Chak De! scores goal in text book

Chak De! India scores yet another hit, not in the box office this time but in the classroom. The Shah Rukh Khan starrer about a gritty women's hockey team that overcomes odds and goes on to win the world championship will now be part of a business school's curriculum.

Aiming to teach aspiring management students some business skills through the film, the Aryans Business School (ABS), on the Chandigarh-Rajpura road in Punjab, has decided to make Chak De! India a part of its Master of Business Administration (MBA) curriculum.

"The film will be taken up as a case study through which management students would study various aspects of management which can help them to be good and effective leaders in the future," ABS chairperson Anshu Kataria said.

"The film which is based on a real life story makes a deeper impact on the students of management. They can visualise the concept of the story and apply it in job areas later on," Anshu added. Some business schools had taken up director Madhur Bhandarkar's film Corporate as a case study last year. The ABS believes Chak De will help understand concepts like human resource management, strategy, motivation, determination, skills, leadership... and making the most out of the worst kind of situations.
