Bollywood's Best Teachers

Main Hoon Na (2004) – Who would skip class when the teacher is as sexy as Sushmita Sen's chemistry teacher Chandni Chopra? Clad in tiny blouses and chiffon saris, Sush gave a tongue-in-cheek twist to the school-life comedy-drama. Love blossomed between her and student Shah Rukh Khan, but thankfully he was really an undercover agent.

Aarakshan (2011) – Prakash Jha's hard-hitting film on corruption in education takes a contemporary look at the ethics of teachers, some of whom have vested interests in the business of education, while some still believe in imparting education. Amitabh Bachchan plays Dr Prabhakar Anand, the principal who stands by his ideals.

3 Idiots (2009) – A light-hearted, fun film, 3 Idiots came with an underlying message that real education goes beyond the classroom and textbooks. Boman Irani played Viru Sahastrabuddhi or Virus, the grumpy dean of college, and a professor. A perfectionist as an educator and person, he is a teacher who values grades more than any human emotion.

Stanley Ka Dabba (2011) – The sensitive film tells the story of what could be the story of any school, where children just want to have fun and teachers are spoilsports. There are wonderful exceptions, like the popular Miss Rosie (Divya Dutta) who encourages every glimpse of creativity in the kids.
