even I was in Prodigy.
Life was good.
Why did I set out to
start my own institute?
I never ran a company or raised funding.
I wonder what more challenges
I'll have to face. Yet I am doing it.
I am gearing up at 32
and you're slowing down at 17.
How is this possible, sister?
Fine, I'll think about it.
Will you drop me now?
I just said it for the sake of it.
Take a rickshaw home.
Fine, I'll leave.
If I have a problem with Physics
then I'll call on your new number.
Please pick up.
Even she has his number.
Hi, Bhaiya.
So, you guys are hereafter
attending your formality lecture.
Bablu, give them the timetable.
Classes start on Monday.
So, why have you brought rasmalai?
I actually brought it for him
but you ate it.
He's been bothering me since morning.
So I brought him to meet you.
Since I already ate it, you should've
said that you brought it for me.
That's the truth, Bhaiya.
I see…
So, what do you want to talk about?
What?
Nothing.
Tell him.
He's been bothering me since morning.
Now tell him.
It's all clear now, Vaibhav.
How?
Everyone's been telling
you the same thing since morning.
Everyone was telling me.
But not making me feel it.
Now you got the feel, right?
Now leave. Come back on Monday.
I'll be sad
I'll cry
I'll be heartbroken
I'll understand
But I won't keep anything inside me
I'll say it aloud
Come what may…
I'll fight
But I'll never lose courage
I'll fight
I'll never lose courage
I'll fight
I'll never take a step back
I'll fight
I'll fight
Helplessness
I won't be scared of you
Dreary
I won't be scared of you
Come what may… I'll fight
Helplessness
I won't be scared of you
Restlessness
I won't be scared of you
Come what may… I'll fight
Disappointment
I won't be scared of you
Disappointment
I won't be scared of you
Come what may… I'll fight
Helplessness
I won't be scared of you
Restlessness
I won't be scared of you
Come what may… I'll fight
I'll never lose courage
I'll fight
