chalk & duster



watched this indian production on tv yesterday and totally loved it. had been such a long time since i last watched any indian production. the plot revolved around how a power-hungry school principal unfairly removed two school teachers in an attempt to turn the school into one that caters only for the rich and powerful. it was hard not to feel for the teachers after seeing how the principal wrecked havoc in school and how she maneuvered her ways amongst the parents and the board members. the story ended with these two teachers being paid 50 million rupees by the board, reinstated, and the principal apologizing to them. a simple storyline but with many many touching moments. there were a few areas that i didn't like about the show such as how the feud between the teachers and the school's management got resolved via a reality game show but the overall feel good factors and happy ending more than made up for it.

this show would be a most appropriate choice for screening in schools on teachers day.
