A wealthy couple from Chandni Chowk, Raj and Mita Batra, run a successful fashion boutique but feel socially inferior because they lack an English-medium education. Determined to secure a top English-language school for their young daughter, they embark on a frantic, often hilarious journey. They navigate the absurdities of the admission process, from hiring consultants to attempting to buy their way into the elite circles, ultimately leading them to pretend to be a poor family to qualify under a quota, challenging their own values.
