9 Things we can learn from the Movie Lakshya

Today, I will describe in this post that why Lakshya Movie is a must-watch movie for every Adolescent and teenagers. This movie was released in 2004. It starred Hrithik Roshan as the lead actor. It is a story of a youngster, Karan Shergill, who is confused in his life, he was not able to find out the goal "Lakshya " of his life. One day his friend told him that he was joining the Indian Army, Karan Shergill was also  influenced by his friend. Therefore, he also joined the Army. But at the final moment, his friend denied joining Army. Twist came in the Movie when Karan Shergill left the Army camp without informing any person. When he met his girlfriend Romila Dutta (Role played by Preity Zinta). She accused him of being a careless person who can not stand by the decision he took for himself and told him that she can not marry a guy like him. Then Karan Shergill went back to the Army Camp and story move further.

Here are the 9 things you can learn from the Life of Karan Shergill and the Movie Lakshya.
             
1. It is ok to be confused in Life.

  This song came just after Karan Shergill's  friends had decided the goals of their life but he was confused and suddenly some thoughts came to his mind that Why he is like that, Why he is not able to find the goal of his life. Positive things that teenagers can take from  is that  Karan Shergill had not any procrastination feeling. Yes,  he was confused but he never regrets anything in his life.

2. The World is full of stories, interesting people. How can someone feel bored?

  This is a scene where Karan Shergill asked his girlfriend Romila Dutta why she never felt bored in her life. Romila Dutta replied that the world is full of stories, full of interesting people. How can someone feels bore in their life? She said that if people are interested  in their life, they can not get the time to get bore?

This scene depicts that there will come a situation in your life where you will feel useless and many thoughts will come in people's minds. It is because they have not found the goal  of their life yet.
We can observe one more thing here is that he was not depressed at all. He was not in stress at all.
In my humble opinion, there  could be various reasons behind that one could be his hobbies.
He was confused but his mind was so strong that negative thoughts were not coming in his mind.

3. Reading books is a good habit.

   Here, I have attached two photos. In the first photo, Romila Dutta is reading a book and in the second photo, Karan Shergil is reading the book under a tree.
There is an adage that books are the best friend of a person. When you  watch the movie, you will find out that they both feel  complete with inner peace and You will observe a sense of satisfaction on their face. Yes, Books  will never leave you alone and you will not be affected by other people's life.

4. You should have the courage to go against the decision of your father.

This scene depicts a very common scene of an Indian middle-class family, it depicts a relationship  between a son and his father. When Karan Shergill joined Army his father was not happy with the decision. He was furious with his son. He asked his son by whom permission are you  joining Army? He further asked his son if you will join the Army than after you who will take care of my Business?
Karan Shergill was a very adamant person and he stuck to his decision and joined the army.

Neither Karan Shergill nor his father was wrong here. His father has done all the hard work in his life and settles a very big business in a Metro City Delhi.He could have the desire that  after me, my son will take care of my business. But Karan Shergill was joining Army. Therefore, his dream was shattered.

5. Don't be an animal (Never chase a girl)

Karan Shergill was frustrated and devastated  after his girlfriend had left him.

When Romila Dutta rejected Karan Shergill and told her that She can not marry a guy who can not stand by his decision. A decision which was taken by himself for the first time in this life. She can not marry such a person as he is.
Yes, Karan Shergill was devastated, he was frustrated.  The beauty which Farhan Akhtar has shown here is very applaudable. Karan Shergill did not chase the girl. He did not try to contact her. He did not become an animal after that. He never showed a rejection feeling to anyone. Neither to his friends nor to this family. This is something that today's teenagers can learn that whenever a girl rejects you should not chase her. You should  force her to listen to yourself. You should have dignity and You should have some respect for her. You should respect her dignity.
A Woman should be respected for many reasons. Her decision should be respected for many reasons.

6. Discipline makes good Leaders.

Look at the intensity in the eyes of Karan Shergill. This intensity is required in Leader's eyes.

Karan Shergill breached the Army Rule and Court Marshall was waiting for him. He confronted his senior officers and accepted all the mistakes he had made while he was on training. There is an adage that says "Fortune favors the Brave". This is what happened here with Karan. He was given 1 month. In one month, his behavior will be observed and then further decisions will be taken.
In 1 month's, he showed the discipline an Army Man must possess. He wakes up early in the morning and starts further training. He starts a good habit of writing. He starts a good habit of reading. Here  are things which a leader must possess and the song "Yeh hi Lakshya hai tera" perfectly describes the scenario.

7. Team Work

The Song "Kandhe se Milte Kandhe Kadmo se Kadam Milte hai, Hum Chalte hai Aise dil dushman k hilte hai".  If someone wants to see what teamwork could be like, then this is a perfect movie to watch out. The Lyrics of the song are something that can boost or strengthen teamwork in any organization.

8. Sometimes It is ok not to look back or look down

3rd Battalion team of Punjab Regiment led by Captain Karan Shergill.

In this scene, a junior told his captain Karan Shergill that Sahabji niche dekne se dar lagta. Kya karu ? . Karan Shergill replied you should not look down. This is the only solution.
This is also the life we should never look back in our life, No matter what.

9.Lakshya
