The Jaipuria Institute of Management (Jaipur), Nirma Business School (Ahmedabad) and International Institute of Professional Studies (Indore) have said that they're going to include it in their courses.

The report says that the study will "observe the key learnings that came out of the situations that were created around the release of the film".

One of the producers, Madhu Mantena, reportedly said, "The film has been a rewarding struggle for us. We stood for something and that paid off in a huge manner. We are getting queries from various media and management colleges and institutions who want to make a PR case study on the film.”

Guess there's always a lesson to be learnt.
