IN 2008, IIM-Ahmedabad had hinted that its premier courses would provide a thrust towards acquainting its students with insight into the multi-crore movie market. It had plans to introduce an elective course on ‘Introduction to Contemporary Film Industry’ from December, 2008, which would be offered to students of the institute’s flagship post-graduate diploma programme. It had roped in guest lecturers, Lalu Prasad and APJ Abdul Kalam, and was satisfied with the response. The intention to rope in Bollywood greats to elucidate the nitty-gritty of the film industry was because it was gradually emerging as a market that would grow in years to come. Hence, the requirement of professional managers was very much there and was bound to increase.
The latest news is that the director of Dhoom has set the ball rolling. Its director, Sanjay Gadhvi was the first guest lecturer for the above course which has been introduced at IIM-A this year. He is scheduled to take three classes and 86 students have registered for the course. Other Bollywood celebrities who might be seen in this novel venture are Aamir Khan and filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar. Both have impressed the industry with their innovations and IIM-A students would love to get a peek into how their minds work. After all it is not every day that one gets to come face to face with an actor-cum-director like Aamir Khan who has set his sights high and is determined to bag an Oscar award.
There was a proposal to include Sholay in the school curriculum. The realisation has dawned that film-making is real business where investments of several crores have become the norm and there are super minds at work in the background to ensure that returns on investments are always guaranteed. Markets are not restricted to within the country but have become global. That is what business is all about.
