Introduction

The team lagaan exemplifies the management function

of leadership and teamwork leading the team to victory.

A small town in India suffers not only from a drought but the

whims of British control. people of town were asked to pay double

tax. A young man of the town protest he is given a challenge-If his

town can win a cricket match against the british, there will be no

tax to pay. The quest of knowledge should be more than just books and

schools. Cinema has become an integral part of lour lives and has shaped

public opinion on many subjects. Cinema has an instant, powerful and

longlasting impact over human mind. Apart from sheer entertainment

some movies convey social messages which are in the interest of the

people. Of late, a few movies like Lagaan, Chak De and Lage Raho

Munnabhai also find place in the management books, which have given

a new dimension to Indian cinema.

3/5

Many films that convey social messages are dismissed as critically acclaimed

films, but Lagaan has stood out because of many factors. The movie is about

Bhuvan and his team, who against all odds, fought for pride, land and country andemerged as the winners. It emphasises on how a single person with passion can

make a difference. The main leadAamir Khan is a well known and commercially

successful actor, having a great fan following. The movie is set in the village of

Chamapaner, which connects with every Indian, as most of them have their roots in

some village of India. It also focuses on the unchanged reality of India the wait

for rains every year. Finally, one of its main strengths lays with the sport that

matters the most in India i.e. cricket.

Lagaan teaches lessons that reflect the competencies that Indians need the most. It

pioneers in building a useful and effective medium to communicate relevantlessons in management and everyday living.

For any commercial start up, it requires a vision and the determination to translate

it into reality. This can be seen from Bhuvans character who is risk taking,

responsible, confident and encouraging. Taking risks is an attribute that every

entrepreneur must possess. Without his vision, the villagers would have never

stood against the British.

When required leader should not hesitate forming giving direct warnings. Your enemy can be the closet person to you. Its duty of a leader to keep an

eye on everyone, even to your closet allies. This however does not mean you

need to doubt every ones integrity and intentions but just keep an eye. Dont underestimate anyone, sometimes the weakest looking person turns

out to be the most strong team member (remember kachra)
