Prime Video will premiere Hindi-language series “Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya” worldwide on July 24, unveiling a seven-episode comedy-drama led by Kay Kay Menon as a headmaster attempting to revive a failing school.
“Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya” is directed by Himank Gaur and created and executive produced by Biswapati Sarkar and Sameer Saxena under their Posham Pa Pictures banner. The show is written by Sarkar alongside Akshay Asthana, Nupur Pai, Tatsat Pandey and Meghna Srivastava.
Menon stars as Gyaneshwar Tripathi, a laid-back headmaster whose pursuit of a government-sponsored training program in Cambridge sets off an unexpected transformation. He assembles an unlikely team of teachers to turn around one of the city’s most underperforming schools, navigating unruly classrooms, scarce resources, indifferent parents and administrative obstacles along the way.
The ensemble cast includes Archana Puran Singh, Naveen Kasturia, Prasanna Bisht, Abhimanyu Singh, Deven Bhojani, Ajitesh Gupta, Annapurna Soni and Prachee Shah.
“‘Adarsh Baal Vidyalaya’ is a warm, spirited comedy about the chaos and contradictions of a system beautifully held together by the sheer perseverance of its people,” said Nikhil Madhok, director and head of originals, Prime Video, India. “The storytelling is full of wit, soul, and a deeply relatable narrative, brought to life by the creative vision of Biswapati Sarkar, Sameer Saxena, Himank Gaur, and the entire team behind the show.”
