The bond that every student and teacher share is special. They shape us in every way to make important decisions in our lives.
There are many Bollywood movies that have beautifully showcased the student-teacher bond. While some teachers are sensitive, others choose a brutal way of teaching. However, all of these movies leave us with an emotional message.

But before we move on to the list of student-teacher movies, let`s understand why we celebrate Teachers` Day.
However, teachers` day in India has a different aspect. It was in 1962 that Dr. Radhakrishnan became the first President of India. His birthday came to be observed as Teachers` Day. He was one of India`s distinguished scholars and believed in encouraging every individual to be educated.
He even held teaching positions at various universities in the country. One of his popular Teachers` Day quotes is, "Teachers should be the best minds in the country."
Darsheel Safary`s character, Ishaan Aawasthi, is a dyslexic boy. His condition is often mistaken for lethargic behavior. While no one understands him, Aamir Khan comes as a ray of hope and blooms the artist within Ishaan.
If this movie and Aamir and Ishaan`s student-teacher bond don`t make you cry, we don`t know what will.

While some teachers are sensitive to you, others take a brutal route to teach you essential life lessons. Naseeruddin Shah was one such coach who believed in mute and deaf Shreyas Talpade`s passion for becoming a cricketer.
Iqbal is one such aspiring film that, despite all odds, will make you believe in yourself even at your lowest points.
3. Hichki
What happens when an aspiring teacher with Tourette syndrome turns her weakness into her biggest strength? We all deserve a teacher like Naina Mathur (Rani Mukerji) who normalizes conditions that are not in our control.
She took the term "rags to riches: quite literally and made a bunch of useless students into a batch of successful individuals.
A left-handed spinner whose life changed when she found a coach who never saw her disability as her weakness. Instead, he empowered and inspired her to be normal and achieve her dreams.
Radio City wishes you a happy Teachers` Day.
