Uri The Movie with Many Lessons in Management

"How is the josh?" "High Sir!"
"हिंदुस्तान घुसेगा भी और मारेगा भी"
"There is no silver medal in war"
"वक़्त आ गया है ख़ून का बदला ख़ून से लेने का"
And many such dialogues reverberate after one sees the recent Hindi movie 'Uri The Surgical Strike'. Apart from topping the box office collections, the movie has many lessons in Business Management.

The entire PGDM class of 2020 of VVISM Hyderabad was taken to a multiplex for watching the movie. The students came back all charged up. It was then that Ghumakkad decided to run a Case Study based on the movie. It was very satisfying when the students brought out the following concepts through various events/scenes in the movie.

  1. Team work at multiple levels
  2. Goal setting
  3. Alignment of individual goals with org goals 
  4. Role clarity of every team member
  5. Dealing with Uncertainty
  6. Leadership
  7. Planning and execution
  8. Motivation
  9. Communication
  10. Selection of Team 
  11. Emotional Quotient and its power
  12. Coordination
  13. Role of technology in achieving goals
  14. Physical and moral courage
  15. Service before self
  16. Humility
  17. Tag-line and impact on marketing
  18. The Power of Networking (Serial Nos. 18 to 22 courtesy Tarun Patro)
  19. Distraction Tactics
  20. Cost of a small mistake
  21. Paying attention to detail
  22. Back Up Plan or Plan B
        We found the movie to be a great learning aid for management students. There are many movies which I have used earlier for teaching. Some of these are listed below:
        Patton
        The Bridge On The River Kwai
        Wake Up Sid
        Dangal
        Lagaan
        Bajrangi Bhaijaan
        MS Dhoni: The Untold Story

        The challenge is to trigger the discussion with right questions. 
        Fellow teachers may reach me for further details on my mail ID. 
        Once again, thank you the Class of 2020 for an enriching session and VVISM for creating the right learning environment.

        Jai Hind!
