While Chanda dreams that her daughter would one day be more educated than her, Apeksha is a disinterested student who struggles at mathematics and exhibits a rebellious streak. Worried that her daughter might not do well in Class 10, Chanda decides to enrol in Apeksha's class to motivate her to study well. In the process, mother and daughter begin to understand each other a little better. Pankaj Tripathi and Ratna Pathak Shah play memorable supporting characters in the film.

Nil Battey Sannata was a surprise critical success when it released in 2016. What impressed many was that the film was inspirational and heartfelt, rooted in a believable milieu and focussed on a subject rarely covered in Hindi films—education among the poor.
