00:00Next case, Srikant Bhola v. Board of Education.
00:03Your Honor, today's case is a case of stubbornness.
00:06Even the people with good eyes are running towards the arts.
00:10I don't know why they want to study science.
00:12They can't change the system for a student, can they?
00:16Mr. Srikant, why do you want to study science?
00:19Your Honor, Srikant has scored 96% marks.
00:23That's why he wants to study science.
00:25Why did you become a judge, sir?
00:26Why did you become a judge, sir?
00:28Mr. Srikant, if you want to say something, you need to get permission first.
00:33I became a judge because I wanted to be a judge.
00:37May I speak, sir?
00:38Please.
00:43Exactly, sir.
00:45You could have become a doctor, engineer, businessman or an actor.
00:48But you became a judge because you wanted to be one.
00:52So, it's a matter of choice, sir.
00:54Admissions depend on marks, sir.
00:57Not on the eyes.
00:59I've heard that you need good marks for science.
01:03I scored 96% in the 10th grade, sir.
01:06I should get an admission.
01:08Mr. Srikant, you must have heard about Newton.
01:14He discovered gravity.
01:16Do you know how?
01:19He saw an apple falling.
01:24Think about it.
01:25If he hadn't seen the apple falling,
01:29would he have discovered gravity?
01:53Sir, everyone must have seen the apple falling.
01:56But he's right. I didn't see it.
01:59But do any of you know how fast the apple fell?
02:04Or how long it took for it to fall?
02:06Does anyone know?
02:09Stick, please.
02:11Thank you.
02:14Sir, this is a 200 gram walking stick.
02:17It weighs almost as much as an apple.
02:19The same apple that Newton saw falling.
02:24Sir, if this stick...
02:26Sir, please calculate it.
02:34Sir, if this stick fell from my eyeline,
02:36I mean, from a height of 1.72 metres,
02:40then according to the formula,
02:47Sir, acceleration due to gravity is constant.
02:499.8 metres per second square.
02:52So, according to that,
02:54it must have taken time for the stick to fall.
03:010.59 seconds, sir.
03:03Is that correct?
03:08And speed, or velocity,
03:10its formula is acceleration due to gravity into time.
03:149.8 into 0.59.
03:17This stick fell to the ground at a speed of 5.782 metres per second.
03:22Is that correct?
03:28Yes.
03:31Sir, Newton did discover gravity.
03:34But that doesn't mean that before that,
03:36no one saw an apple falling.
03:38They must have seen it.
03:41But no one thought about gravity, sir.
03:44Because gravity is not seen, sir.
03:47It is felt.
03:49We don't need eyes for that.
03:57The next hearing will be on the 15th of October.
04:00And the college in which Mr. Shrikant wants to take admission,
04:03the principal of that college,
04:05please summon him here in the court.
04:10Shree.
04:11Take this.
04:12Shree.
04:18Why Walkman, teacher?
04:20To listen to the songs of A. R. Rahman.
04:23It is the first of three units of 11th standard physics, Shree.
04:27It has been six months since the case was filed.
04:30And the midterm has also started.
04:32Whether we get admission or not,
04:34knowledge is never wasted.
04:37The more we get, the less.
04:41Let's study.
04:42Okay.
04:43Shree.
05:11Your honour.
05:12The college in which Mr. Shrikant wants to take admission,
05:15the principal of that college, Mr. Shrigri is with us.
05:18He wants to say something to the court.
05:20Permission granted.
05:23Your honour, science is not as easy
05:26as they want to prove in the court.
05:28It is a different thing to memorize a few formulas and impress people.
05:32But completing the entire syllabus
05:35will be impossible for Mr. Shrikant.
05:37Just tell me what I can't do, sir.
05:40I can do everything.
05:43Really?
05:44Okay.
05:46So...
05:48Read something from this book and tell the court.
05:50You can do everything, can't you?
05:52It is a book on 11th physics.
05:58All students study from this book.
06:00You want to study science, don't you?
06:03If you get admission, you will also have to study from this book.
06:06What are you doing?
06:08Sorry, your honour.
06:09But...
06:11Every college has a way of teaching science.
06:14A system.
06:15A system cannot be changed just for one person.
06:18Sir.
06:38Sir.
06:42Permission granted.
06:44Principal sir, I would also like to give you a book.
06:48Why don't you read something from this book to the court, sir?
06:56What happened?
06:58This is braille. I don't know how to read braille.
07:00Then ask someone in the courtroom if they can read it.
07:03I don't think anyone in the court knows how to read braille.
07:05Exactly.
07:07Just like you can't read our book, we can't read yours.
07:12Think about it, sir.
07:13If we had made this education system,
07:16it would have been impossible for you to read any book.
07:22Sir, I'm not asking you to change the system for me.
07:26But at least give me a chance to be a part of that system.
07:31Sir, we are not a charitable organization.
07:35Our college's results will be ruined because of this favor.
07:38Your college has a 45% result.
07:40How much worse can it get?
07:41And don't forget that 90% of the students who have admitted have scored lesser than Srikant.
07:46Srikant is favoring you, sir.
07:48Your results will improve.
07:49Madam!
07:52Sir, it's not necessary to have eyes to know right from wrong.
07:58Your law is also blind.
08:00But we have complete faith in it, sir.
08:03And sir, if Srikant passes, the system will change on its own.
08:07Sir, for normal students,
08:10you introduce new subjects and streams.
08:14Do something similar for us too, sir.
08:19Sir, even I can clearly see that you don't have any arguments left.
08:24Let it be, sir.
08:27We'll discuss the rest in class.

10:23In our country, every kid dreams of becoming a cricketer.
10:28And for me, it was my grandfather's dream.
10:31Let's introduce yourself with name and category.
10:34Santosh B-2.
10:36Rafi B-1.
10:37Vikant B-1.
10:39Here, here, here.
10:43Ready?
10:54B-1. B-1. B-1. B-1. B-1. B-1. B-1. B-1.
10:59Shree!
11:01Shree!
11:03Shree, you scored 98%!
11:05You topped, Shree! You topped!
11:06Congratulations, man! Congratulations!
11:09Namaste, Anil.
11:10Namaste.
11:11Good morning, sir.
11:12Good morning.
11:13Shree scored 98% in the 12th standard, sir.
11:16Wow!
11:18Please, please. Sit, sit, sit.
11:23Thank you, sir.
11:24At least, my judgment of this case was right.
11:27Yes, sir.
11:28With Shree's efforts, visually impaired students
11:30can now select science stream, sir.
11:36Hello.
11:37I know.
11:38Your son is a genius.
11:41All the kids have been selected
11:43for the Lead India Movement.
11:45No, no. Not a single seat is vacant.
11:47Sorry, sorry.
11:48I can't do anything.
11:52Sir, what is Lead India Movement?
11:54Lead India Movement, Shree?
11:56It's Dr. Abdul Kalam's initiative.
12:01Is it very difficult, sir?
12:04Not a single seat is vacant.
12:07Hello, sir. I want to be an IAS officer.
12:09Thank you.
12:10Nice.
12:11Hello, sir.
12:12I want to be a space research scientist
12:14and to be the first man on Mars.
12:15Thank you, sir.
12:16Very good.
12:18Hello, sir.
12:19I want to study biology
12:20and become a life scientist.
12:22Thank you.
12:23Very nice.
12:25Hello, sir.
12:26I want to be an actor
12:27and make good films.
12:28Very nice.
12:29Thank you, sir.
12:35Hello, sir.
12:36Hello, young man.
12:37Sir, I want to be the first
12:38visually challenged president of India.
12:40Thank you, sir.
12:54Thank you.
13:10What is your name, young man?
13:12Sir, my name is Shrikant Bhola.
13:15I would like to see that day, Shrikant.
13:18You are very clear about your goal.
13:21And now even I can see you clearly.
13:23In the future,
13:24taking oath as the president of India.
13:28Best wishes, young man.
13:30Thank you, sir.
13:37Shrikant has done a great job.
13:39He has created history.
13:43I have fought the government
13:45and brought science for this kid.
13:47Thank you, sir.
13:52Janaki Shree.
13:53Why are you crying?
13:54Go.
13:57Shrikant.
13:58Sir.
14:00Sir, first of all,
14:01thank you very much.
14:02How you fought everyone
14:03and brought science for me.
14:07Sir, all this hard work,
14:08all this work,
14:09neither you nor I have done it.
14:11My teacher Devika has done it.
14:14So her name should be Roshan.
14:17I would like to ask you to
14:18make her wear this shawl, please.
14:21Sure, sure, sure.
14:23Thank you, sir.
14:24Thank you.
14:26Tell me the truth.
14:27You did it to impress everyone, right?
14:30No, teacher.
14:32To tell you that I am not becoming a hero.
14:35I am a hero.
14:45Hello, boys.
14:47All of you have performed best
14:49in your pre-trials and reached Mumbai.
14:53But here too,
14:54all of you will have to give your best.
14:58Because on the basis of this performance,
15:01the selectors are going to select
15:02the players of the national team.
15:06Is that clear?
15:08Come on, boys.
15:09Come on.
15:16Come on, boys.
15:17Come on.
15:24His name is Shrikant, sir.
15:32Kota Belly, Kota Belly.
15:36Kota Belly.
15:38Ticket, ticket, ticket.
15:39Nimra Surdas.
15:41Do you know him?
15:44I have taught you cricket, right?
15:47Mahesh.
15:48Yes.
15:51You are sitting at a good place.
15:53Minarna.
15:55Where are you begging in Hyderabad?
16:00Did you bring the money?
16:02Did you bring the change in the bag?
16:05Show me.
16:06Show me.
16:07Ticket.
16:10How much is the ticket?
16:11Three rupees.
16:13It was two rupees.
16:14It has increased now.
16:15It has increased now.
16:16If you don't have it, get down.
16:19I will give you.
16:20No, get down.
16:22I climb every day.
16:45Damodar.
16:46Hey, Damodar.
16:49Shrikant.
16:50Come.
16:53You have grown up.
16:54You look handsome.
16:55Brother, did you see?
16:59Father.
17:15Your Shrikant will play for India without eyes.
17:22Father.
17:24You will come to see me playing, right?
17:33Father.
17:34Father.
17:35The house is on this side.
17:45Father.
17:50My son will play for India.
17:52Your Shrikant will play for India.
17:56He is my brother.
18:15Shrikant.
18:34Good shot, Shree.
18:36Thank you, sir.
18:37Shree.
18:39Yes.
18:40You have got a call.
18:43Sir, I have got a call.
18:44Yes.
18:45Go, Shree.
18:46Teacher.
18:47How are you?
18:48I am fine, Shree.
18:49You tell me.
18:51How is your game going on?
18:52The game is going on well, teacher.
18:54I have to go to Netherlands for the tournament in three months.
18:56Oh.
18:57Good.
18:59And how is Mumbai?
19:00Mumbai is very good, teacher.
19:02I saw the sea yesterday.
19:03I also saw Shahrukh Khan's house.
19:05Really?
19:07Teacher, did you fill my IIT form?
19:11I called to tell you that, Shree.
19:14Top engineering colleges have the same problem with admissions.
19:18There are no seats for visually challenged students.
19:22Like last time, by going to the court...
19:28Should I go to the court and fight for everything?
19:31I just want to study, teacher.
19:34It's not my job to change the system.
19:38Shree.
19:39I have an idea.
19:42What?
19:44We can apply internationally.
19:50These foreign universities...
19:51US, UK...
19:53And with so many marks, we might even get admission there.
19:57But...
20:01What, teacher?
20:03But that will make your dream of playing for India incomplete.
20:07You will have to run a lot.
20:08And if you get admission...
20:10You will have to leave India as well.
20:15So...
20:16How will your cricket...
20:22It's okay, teacher.
20:24Education is first for me.
20:25Cricket comes later.
20:27And I deserve the best education, teacher.
20:31If IIT doesn't need me...
20:33I don't need IIT.
20:35You apply, teacher.
20:39Shree, don't go.
20:41India needs you.
20:42India needs you.
20:45Trust me, sir.
20:47India doesn't need me.
20:57Thank you, sir.
21:12Thank you.
21:28You fought against everything in your way.
21:30What does it take to swim against the tide?
21:33To swim against the tide, you need courage, dedication and vision.
21:37And by vision, I'm not talking about the vision that we see through.
21:39I'm talking about the vision which is inside all of us.
21:42So where do you see yourself in the next 10 years, I'd say?
21:46In the next 10 years?
21:48Sir, I want to sit where you're sitting and give more chances to students like me.
21:53Because, sir, all we need is an opportunity.
21:56And the sky is the limit.
21:58Excellent, Shrikant.
22:00But...
22:01I just can't imagine how you'll be able to study like a normal student.
22:06You know, whenever someone says, Shrikant, you can't do this,
22:09I question the world and ask, why can't I?
22:13The top four universities in the U.S. have given Shrikant a scholarship
22:17to study in a college which no Indian college has paid for.
22:21Where people have to pay a fee of around Rs. 65 lakhs,
22:24Shrikant doesn't have to pay a single rupee.
22:27It will really be an honour for Haldiram Nagpur to sponsor your travel
22:30and stay in the USA, Mr. Shrikant Gola.
22:33Thank you, sir.
22:34So, which college would you prefer?
22:36MIT.
22:39This is the economy class.
22:41There are three seats to the left and three seats to the right.
22:45There are eight exits in the aircraft, out of which there are four emergency exits.
22:56Let's go.
22:59Let's go.
23:00Let's go.
23:03Let's go quickly or we'll miss the flight.
23:07Okay, teacher.
23:09Will you miss me?
23:11I'll miss you a lot.
23:13I won't miss you at all.
23:15Now that you're leaving, I'll get time for myself as well.
23:18And no one will call me teacher all day, right?
23:26Teacher.
23:27You've made me so capable that I can tell if you're crying or not.
23:35Bye.
23:44Teacher! Teacher! Teacher!
23:47Take care, Shree.
23:57Take care.
24:13Sir, who else is travelling with you?
24:15No one. I'm going alone.
24:17Sir, a visually impaired person cannot travel alone in the flight.
24:20There should be someone with you, right?
24:23Ma'am, it's very important for me to go.
24:25My admission letter for MIT is also there.
24:27Hi, sir.
24:28Yes.
24:29I'm Ravish. I'm the chief officer on duty.
24:31Just give me a second to understand the situation.
24:35Our flight is about to leave.
24:36Yes, ma'am. Just one second.
24:38Shreekanth, actually, why don't we just step aside?
24:41Just to your right.
24:42Is this your airline policy? Can I talk to your senior manager, please?
24:44Next.
24:45I am the chief officer on duty.
24:48First, take your documents.
24:51Sir, please.
24:52Keep your documents.
24:53Because it's very important to keep them safe.
24:55Your passport, ticket, everything is in it.
24:57Your bag is behind you.
24:59Now, as far as airline policy is concerned,
25:01I cannot let you fly alone.
25:03There is nothing I can do about it.
