Abstract

Films are considered as very valuable tool in classroom learning among several courses on various management aspects as they communicate through their characters, story, context, dialogues and audio-effects at several levels to students. Feature films, documentaries are now widely used by management instructors, as means of illustrating topics and concepts, and as a source of pedagogical material which is more entertaining and motivating than the conventional teaching methods. This article discusses about the movie Tare Zameen par, a 2007 Indian Bollywood movie. The film explores the life and imagination of Ishaan, an 8-year-old dyslexic child. Although he excels in art, his poor academic performance leads his parents to send him to a boarding school. Ishaan's new art teacher suspects that he is dyslexic and helps him to overcome his disability. This paper attempts to draw similarities in method used by teacher on a dyslexic child to emotional intelligence competencies.
