Anand Kumar (Hrithik Roshan) is a lower-class student who has a passion in studies and is good at it. The local minister Devraj (Pankaj Tripathi), proud of him, promises for help whenever needed. Anand Kumar also has a friend, Ritu Rashmi (Mrunal Thakur), with whom he spends time. Anand, every weekend, goes to another city's library to solve a foreign Math journal. One day, the manager finally catches him, and says that he has no right to read there.One staff member suggests him to get featured in an article on the newspaper, so that he becomes famous and will get free subscription of the journal. Anand goes to the post-office, where his father works as the head. He then gets featured in the newspaper for solving some tough Math problems. He gets a letter from Professor Richard of Cambridge University to come there. But Anand needs money to travel. He and his father go the local minister, but he denies any promise. They both further try to have money but remain helpless and get depressed. And one day, Anand's father dies of a heart attack. Anand refuses to go to Cambridge due to his father's death and financial condition.He then sells Papads in the city. One day, he meets Lallan Singh (Aditya Shrivastava), an assistant of the local minister. Lallan takes Anand as a teacher in his coaching center, Excellence Coaching Centre. The coaching center is also funded by Devraj, who gets Lallan land at cheap rates and also funds his other businesses like bars and banquet halls. There, Anand sees the plight of a boy who had to leave due to poverty. He thinks that these poor kids also have a right to study.Hence, he leaves Excellence and starts a separate tuition for poor kids, in which he enrolls 30 kids at a time. He teaches them to learn everything practically and have the concepts clear in an easy and fun way. This all enrages Lallan, whose center is facing criticism for not retaining Anand (his rich students had paid a premium to study in Anand's class and threaten to take their money back). Purushottam (Manav Gohli) is the teacher assigned to design the paper. Anand's student score less and Anand only gets out of the bet as Purushottam's wife (who turns out to be Ritu, who married him under family pressure), stole the paper on which the bet was recorded.Anand then realizes that his students scored less as they felt inferior in front of the English speaking students at Excellence. So, Anand forces them to conduct a play in English in front of the Excellence center on Holi.In course of the tuition, Anand gets immense help from his brother Pranav (Nandish Singh) and mother. At one point, Pranav runs out of money to support the center and nobody would help them. So Anand makes a bet with Lallan that is his student defeat Lallan's students in a test, he would fund their ration for 3 months. If not, Anand will shut the center down. Lallan and the local minister plan to have Anand killed so that his kids won't be entering IIT. Anand is hurt brutally, and us hospitalized, on verge of death. Anand tells his students to then use their knowledge to defeat the goons sent by the minister (After having failed to kill Anand, Devraj orders his goon to attack the hospital and kill everyone (including the students) so that it looks like a Naxal attack), while he is being treated. The students, in unity, use their knowledge and defeat the goons and Anand is treated successfully. The students give the IIT exam and all 30 students pass successfully.
