1. The Theory of Everything

A completely biographical romantic movie based on the late Stephen Hawkins. People often think how a biographical movie can be a romantic one, especially a man like Hawkins!

4. Yes Man

Jim Carey is famous for his comedy roles and this fantastic comedy movie ‘Yes Man’ would be the funniest and entertaining one for entrepreneurs.

Found a girlfriend, started passing time with her. The creepy hasty moments of a human life erupted again. The romantic couple split and at the last stage, we found Lucy (Carl’s girlfriend) took photography in her career.

5. Manjhi

This is based on the true story of Bihar, India. The movie title ‘Manjhi’ means the boatman. Critics say the storyline of this Bollywood movie is taken from John Burbidge’s story however this is completely different stuff. The movie starts with a boatman’s personal lifestyle, his unstructured and ignorant place, a giant river fall, and a hospital far away from the village. ‘Manjhi’ was starred by Nawazuddin Siddique, Radhika Apte- the two most convincing and critical actors in the Bollywood industry.

The small village Gehlaur in Bihar has a hospital far away on the other side of the river falls. So any person who needs treatment, he/she have to cross the gigantic streamy river, mostly impossible for many. Manjhi tried to make the shortest path to the hospital after his wife’s loss, due to birth-giving. He took 22 long years to finish the job. Relentless work, no rest for a single day, and motivation gave a superpower to Manjhi. In 2007, Manjhi died and after 4 years, the Indian government made a bridge on falls. Does it seem how people specifically an entrepreneur can learn from this movie? Critics say ‘yes’ and ‘no’ both. But in my view, an entrepreneur should watch it because of motivation, integrity, patience, and never give up mentality. These tetra attributes will win every turbulent provision of our life.

6. The Pursuit of Happyness

This film is based on the true story of ‘rags to riches’, starred by Will Smith (Gardner) who was homeless and suffered in severe calamities of personal life. His wife parted away, leaving their only son. Gardner started an unpaid internship as a stockbroker and kept raising his son. Being a homeless and low-salary person, his life wasn’t that cool and flexible.

Stock brokerage houses interviewed several times and every time he was rejected. After concluding his internship period of 6 months, Gardner was called in an interview. His managers found him expert and efficient, recruit him as an executive. In the climax, we saw Gardner launched his own broker house on the wall street.

Entrepreneurs learn struggling, integrity, skill development, interpersonal skills, and economical aspects of reality- from this movie. Apart from family life, this movie teaches us the ups and downs of life and how to recover from it.

7. Something Ventured
