Ph.D. Students and their guide – Flop Show Tv Serial On DVD Reviews

The fifth episode of satirical titled “Flop Show” Mr. Bhatti takes on the education system actually. Though, the focus is set on the candidates and his guide helping them in conquering Ph. D. – the degree of excellence in a specific field. It shows how the guides are using the candidate’s dependency on them for his own personal interest and use them as the servants without pay. The episode is “Dedicated to those, who served more to the (project) guides instead of serving science in order to get the degree of Ph. D.”; in Mr. Bhatti’s words.

An average student named Vinod was working in the chemistry lab trying an experiment, being overlooked by his guide Mr. Bhatti, does a mistake and a small blast not only destroys the experimental stuffs, but also creates a chaos in the lab. We see that Vinod goes to the milkman early in the morning to collect the milk from there to deliver the same at Mr. Bhatti’s home. Mr. Bhatti was relaxing with his wife.
