    Synopsis 


A lively energetic Hindi comedy, F.A.L.T.U is a story about four highschool bestfriends Ritesh Virani, Niranjan Nayar, Puja Nigam, and Vishnu Vardhan who are in the critical stage of their life trying to get into any college in order to satisfy their parents' expections. However, among four of them Vishnu, the only one with the highest score (94%), is the only person that got accepted to the college he applied while the other three got rejected by all colleges!!

Of course, life isn't fair! so what should the rest of them do without anywhere else to go, so they came up with the most bizarre idea of creating their own fake college. With the help from Vishnu and Google Chand (Ritesh's relative), they successfully set up the fake university and given the name "Fakirchand and Lakirchand Trust University" or F.A.L.T.U. meaning 'Useless' in Hindi. They also hired Bajirao, a former elementary school teacher, as the principal. Everything seems to go as planned, but not until the university entrance day before the real chaos actually begin. Countless number of students from around the country show up at F.A.L.T.U by mistaken it as a real universities as they applied and got accepted through the university website created by Vishnu. The most surprising fact is that all of the prospective students of FALTU has one thing in common which is the fact that they all had been rejected by the universities they had applied. Later on that day, the shocking fact was announced to all of them that the college is fake after the parents left! And they had better keep it a secret, by all means! 

In the middle of shocking moment, now F.A.L.T.U become the only hope they got.  How can they turn down the hope of a thousand others, so they are forced to continue. F.A.L.T.U's semester begin with non-stop parties days and nights, but the pointless party-time finally comes to an end. When Ritesh go back to his home for a visit, he got inspired by his father's simple but insightful philosophy about his junk business. Ritesh decide to make a life changing decisions by making other students to study, but it isn't an easy task since no one want to learn from books. The situation got worsen and it also upset Bajirao and Google. However, things got better when Bajirao punish them by making the students come up with their hobbies and passions and write them down. This results in the greater idea of making F.A.L.T.U become the hub of multi talents learning. Unfortunately, the plan has been obstructed Vishnu's father, the influencial Mr. Vardhan who eventually discovered what his son and friends has been doing all along. Despite the obstacle, no one seems to give up their hope.

In the end, all F.A.L.T.U's Students decide to join the universities competition and won the heart of the audience, judges, and their parents. After all this tough time, they eventually got accepted by adults who value kids by their grades.

Happy Ending :)
