Name: Rajini’s Punchtantra: Business and Life Management the Rajinikanth Way
Author(s): P.C.Balasubramanian and Raja Krishnamoorthy
Publisher: Rupa publications
Being a south Indian, it was impossible for me to live without hearing the name “Rajinikanth” in my life. Most of the south Indians were watched his films at least once in their life. Just like his films, he made his brand and wealth through his hard work. One thing I have to mention specially is his renowned humbleness. Most of the lines he was given through films are now great dialogues. But as indicated in the blurb, I also have seen so many people who were quoting him in casual occasions for conveying a message in an interesting way (in fact, me also). That much the actor and his stylish film heroes influenced the life of common people.

This book lists 30 top punch dialogues from Rajini movies. The authors P.C.Balasubramanian and Raja Krishnamoorthy then relates these punch lines with business and life management in an absolute creative way. Since both of them have built corporate organizations and have been successful for a long time, these piece of wisdom is a great insight into personal and business mastery.
Highlights

A word of caution: Overall, this is a good light read for everyone, but I think if you are not familiar with Rajinikanth and his films, you will be unlikely to find this book interesting
