In the bustling heart of Delhi, a successful and affluent couple from Chandni Chowk, Raj and Mita Batra, find their world upended by a single, universal parental anxiety: securing their daughter’s admission into a top-tier English-medium school. Irrfan Khan stars as Raj, a charismatic but hilariously out-of-touch clothing merchant who believes his wealth can smooth any path, while Saba Qamar plays his determined wife Mita, who is convinced that an English education is the only gateway to a respectable future for their child. Directed by Saket Chaudhary, this sharp social drama-comedy follows the Batras as they plunge headfirst into the absurdly competitive and often hypocritical world of elite school admissions, navigating a maze of interviews, tutors, and societal expectations. Their desperate journey forces them to question their own values and confront the deep class divides in modern India, all in pursuit of a coveted seat that promises prestige but may cost them their identity. A poignant and witty exploration of aspiration, privilege, and what it truly means to be "educated," the film holds up a mirror to societal pressures with both humor and heart.
