Amidst the current dismal situation of the Indian education system, Paathshaala could well be an eye opener for educationists & parents as the film depicts the various issues faced by children today.

Starring Nana Patekar, Shahid Kapoor and Ayesha Takia in pivotal roles, `Paathshala' is a film with a message that tries to answer several questions related to the sanctity of today's education system. It sheds light on the shortcomings and wrong doings in today's schools where the high morals and basic ethics associated with the teaching profession seem to have taken a back seat. The film attempts to challenge several harmful notions that threaten our children's future and thus our society. Paathshaala also stars popular child artists Swini Khara, Avika Gor, Ali Haji & Dwij Narendra Yadav. In an innovative promotional move by the producers, major multiplexes across India will have attractive, colourful benches placed along with the film's standees to attract audience attention.

Presented by Eros International, `Paathshaala' is directed by Milind Ukey & produced by Shaira Khan (Paperdoll Entertainment). The film's story and screenplay are by Ahmed Khan and music by Hanif Shaikh.

Paathshalla hits theatres this April.
