Plot
Raaj Batra is a successful boutique owner who lives in Chandni Chowk with his wife Meeta Batra and 5-year-old daughter, Piaa Batra. The couple want Piaa to be admitted to a prestigious English-medium school in Delhi as they feel that this will enable her to become a part of the elite of society. They decide on Delhi Grammar School, ranked the best in the city, but it requires that students must stay within a 3-km radius of the school. They move to a posh villa in Delhi's upscale Vasant Vihar neighbourhood and try to become more refined in their manner. A consultant, Saumya, despite her misgivings about them, tutors them in the answers to be given in the admission interview, but their limited knowledge of English means Piaa's application is rejected.
