movies
SCREENING OF LAGAAN
As learning from various mediums of expressions
has been an integral part of education. Lagaan
was screened at NSB-NIILM SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, New
Delhi during its orientation programme “
PLAN “ (pre launch activities at NSB-NIILM SCHOOL OF BUSINESS)
for the July batch 2009-2011.
The movie Lagaan was screened as it delivers
many things — leadership, negotiation,
team building and courage to name a few. But
above all the movie was about project management
by a first-time project leader.
A project is something with a definite beginning
and a definite end, with a clear objective to
achieve with a limited number of resources.
In the film, the project is to beat the English
cricket team in three months, using whatever
resources (including human) that are locally
available.
The main focus of the movie was how Project
Leads play different roles depending on the
situation. Some roles that project leader in
Lagaan are: information provider, ideas and
opinions shaper, taper and developer of potential,
provider of emotional, physical and social support.
Screening of the movie ended with a discussion
on the learning from the movie. This encouraged
the students to develop a different perception
regarding the films.
CHAK DE
The movie was screened with the main focus of
delivering the lessons on team work, motivation,
the multi- cultural diversity and its attendant
problems, the work place politics and finally
the triumph of ethics and commitment of the
team over all odds.
GURU
Guru - a story of a young man in a small village
of Idhar in Gujarat, who dreams big right from
the start and has to face several hurdles and
fight an obstinate system all alone to see his
dreams come true.
Mantra for the winnable managers of tomorrow
from this movie was that - those who do not
dream do not achieve anything in life. He does
reach the top, ultimately.
ROCK ON
Rock On traverses the simple 'spirit of winning'
path. There's a committed individual or a team
who can't make it big for the first time. Life
gives a second chance and this time is the phase
to prove credentials.
THE PURSUIT OF
HAPPINESS
Mantra from the film: never to lose faith in
ourselves, our abilities and in mankind. Living
in today's world of diminishing integrity, this
just seems to be the reiteration that we all
need. After all, it is this single-minded dedication
to what we believe in, especially when we are
down in the dumps, which will help us ultimately
survive the day.
The movie through the character Chris Gardner
taught not to hanker over the trivial pursuits
of life, but to instead focus on the bigger
dream of being happy.
The movie through its characters communicated
that no matter how hard the road may be, to
never, ever take our eyes off the final goal.
And instead of blaming our hopeless situations
on theirs and throwing in the towel, we must
make an effort to be thankful for all that we
have, however meager and useless it may appear
to be at that time. At the end of the day, it
is this pursuit of happiness that makes us the
people we are, humbled by our experiences and
thus more receptive to the pleasures of happiness.
