Naina Mathur dreams of becoming a teacher but lives with Tourette syndrome that makes her voice unpredictable. Her mother Sudha and brother Vinay stand by her, while her father Prabhakar remains skeptical about teaching as a career. She keeps the faith that she is capable of making a difference in a classroom.

Naina finally gets an offer to teach at St. Notker's School for class 9F. She sees it as a chance to prove herself despite the stigma of Tourette's. The job is a beacon of hope for her and her family.

On her first day, the students mock and imitate Naina, testing her resolve. She chooses an interactive approach to win them over, showing resilience in the face of doubt. The class is a rough mix of unruly kids from a nearby slum.

The 9F students prank Naina with liquid nitrogen, causing an explosion that shatters windows. Naina intervenes, arguing the prank was planned and promising room for guidance if they can channel that plan into learning. The incident exposes the school's fragile control over the class.

Wadia, the 9A teacher, dislikes the 9F students and claims his class comprises miracles; Naina counters that 9F will earn prefect badges too. She plans to foster confidence and responsibility in her class. The science fair becomes a focal point of their potential.

Aatish, initially cold toward Naina, sabotages 9A's science project, triggering the investigation. The principal starts considering expulsion for 9F due to the disruption. Naina vows to keep the students from being expelled by focusing on their exam performance.

Even as Naina defends the students, the principal suspends 9F from attending school until the exams—sending a harsh blow to their spirits. Naina consoles them, acknowledging that her efforts feel shattered but encouraging perseverance. The moment tests her resolve and teaching method.

Aatish chooses to apologize, and the rest of 9F commits to studying diligently. Shyamlal attempts to fix the cheating plan by giving copies of the question paper to 9F, but the students refuse to cheat and he abandons the plan. The class regains focus on honest work.

The students pass the exams, but they are accused of cheating after Shyamlal confesses to supplying the 'wrong' papers. The principal announces that 9F must face expulsion during the prefect-pinning ceremony, threatening their futures.

Akshay from 9A reveals that Shyamlal was bribed to share the copies, proving 9F did not cheat. Wadia realizes his initial judgment was wrong and confirms the integrity of Naina and her students. The truth restores their trust and respect.

At the ceremony, Wadia publicly condemns his earlier attempt to fail the students and praises Naina's teaching. He asks her to pin the prefect badges to the top-ranking 9F students, recognizing their growth and effort. The moment marks a turning point in the school's perception of the class.

The film closes with Naina's last day as principal after 25 years of service. The former 9F students, now successful, gather to reunite with her, celebrating the impact of her unorthodox approach. Her legacy is the transformation of a challenging class into capable individuals.
