What happens when a family is let down by the system they wholeheartedly believed in? Should they accept it for what it is or leave it all behind and strive for something better? Being a true family, they obviously have different ideas on how to deal with it, resulting in some very humorous - and insightful - situations.
‘Janak’ is a satire and like all satires, it holds a mirror to our lives and will make us laugh at ourselves, and at the sometimes ridiculous positions we find ourselves in, at the hands of the System.

Meet Ravi, who hails from a village in UP and has recently migrated to ‘Outer Dilli’ to join his family. In this new and unfamiliar territory, he discovers that he is at best, just another new student in class; at worst, a fair innocent boy who is easy prey for other boys. Now he must decide - will he fight and live? Or be humiliated and merely survive? Outer Dilli is a reminder that coming of age is rarely easy on the young.
