Authorities are all too keen on this cool new syllabus. “These films have been taken up as case studies to analyse strategy, motivation, determination, ambition, time and stress management. The also teach students the difference between organisational goal versus individual goals. They can help them to become effective leaders,” says chairman Anshu Kataria.

But, it wasn’t all about munching popcorn. Students were given a preview before the screening of important extracts of the movies. After the movies were screened, students were asked to prepare a case study of the different aspects they are assigned. We’re sure Aamir Khan would be pleased!
