To the good men in our life. To the kind men in our life. To the wise men in our life. To the nice men in our life! This International Men’s Day, it’s time to cherish the men that make the world a better place. What better way to celebrate such gents than remember 5 inspirational male figures who left an impact with their stories:
Karan Shergill from Lakshya
Not all men are born great, some men rise up to the occasion! Very few screen characters convey this fact as powerfully as Karan Shergill in Lakshya. The film tells the story of a wayward hipster who doesn’t know what to do with his life. When circumstances push him to join the armed forces, the young boy goes through a metamorphosis and emerges as a fearless warrior. A true embodiment of strength and resilience, there is a bit of Karan Shergill in every man we know!
Gurukant Desai from Guru
Who can forget the soaring tale of Guru, a humble school teacher’s son who goes on to become one of the nation’s most successful businessmen. The way Gurukant battles adversity after adversity to climb to the top, is a tale that remains timeless. By always finding a way out of the biggest challenges, Gurukant Desai taught every man that it is no crime to dream big even if you have simple beginnings.
Rohan from Udaan
Vikramaditya Motwane’s debut film introduced us to a fictional personality that was not so fictional for any man. Rohan, a shy young boy with ambitions to become a writer, faces hurdles from the world and brickbats from his father. How this shy young boy learns to stand up for his dreams and fly high forms the crux of the story. Rohan’s journey is relatable to any man who’s seen a lot at a young age and yet decided to fight on.
Iqbal from Iqbal
Can one person battle the harshest of odds? Can a mute boy represent the Indian national cricket team? If he has the grit, if he has the talent and if he has the spirit, anything is possible! Iqbal’s story is living proof that every weakness can turn into a strength when you have that fire inside your belly! Iqbal’s final victory in the film is dedicated to every man who has risen from the ashes and proved himself to the world.
Naksh from Pocket FM’s Insta Empire
Another powerful male journey that is worth listening to! Abandoned by his family. Despised by his in-laws. Naksh was the heir to the richest family in Surat until one risky move cost him everything – and everyone. But now, his gamble is finally about to pay off – and Naksh is ready to roll the dice again. This audio series about one man’s tryst with destiny and the lengths he goes to turn the table will keep you hooked right till the end!
Let these stories of courage, resilience, and ambition inspire you to celebrate the extraordinary men in your life! Share these tales and be part of the change – every man has the power to leave a great legacy!
