Storyline
In 1999, students Farhan Qureshi and Raju Rastogi of the Imperial College of Engineering in Delhi, struggle to compete within its cutthroat academic culture. Their roommate, the eccentric Ranchoddas Shamaldas Chanchad, who is genuinely passionate about engineering, gives unorthodox answers in class and frequently clashes with the school’s director, Viru Sahastrabuddhe, since he believes that students should enjoy what they learn, despite their strict teaching model.
