Synopsis:故事大綱
1949年的虛擬城市「帝都」,城市逃過二次大戰,明治時期的貴族制度一直沿用至今,造成嚴重的階級觀念,且國內九成財產由上流社會擁有。一天,一名神秘怪盜現身帝都,專門從有錢人家搶走一些不太值錢的物件。民眾稱他為「怪人二十面相」,簡稱「K-20」。馬戲團雜耍員遠藤平吉被K-20陷害、被人誤以為是K-20。為表清白,平吉決定利用自己超凡的技能,與K-20一決高下。他更與K-20的下一個目標─貴族千金羽柴葉子及她的偵探未婚夫明智小五郎聯手,誓還自己一個清白。 K-20: LEGEND OF THE MASK is set in the fictional Japanese capital of Teito, in 1949. World War II was averted. The aristocratic system of “nobility” established in the Meiji Era (mid-late 19th century) continues, creating an extreme divide between the upper and lower classes with 90% of the country’s wealth being controlled by the upper classed members of society.

Synopsis: Teaching is a noble profession. But is it really true in these days of commercialization and consumerism? Every day, we read in the newspaper about students being bogged down under study pressures, parents burdened with fees hikes, teachers punishing students inhumanly, some students even dying in such cases or some committing suicides…what state of affairs we have brought our education system to?
The story starts with joining of a new English Teacher Rahul Prakash Udyavar( Shahid Kapoor) in Swaraswati Vidya Mandir school, situated in the outskirts of Mumbai Suburbs. Though he creates instant rapport with students and teachers alike, he realizes that there is something amiss in this school. Slowly his doubts come true as manager of School Sharma(Saurabh Shukla) makes many monetary obligation compulsory on the parents in the name of extracurricular activities. He goes to the extent of punishing the students inhumanly when the new unjustified demands of the school are not fulfilled by the parents.
Day by day the stress level among the students increases many folds leading to the unexpected and grim consequences. A situation becomes so explosive that finally it becomes a national issue.
Paathshala tries to answer many questions related to the sanctity of today’s education system. The high morals and basic ethics of the teachings have taken back seat. Profit and more profit have become a new mantra of education institutions.
Paathshala is not afraid of telling the truth of wrong doings of the greedy educational institutes on the face, neither it spares them from exposing the use of unethical media activities for the children who are yet not ready for it.
