The film is based on a story of how teachers discriminate against the students failing the exams.[2] Atul Kulkarni, who plays the teacher in the film, however teaches students to channelize their anger in a positive way. The film did well at the box office and was screened for 35 weeks in Pune.[3]
Kids from class 10 'F' realized that they are the victims of brutal discrimination. They were not willing to accept tags like goons or thugs. Frustrated with the situation, these kids decide to take matters in their own hands and ended up vandalizing school properties. As a result, they get suspended from school.
Finally a courageous teacher steps up and confronts the biased approach of the school based on the education system and rallies these kids to channel anger in a positive way.
The music has been directed by Shrirang Umrani.
