Your Movie MBA: Bring us your dialogs
January 29, 2011 3 Comments
Keen to revitalize our flagging blogging enterprise, we have come up with a uniquely desi formula. We will use iconic movie dialogs from hindi movies to deliver management gyan. In what we hope will be seen retrospectively as a brilliant marketing move that sparked international frenzy and fandom, we will use this platform to advance dubious management insights based on famous movie lines.
That’s the plot, or the twist in the plot. Mogambo, khush hua?!
We could choose hollywood lines as well as bollywood, but our desi hearts are etched deepest in hindi. Nary an NRI meeting is consummated until someone brings forth a gem from deep inside. Who can reject the cultural significance of “Mere paas Ma hai“, or “Jaani, yeh bachchon ke khelne ki cheez nahi hai“, or even “Kitne Aadmi thhey“? Who amongst us has not used the line “Thoda khao thoda phenko” to explain to their host why the excess pulaoo at the party must be thrown away?

This is a great idea and fantastic posts. Being a movie fan, sometimes I really feel like using them in office settings. And my favorite is “You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity” by Bullet Tooth Tony in Snatch!
