Aarakshan

Prabhakar Anand (Amitabh Bachchan) is the principal of a respected college, a man who has spent his life teaching and expects his students to be judged on merit alone. When the Supreme Court establishes caste-based reservations in education, it sets him against Deepak Kumar (Saif Ali Khan), a teacher he mentored. Prakash Jha lets the argument spill from the classroom into the family, and Prabhakar holds to his principles while the cost lands closest to home.
