TEACHERS’ DAY
To binge watch this Teachers’ day, here’s a list of our beloved Bollywood films that cover every aspect of the unique student- teacher relationship.
Black
Bestowed with the
par-excellence performance of all-time greatest, Mr Amitabh Bachhan and
nonetheless Rani Mukherjee, Black is a story of a deaf-blind girl and her
relationship with her teacher who himself later develops Alzheimer's disease.
The movie shows unorthodox methods of teaching used by the male protagonist to
teach the meaning of the word to the female protagonist.
Chak De
India
Released in 2007,
Chak De India gave goosebumps to the audience. The story revolves around the
Hockey Player/Coach played by Sharukh Khan who led Indian Women's Hockey Team
to win the World Cup. But the connection between the coach and the players
shows that students should believe and follow the teacher as he/she only thinks
of best for students.
Hichki
A gem from the
duo of director Siddharth Malhotra and actress Rani Mukerji, Hichki throws
light on the education system and the right to education is a decent way. The
female protagonist takes the challenge of teaching the worst class of the
school and with her efforts, makes the worst student into the best.
Iqbal
Making the
impossible possible is one of the many talents of a teacher, and a similar
scenario plays out in Nagesh Kukunoor’s ‘Iqbal’. A coming-of-age film bearing
Kukunoor’s signature treatment, it revolves around a deaf and mute village boy
Iqbal, played convincingly by Shreyas Talpade, who overcomes various hurdles to
fulfill his dream of playing for the Indian national cricket team. His dream
would never become a reality had it not been for the supportive coach Mohit,
played emphatically by Naseeruddin Shah, who made sure to meticulously guide the
boy and never let him give up.
Super 30
The movie is
based on the true story of Anand Kumar who teaches 30 such students every year
who can't afford the fees of IIT coaching classes. The movie shows the
struggles of Anand Kumar and the efforts he made for the sake of the right of
education.
Taare Zameen
Par
That this one
made the list should come as no surprise, as Ram Shankar Nikumbh set the bar
high for an ideal and sensitive teacher in our hearts.Directed by Aamir Khan
and Amole Gupte, ‘Taare Zameen Par’ is about eight-year-old Ishaan suffering
from dyslexia, and worse, nobody being able to diagnose it. As he struggles to
cope with academics and is confused as a “slacker”, a new art teacher (Nikumbh)
recognises his issues and comes to his aid. With remedial techniques and a
whole lot of patience, Ishaan begins to steadily improve his basic reading and
writing skills. Their relationship builds over time, and Ishaan discovers not
just cleaner handwriting but a source of love and support in his teacher
