World's Best

At the end of World’s Best, Prem discovers that his pursuit of being a rapper isn’t what truly defines him. His visions of his father, Suresh, serve as internal guidance and remind him that his greatest achievements are his relationships—particularly with his mother and their happiness—rather than external success or fame. By reconnecting with his love for math and participating earnestly in the math competition, Prem learns to value his authentic self and the importance of family. His banishment from the rap scene and the revelation that his father was just a regular bartender help Prem see that he doesn’t need to be the “world’s best” to make his father proud. In the end, although they don’t win first place, Prem’s school team secures a respectable third at the mathlympics, symbolizing a significant milestone for him. The story concludes with Prem joining a group practicing rap, embracing his passions without losing sight of what truly matters—family, self-acceptance, and the pursuit of genuine happiness. It’s a gentle reminder that success isn’t about being the best, but about staying true to oneself and finding joy in the journey.
