Taare Zameen Par
The heart-warming film by Amole Gupte and Aamir Khan released in 2007 and was the story of young Ishaan who is criticised by his parents for his poor academic performance.

The movie will inspire you to tap into your potential, even if it means not taking the conventional route.
English Vinglish
'English Vinglish,' featuring Sridevi in the lead emphasises that there is no age limit to learning. The movie released in 2012, and had Sridevi as Shashi Godbole, a small entrepreneur who enrols in an English speaking course to stop her husband and daughter from mocking her lack of English skills. Her journey will leave you cheering for the protagonist.
Wake up Sid
As the title suggests the 2009 Ranbir Kapoor and Konkona Sen Sharma starrer was a wake up call for students who are lazy and indecisive. Ranbir played a spoilt brat who learnt the value of being financially independent through Konkona's character Aisha Banerjee.
