Still from Hello Bacchon
Hello Bachhon - a greeting that didn’t just start classes, but started a movement. Netflix has unveiled the trailer of its upcoming series, inspired by the extraordinary journey of educator Alakh Pandey, whose voice reached far beyond the classroom and into the homes and hearts of students across India. Premiering on March 6, the series tells the story of students who refused to give up on their dreams, strengthened by the support of a teacher who believed in them when it mattered most.
What began as a modest classroom initiative soon grew into a movement that reached students across cities, towns and the smallest bylanes of India. In the trailer, we see glimpses of the very different realities the students come from, yet they are united by one shared dream. One boy struggles against financial hardship, a young girl resists expectations that could cut short her education, and another quietly sets aside his passion for cricket to shoulder responsibility at home. Through their journeys, we come to understand why education is not a privilege reserved for a few but a right that can change the direction of a life.
