School) is a 2010 Indian Hindi-language drama film that stars Shahid Kapoor, Ayesha Takia, Shraddha Arya, Ali Haji, Sushant Singh and Nana Patekar and is directed by Milind Ukey.

The story begins with a young man, Rahul Prakash Udyavar, who is hired as an English teacher at Saraswati Vidya Mandir, a reputed school in Mumbai.

On his first day, Rahul attends a staff meeting headed by the principal, Aditya Sahay, who announces that he will soon send an email containing new policies for the school's further development.

One week after Rahul's employment, the teachers become upset after receiving the email, which states that the classroom body will be increased disproportionately.

The situation turns grave as the school management becomes overambitious with its growth and involves media planners in the extracurricular activities.

This demands the involvement of students in TV reality shows and other media PR activities used for building the school's image in public.

Most of Paathshaala was shot at Film City in Mumbai where the set of the Saraswati Vidya Mandir school was constructed.

In Mumbai Cinemax, Fun Republic and Fame Adlabs also received a good turnover on the opening day.

The film started slow but managed to pick up places on Saturday and remained steady on the lower side over the weekdays.
