Only at IIM Ahmedabad: Professor Uses Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar' to Explain Statistics A professor at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ahmedabad has found an unconventional way to teach statistics—using scenes and dialogues from the Bollywood blockbuster *Dhurandhar*.
The creative teaching method has gone viral after a student shared a video from the classroom online.
Instead of relying on textbooks filled with dense statistical terminology, the professor reportedly used references from *Dhurandhar* to explain complex concepts in survey design and research methodology.
Prakhar Singh, the student who posted the video, revealed how moments from the film were used to simplify topics that often challenge MBA students. Singh captioned the video, "Dhurandhar taught me Statistics.
IIM Ahmedabad." What stood out was how seamlessly the professor connected the movie's plot to academic principles.
For instance, one dialogue from the film was used to illustrate cluster sampling, while discussions about rival groups in the movie became an example of stratification. The class transitioned effortlessly from talking about the film's characters to analyzing research methodology.
The approach has resonated widely on social media, with many viewers admitting that statistics felt far less intimidating when explained through popular culture.
