Netflix has unveiled the trailer of Hello Bachhon, a new original series inspired by the journey of educator Alakh Pandey, marking another collaboration with The Viral Fever (TVF). Premiering on Netflix on March 6, the show centres on student aspirations and the transformative role of a teacher whose belief became a catalyst for change. Following the success of Kota Factory, Netflix and TVF return to the classroom with a story rooted in lived experiences from across India. The title phrase Hello Bachhon- more than just a greeting- signals a movement that began in a modest classroom and grew to reach students across cities, towns and the country's smallest bylanes. The trailer offers a glimpse into five distinct student journeys shaped by hardship and hope. One boy battles financial constraints to pursue his education. A young girl pushes back against expectations that threaten to curtail her studies. Another student quietly gives up his passion for cricket to take on family responsibilities. Despite their varied realities, they are united by a shared dream and strengthened by the guidance of a teacher who believes in their potential.

 

Directed by Pratish Mehta, the series stars Viineet Kumar Singh, alongside Vikram Kochhar and Girija Oak Godbole. The ensemble cast also includes Satendra Soni, Sonu Kumar Yadav, Anshul Dogra, Samta Sudiksha, Varun Buddhadev and Naman Jain, who portray students navigating personal and systemic challenges. Created by Abhishek Yadav and co-written with Ankit Yadav, Vernaali and Sandeep Singh, Hello Bachhon continues Netflix and TVF's focus on youth-driven narratives. Viineet Kumar Singh said portraying a figure who has influenced millions came with both responsibility and gratitude, adding that he hopes audiences connect with the warmth and resilience at the heart of the story. "What makes Hello Bachhon powerful is that it tells two journeys with equal heart - a teacher finding his purpose, and students finding their belief. As an actor, portraying someone who has impacted millions comes with great responsibility, but also deep gratitude. I approached the role with utmost respect and gave it everything I had. I hope audiences feel the warmth, struggle and hope that define this journey, and see a reflection of countless journeys from across our country," he said. Hello Bachhon streams exclusively on Netflix from March 6. n
