They not only make us think differently, but also make us weep and value our relationships and often, instigate us to do the impossible. Yes, that's what inspirational films like 'Hawaa Hawaai' do to us. Interestingly, Amole Gupte's much-anticipated film, which features son Partho and actor Saqib Saleem in key roles, not only mentors the viewers, especially kids to dream big, but also sends out a strong and positive message about business practice. Read on to know the lesson that cine-goers, irrespective of their age, profession and economical background, can learn from 'Hawaa Hawaai'.

There are spoilers ahead so if you haven't seen 'Hawaa Hawaai', we would suggest you to come back to this write-up later.

Be willing to take on more responsibilities: There is no denying the fact that we are happy being creatures of habit. If adults can show qualms in taking up additional responsibilities in personal and professional lives, can’t kids be expected to behave in the similar manner? Unlike others kids of his age, the 12-year-old Arjun Harishchandra Waghmare (Partho Gupte) practices self-discipline and doesn’t blame others for his circumstances and problems in ‘Hawaa Hawaai’. Following the death of his father (Makarand Deshpande), Arjun, the sole male member of his family, not only steps out of his comfort zone, but also takes on additional responsibilities which can be intimidating to any adult.

Be happy even when things aren’t perfect: There are moments when most of us feel like we just don’t have enough – it could be our financial condition, static career or not-so-great romantic life. Instead of brooding over what he has lost, Arjun realizes early in life about the battles he has to combat. With great persistence of mind and support from his family, he is able to find happiness in whatever he gets.

Dream big to achieve big: French writer and Nobel Prize winner Anatole France’s famous quote, “To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe” sums up the essence of ‘Hawaa Hawaai’. It is a fact that the world has never been kind to big thinkers. These wild thinkers are not only mocked but also derided for not paying attention to the consequences of their unconventional thoughts and actions. With his ability to think big, Arjun manages to take big steps in the right direction and achieve his goal by not being influenced by dream stealers.

The glass in never half empty: ‘Hawaa Hawaai’ is a brilliant example of what it means to have a positive outlook towards life. Even though negative thinking is an easier option, Arjun survives the harsh times with his constructive outlook. His motto, “I can and I will” not only boosts up his self esteem, but also helps him to focus on positive aspect of every situation.

Key to success? It has to be consistency: At the time when everybody thinks of instant success and ways that guarantee instant results, the idea of prolonged and consistent efforts remains less appreciated. Even though Arjun doesn’t have the skating wheels and a dedicated trainer, he knows he has to pay his dues before he gets the rewards. With consistent efforts, he outshines the oh-so-trained teen skaters.

Value true friends, they’ll stand by you always: The film sends out the strong message of valuing friendship. Filmmaker Amole Gupte explains why we don’t just want chums, but we need them to live a happy life. Arjun could turn his dream into reality because of that constant camaraderie with street children. From scanning garbage mounds to searching garage for appropriate nuts and bolts, and preparing zari-embroidered shoe covers, all’s possible because of Arjun’s selfless friends.

Money isn’t everything: The film shows how there are several things in life most importantly, a fulfilling not lucrative career. Saqib’s career choice is rewarding because he doesn’t focus on the big bucks like his ‘American keeda’ brother. ‘Hawaa Hawaai’ manages to change your perception about abundance and material goods.

Time is your best asset: Managing time effectively is not as easy as it sounds. Arjun understands that selling ‘cutting chai’ is important to him to make a living, but he also knows that it doesn’t help him advance his goals. That’s precisely why despite a tiring job, he takes time out to practice to hone his skating skills.

Don’t dwell on your past: Yes, the film does put forth moments when Arjun dwells on the past and thinks of his school life when his father was alive. But he emerges victorious in the final race when he understands what had happened is just a memory and there’s no way he can fix his past.

Rise above ‘I, Me, Mine’: Since ‘Hawaa Hawaai’ models good sharing, it offers the viewers an interesting example to follow. Whether it is Butter Chicken which someone had discarded and thrown in a trash can, or taking turns to roller skate, the idea of sharing strengthens the bonds Arjun shares with other streetchildren.
