  1. IQBAL (2005)
    This sports movie is a story of a young, deaf and mute, village boy , Iqbal ( Shreyas Talpade) and his dreams to play cricket for India. Naseeruddin Shah leads as an ex-cricketer who’s being a teacher to Iqbal. The drama sketches the bond between the coach and th student explicitly, watching the duo throughout the movie is heartwarming.

The story revolves around a 8 year old boy suffering from dyslexia and Aamir Khan plays the bes teacher ever lending and understanding shoulder nad and encouragement to the kid (Darsheel Safari). The movie is the best example as to how teachers/ gurus can transform the life of their students.
  3. DO DOONI CHAAR ( 2010 ) Who doesn’t like this movie? Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh’s family drama profoundly reflects the story of a middle – class school teacher, his struggles and how he doesn’t give up on his principles even at his worst. To watch Rishi Kapoor as a school teacher, his innocence throughout is adorable.

This Hrithik Roshan starrer movie is based on the life story of Anand Kumar, an Indian Mathematician who quits his highly paid teaching job only to teach the underprivileged children for free. The movie unfurls how selfless teachers are!
