What happens

Sir is a 1993 Indian Hindi-language crime drama film directed by Mahesh Bhatt starring debutant Atul Agnihotri and Pooja Bhatt in the lead roles, with Naseeruddin Shah playing the title role. Paresh Rawal and Gulshan Grover play the antagonist. The core plot is based on the 1967 British film To Sir, with Love, about a teacher attempting to help and reform troubled students and Bhatt turning it into an action-drama with the additional element of the Mumbai underworld. The film was remade in Telugu as Gangmaster, with Rajasekhar. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
