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.
Hello Bacchon trailer
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.
Directed by Pratish Mehta, with Viineet Kumar Singh leading the cast alongside Vikram Kochhar and Girija Oak Godbole, the series is further elevated by strong performances from Satendra Soni, Sonu Kumar Yadav, Anshul Dogra, Samta Sudiksha, Varun Buddhadev and Naman Jain, who sensitively portray five unique stories of students navigating challenges and rising against all odds.
Created by Abhishek Yadav and co-written with Ankit Yadav, Vernaali and Sandeep Singh, Hello Bachhon marks another collaboration between Netflix and TVF that brings to screen a story rooted in the aspirations and resilience of young India.
`Captures emotions of different Indias`
Arunabh Kumar, Founder & CEO, TVF shared, “Hello Bachhon is a truly special series for us. It follows two journeys unfolding in parallel – a teacher who recognised that the hunger to learn exists everywhere, and students navigating their own hardships within a competitive system. What moved us most were the real anecdotes behind these student stories from such diverse & underprivileged backgrounds, and the moments where belief changed the course of their path. The series captures emotions of Different Indias and how the journeys of student and a Teacher, intersect to build something meaningful. Through our partnership with Netflix, we’re excited to bring this layered, heartfelt story to audiences across the world.”
Viineet Kumar Singh said, “What makes Hello Bachhon powerful is that it tells two journeys with equal heart – a teacher finding his purpose, and students finding their belief. As an actor, portraying someone who has impacted millions comes with great responsibility, but also deep gratitude. I approached the role with utmost respect and gave it everything I had. I hope audiences feel the warmth, struggle and hope that define this journey, and see a reflection of countless journeys from across our country.”
