Learn from the movies

Unlike others, movies are not a usual part of my weekend routine. I am choosy when it comes to watching movies. To me a movie must be unique and must have good reviews. So I am a rare breed who will invest time and money for a movie and expect return on investment. I watched some movies not recently though which I keep recommending to everyone I talk to. Unlike yester year movies, the concentration is more towards unwanted stuff to create more hype and revenues while forgetting to create some positive impact on the audience. So today’s movies are actually unfit to invest – both time and money. Ofcourse there are some exceptions to this statement.

I do make some compromises on investing time more than money for movies but only to make a few people happy – my friend Naga, my wife Aishu and my nephew Bhushan. In this blog more than wasting your time in talking about bad movies, I am interested to share some amazing movies and the insight I drew. Just 3 movies – I identified lot of messages and to implement them in my life, I will need another birth.

The first movie called “Mozhi” pictured from lateral thinking team– Prakash Raj and Radha mohan. I am sure South Indians can identify this movie immediately as a PERFECT MOVIE. The movie had a right mix of humor, love, feel and happiness coupled with soothing music. I felt like something is happening next to me. The concept is a normal guy falling in love with physically disabled woman and marrying her. The immediate reaction from the crowd is – “Respect and love all human irrespective of how they are”. But I left my thoughts to fly and take more insights. Some I felt was:
1) There is a good human in everyone. It is all about identifying them
2) Seeing and hearing are short lived whereas feeling lives forever. A deaf and dumb can feel music
3) If you show love on others, the love in return is poured on you

The next movie called “Abhiyum Naanum” from the same combination. The concept is about father’s love on a daughter. Again my take aways are more:
1) The movie proves the law of attraction – be and do good, you will always encounter good things and good people in life
2) First impression may be the best impression. But without understanding a person creating an impression denies the happiness of one’s life
3) One can feel God’s blessings through kids speech and actions
4) Today’s tiring activities becomes tomorrow’s sweet memories. So do a lot of activities to have a lot of memories for the future
5) Whether a kid of oldman, rich or poor - a human must know to respect others.
6) There is a human in everyone – it is about identifying them


The third movie, I am sure everyone will jump from their seats – “Tare Zameen Par”. Aamir Khan made everyone cry. I honestly have no words to describe the movie as every clip spoke thousand words. I watch that movie every week and I never get bored. God has gifted everyone with a unique strength and none can compete them on that. There is a talent in everyone like Ishaan and not sure if everyone was fortunate enough to have an influencer like Nikumbh sir.


But human’s have the tendency to assess on a generic scale and compare one with each other. This happens mostly with school children. If everyone has to score Rank#1, who will be 2, 3 & 4?
· Had Steve Jobs continued in high school, we might have not seen Apple Inc, a company known for innovation
· If Sachin was forced to pursue higher education, the world wouldn’t have identified a Master batsman
· Had Tiger Woods dropped his golf bat and went for education and other routine, we wouldn’t have seen a GOLF legend.
All and more characters I am sure would have gone through several discriminations and criticisms in life. But life is all about standing against the criticisms and proving them wrong.



Let me take my example so that you will feel a next door person exaple. More than academics, I always loved to talk and impress people by words but all that I was awarded during school times were – Talkative, Thinking beyond his age, Must control this guy, Poor in studies etc., People identified me talking but didn’t have the attitude to listen and appreciate what I was talking about.

But thanks to God who gave me a person life Nikumbh sir (my mother )who fed me with loads of attitude and today I stand in front of everyone and proudly claim – “Sales and Marketing professional and is all about talking and impressing people”. To support my claim is my 5 years of successful career, better growth, relationship with great people, place in the good book of my future generation. My voice is daily heard across states in USA, many read and like my writings, communicate to the customer to fill the gaps, solve the customer's escalations and what not.


I salute the Nikumbh sirs (couple of them) who identified and made me reach this height.


Dear friends, please join hands with me and help the future generation to live their passion as I see them responsible to design a corrupt free and powerful India.
